Prayer/positive energy request

[ree-Xi]

I have a few prayers requests.

1. My neighbor's infant is having open heart surgery tomorrow. She's petrified for him.

2. A friend of mine had Islet Cell Transplant surgery (10 hours), along with removal of her appendix, pancreas and spleen last week. She is still recovering in the hospital and expected to go home sooner, but because she is on immunosuppressants so that her body doesn't reject the cells, she has sustained two different infections in the past week. She will likely stay a while more.

3. Me, personally. I hate asking, but I've been fighting lung infections - two different types of pneumonia at the same time - after having a random virus, and I've lost about 30% of my lung function. I'm on several antibiotics, but if they don't work completely, I will have to have IV antibiotics and be in the hospital, again, which would be the fourth time in 24 months. I need to find my strength and patience. And courage. Yep, I need a LOT of that!!

Thank you in advance. To everyone else who is asking, I will add you to my prayer list and send a message to someone who runs a prayer list at his church. Funny story, it's the dad and mom of one of my fellow AXiD alumnae association sisters who I met ONCE prior (she moved away). She asked her mom to pray for me, and her parents had their whole church praying. I never met them, but they were so supportive when I was sick in October.

We will rejoice in your salvation, And in the name of our God we will set up our banners! May the LORD fulfill all your petitions.

This is what I get for being on GC at work. I almost cried in the middle of my office. Thank you Belle, that meant a lot.

I will, of course, pray for her, but one quick question: Is her Islet Cell Transplant to cure diabetes?

SWTXBelle: I like that immensely.

Thanks everyone for your positive thoughts and prayers today- the MRI went well, and I should know tomorrow what is up.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes....

I got my MRI results yesterday, and my hip isn't broken! Hooray! The doctor called me yesterday and told me that I was clear to run this weekend! I'm so relieved.

Its purpose is two-fold. To remove a very diseased pancreas due to Cystic Fibrosis that is causing painful pancreatitis. Curing her CF-related diabetes is a bonus. (Many people with CF have diabetes due to a diseased pancreas).

I'd really appreciate some prayers, good thoughts, vibes, positive energy. I'm having some medical issues and could really use some positive energy. I'm feeling very scared and anxious all the time.
