In a perfect world, no child would ever be sick. It grieves me to hear about Peter, and I will pray for him.

Woot for found rings & healings & graceful deaths! I've been in geriatrics enough to see possibly hundreds of people "select" the day they die.

jenny, you don't have to be a religious person (fwiw, I don't consider myself a religious person), just ask for grace in spite of not being familiar with your God, and ask for successful surgeries. Not one of us could ever pray enough to warrent the graces of the Almighty! (and I"d pray for your own peace, too!)

Praying for you both Jenny and Lucy.

Well, in addition to Peter (who had a chemo treatment yesterday), please add my friend Angie. She confided in me yesterday that she was diagnosed with full blown uterine cancer in October, had a full hysterectomy in December (except for part of one egg, to help keep her from going through menopause), and finds out on Monday if it's spread elsewhere. She just turned 30 last July, and has 2 little girls.

First surgery went well! The majority of the tumor is out! He lost a lot of blood and will be in the ICU for the next two days. Lots of texts from his mom today.

Tomorrow is my stepdads. I"m sick to my stomach about it because I'm an idiot and looked up the stats on it.

Thanks for the prayers.

My dads surgery went well! He's in a lot of pain right now but my mom said hes been teasing the nurses so thats good news. The lymph nodes looked good so hopefully the cancer hasn't spread!

The kid that had surgery on Monday is now out of the ICU and walking around.

Thank you so much for all the prayers and support.

Great news all around Jenny!!

late to the forum, but prayers and hugs to all in need, and glad to hear such good news! continued wishes for continued good news.

I'm coming up on my due date and still praying that the little one is okay. I had an unscheduled position ultrasound last week and the baby is not breech, but they want me to go in for another one today.

prayers and best wishes to you raggedy ann!

Potential happy things today!! I should get dressed and ready to go!

I just posted about this in the "What do you feel like saying" thread, but I'm going to start a new internship and I'm really excited about it! I think it is just the kind of thing I've been looking for!

Hooray for you!

Thanks! I talked to the vice principal again today to answer some questions I had, and I decided to go for it! Yayyy!

No need to feel "wrong" to come to this thread... keeping you in my thoughts. You sound kind of depressed and definitely overly stressed. Have you considered talking to a counselor at the school's health services?
