a prayer request for my mother

[Dave2112]

Been away from the Forum a bit, and I'm just seeing this. My thoughts and prayers are with your mother, you and the rest of your family. I sincerely hope for the best, and quickly.

You got it buddy.. as one who does suffer with spinal nerve pain.. I know exactly what she is feeling as you described it.. I DO. I am in the same boat as her.. I will gladly add her to my prayer list.

HUGSSSSSSSS/Lisa

[Leo tickles]

Best wishes from me. May all be well soon.

I don't know how this will sound and frankly I don't care how it sounds BUT...

I hope your mom gets Pizzzayyed!! And I mean seven figures worth$$

She is in UNNECESSARY PAIN due to a surgeon having an accident? I'm not a sue-happy by any means, but this is an exception to say the least!!

I wish your mom the best and hope for her recovery man!

 

[love feet]

My best wishes to her!!!!

 

[Dussicar]

Well, I am not a praying man, but I wish her the best of luck.

It's never easy to deal with a parent's ailment.

 

[minerva]

Being in constant pain is the most terrible thing.
I'm sending all my best wishes to your mom and hope the surgery will be a full success. I truly hope, she will be painfree and able to fully enjoy her life again.

Its awful to see a loved one in pain...I hope all goes well and thing improve for her. You guys will definitely be in my prayers.

Jeff your mother will be fine. She is in my prayers as well as you are. She has many angels with and around her. She will come through this very well. After she recovers she will need to do some stretching and back exercises to make it stronger, that will be the hard part. Let her know that there are many prayers for her. It is nice to see how much you care about her🙂

*Very sorry, hope that is fully remedied very soon.

Don't know how much weight mine carry... but you and your Mom have them.

My thoughts exactly, and I'm sure there are more thoughts and prayers than are listed here by far as well.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support, and the PMs following up.

Unfortunately things took a turn for the worse, my mother had pneumonia for over a week and didn't know it because she's on such heavy drugs. Over the weekend they had to rush her into emergency surgery. It worked but she's going to be recovering for months, so the surgery to relieve her pain has been put on an indefinate hold.

She's in a great hospital, but I just can't imagine trying to recover from this surgery while in the kind of pain she's in. I don't know where she finds the strength to do this.

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

((((HUGGGGGGGGGGGSSSS)))) Oh, Jeff! That's aweful! Still sending healing energies her way. This must all be driving you crazy. You know where to find me if you need to vent.

 

[TklDuo-Drew]

We'll continue keeping your mom in our prayers, Jeff.

It looked pretty in french.. But, I'll post the translated version too.

Laissez-moi effectuer mon travail chaque jour ; et si les heures obscurcies du désespoir me surmontent, peux je ne pas oublier la force qui m'a soulagé dans la désolation d'autres fois.

Peux je néanmoins me rappeler les heures lumineuses qui m'ont trouvé marcher au-dessus des collines silencieuses de mon enfance, ou rêver en marge d'un fleuve tranquille, quand une lumière a rougeoyé chez moi, et de moi a promis mon premier Dieu pour avoir le courage parmi les tempêtes des années changeantes.

Épargnez-moi de l'amertume et des passions pointues des moments sans surveillance. Peux je ne pas oublier que la pauvreté et la richesse sont de l'esprit. Bien que le monde me connaisse pas, peuvent mes pensées et les actions être comme me maintiendront amical avec me.

Soulevez et vers le haut mes yeux de la terre, et laissez-moi ne pas oublier les utilisations des étoiles. Interdisez que je devrais juger d'autres de peur que je me condamne. Laissez-moi ne pas suivre la clameur du monde, mais de la promenade calmement dans mon chemin.

Donnez-moi quelques amis qui m'aimeront pour ce que suis je ; et la subsistance brûlant jamais avant mon vagabond fait un pas la bonne lumière de l'espoir.

Et bien que l'âge et l'infirmité me rattrapent, et moi relevez pas de la vue du château de mes rêves, enseignez-moi à être toujours reconnaissant pendant la vie, et pour les mémoires vieilles du temps qui sont bonnes et douces ; et peut la soirée crépusculaire encore me trouver doux.

Translation:


Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me in the desolation of other times.

May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of a quiet river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years.

Spare me from bitterness and from the sharp passions of unguarded moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world knows me not, may my thoughts and actions be such as shall keep me friendly with myself.

Lift up my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself. Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my path.

Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope.

And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

OMG. Ok, I'm not officially a doctor yet but I'll just toss a couple a couple things out. Please do with them what you will and don't hold any anything against me, I'm just the messenger. A bedridden patient is stuck lying supine due to their injury, fluid collects in the lungs and pneumonia ensues, it's almost inevitable. The elderly (and my mom's almost 80, I know this routine all too well) and very young are the most at risk for premature death from this unfortunate situation. Above all else, make sure you have a good respiratory therapist on board with your mom's care! Constant suction from medical staff, monitoring and incentive spironometry (that dumb-looking plastic clear and blue device that patient can use on themselves) are HUGE keys to patient's survival here. Sounds like your mom's strong, with a good staff, we'll hope for a positive outcome.
