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.

She will likely stay a while more.

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.

CG, prayers coming your way. I understand how you're feeling, all the stuff piling up. I lost my grandfather last week and I'm also dealing with some crap with my former employer. I'm trying not to just sit and dwell on it all, but it's tough.

positive energy, thoughts and prayers sent.

I am waiting to hear about a job, that I really want.

Prayers for all - I'm trying this Lent to be very intentional in my praying. So, for elicampbell, BetteDavisEyes, ree-Xi - Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."

Thank you for all of your prayers.

And SWTX, Thank you for that scripture. I really needed that. I'm not very religious, but I am Catholic, and those words are a great comfort. I know that I'll never be cured of my disease, but I work really hard on having the courage and strength to get through whatever comes my way.

And here's some great news - my neighbor's baby made it though open heart surgery GREAT! He's off the ventilator and in ICU right now. The pictures are so precious. He looks so good despite just having surgery. He's such a little fighter!

Lastly, my friend who had islet cell transplant and removal of her pancreas, spleen and appendix, is on day 10 of recovery. She has a fever right now, which is a challenge because she's on immunosuppressants, so they are watching her closely. If the fever goes away, she might be out within the week.

I will continue to pray for everyone who needs them.

[elicampbell]

Thanks SWTXBelle.

Following up on my post from a few pages ago, has anyone ever seen a grief counselor? I know that is a very personal question and I understand wanting to keep that private, but if anyone has and would be willing to shoot me a PM, I would be grateful!

Early yesterday morning, a police officer was shot and killed in my hometown. I knew him only by face and name, but my half brother used to work with him, a cousin of mine went to prom with him, and a lot of my other friends were close to him. A close friend to my family works on the police department with Officer Andy Dunn. He left behind a wife and a 3 year old and 5 month old. The city has never had an officer shot and killed in the line of duty before, so this has hit us all very hard. Please keep all those affected in your prayers.

A friend has just found out that her unborn child is afflicted with Trisomy 18. Children with that have a 90% chance of dying before they reach age 1 and about half die at or before birth. Please keep her in your prayers!
