Prayer request

Superfly said:
Not sure where to put this, but I am asking all praying members to do me a solid and send up a prayer or 30 for my husband. He is not well. He is in the ICU, in critical condition. He has advanced lung disease, and also has MDS, which affects his ability to heal properly. He is having a rough go of it, and I could certainly use some prayers. Even from non believers. God listens to you, too. ;).

This is the sort of situation where we non-prayers are at a disadvantage, having no means of acting at a distance. For those nearby we can do our best, however feeble, to give some practical support. Right now all I can offer you is goodwill - so dreadfully inadequate that it seems presumptious of me to even mentions it.

Ah, that COPD is the mother****er of the bunch, no wonder.

The old guy I told you about was in and out of the hospital for a few years, and he really turned around after he changed to a special diet, so maybe that's something he should ask his doctor about when he gets this behind him and is healed.

There are particular foods that provide the nutrition for the COPD, but it's different for everyone. I won't give advise beyond that, so have him see a specialist for that.

Thanks. Will do.

It's OK. I do appreciate it. <hug>
 
Well wishes sent for a speedy recovery!

A favorite of mine!

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty hard agnostic, and don't have much spirituality. Still, when people in need ask for prayers, I honor their wishes, just in case they work.
 
As an agnostic who nonetheless believes in the power of prayer, you and your husband have mine. Let him know we, literally, wish him well.

I haven't read the entire thread yet, and just saw this thread now.
I will pray for your husband and also for your strength to make it through the days ahead. Prayers work!
Meanwhile, know I will be thinking of you, Superfly.

eta: Glad to read that your beloved is no worse and I will continue to pray that he is resting comfortably and soon on the mend.

God still listens to you, and believes in you, whether you believe in Him or not. ;)

And thank you very much, my friend.

Thanks, Trix. <hug>
 
Thanks to everyone so far who have prayed, and thanks in advance to those who have yet to do so. Your prayers are so appreciated.

This has been a tough row to hoe, and it's still ongoing. Not many people here that can help, and he's afraid of being left alone, so my daughter and I are taking turns round the clock, 12 hours at a time, sitting with him.

On a funny note, he was sleeping today, hopped up on anti-anxiety meds, and started talking in his sleep. He was arguing, in his sleep, with Barnard Thompson, manager of the Regent Beverly Wilshire (also known as Hector Elizondo) in Pretty Woman. Don't know why they were arguing. :lol:

On a good note, he ate solid food today for the first time since he has been hospitalized. That means there's a lower risk for his having to be intubated and put on a respirator. Glory be to God.

I'm so glad to hear he's able to eat some real food, Superfly. :D

You know, there's really great guy I heard about in your area, who really knows how to lift peoples spirits. I've heard that within five minutes of being with him, patients make a miraculous recovery, and are out of the hospital!

I was unable to respond up here until just a few minutes ago.
Please know that Karen and I will be praying hard for your dear sweet husband.
Believe me, I know what it is like to be in your shoes.

Hugs from across the miles for the both of you.
