Prayer Request - Mom in Hospital

Hello All fellow Gatherites!

 

I am sending this out in a time of need.  My Mom has been in the hospital sick now for over three weeks.  She has bronchitis and a lung infection and is breaking apart in every way imagineable.  You see she has lupus and when one thing goes wrong, everything goes wrong.  We have big reasons to be extremely cautious and worried right now because we have been told so many times before that this could be it.  The lupus takes control of the red blood cells and her autoimmune system quits working.  Thus, Death comes to those who are either not strong enough or who have other organs that have been affected or are in bad shape as well.

Please friends, If you could please reach out and help me on this I would really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

Thanking you in advance.

Esther S.~

Kathy - Lupus is a very difficult illness to pinpoint. There is no healing it. There is no chemotherapy for it as if you get it you will surely die. All you can do is continuously take shots for the pain or take pain pills by the handful which my mother dislikes and it goes on and on with problems.

Thanks for your prayers!

Thank you so much for being there for me.

I know lupus. My Mom, my sister and my brother-in-law all have it. My Dad and I are the only ones in the family who don't have lupus. Mom's had it in remission for 23 years, and Sister and brother-in-law are working on getting theirs under control.

Leah - It is a small world indeed when we can share things about each other that we would have never known before. This makes me feel as if we have really made a connection. I am happy that your mother's lupus is in remission now and can only pray that my mothers would as well. She has been fraught with every type of illness known to man it seems sometimes. Hope your sister and brother-in-law get their's under control soon. My prayers are with your family as well.

Thanks.

Prayers going up from me as well. Lupus is common in my dads side of the family. My grandmother as well as various aunts suffered with it. I've been very grateful for years to have been spared that disease.

Any way you would share an image of your mom here, even if it's just a silhouette you've manipulated with software, to preserve anonymity. For me that would be helpful in my prayers.

I've been sleeping less than 4 hours every night since this happened with my Mom as I am too stressed to sleep I suppose and my sleeping pills aren't even working either!

Thanks for your kind words.

The other prayer request was for Eric Volz the American in a Nicaraguan prison for a crime he was wrongfully accused of.

I am so sorry to hear about your mom and will most definitely say a prayer for her and hope that she will recover and get well. I know you must be so worried about her and that is good that you are spending a lot of time with her. I am sure she appreciates you being there for her and loves you greatly. My dad has lupus and has to be careful being out in the sun. I will be thinking about you and your mom.

Ken - My mother can not be in the sun either or her lups will swell up and her face will bloat and her arms will swell...too many problems with this illness. The medicines to get by on the steroids too are very hard on one's body. She also has degenated disks on her spine and can't get surgery for the fear of becoming an invalid...along with her kidneys almost shutting down the other night, there is a plethora of things going on with her.

I thank you for your kindness and prayers!

Esther,
For whatever good it will do, you and your mother have our prayers and thoughts. Lupus is such a devastating disease. I have a very old friend that lost her sister to it, who was also my friend, and she also has it, and continues to struggle through. I also know first hand from the not too distant past what it is like to be sitting in a chair worrying over something you can't do much about for a loved one. Take care of yourself, or you can't take care of her, remember that.

I will lift her up when we say intentions this weekend when we pray.

Passage Isaiah 53:5:
But He was pierced through for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,
And by His scourging we are healed.

Miracles do happen!

I am sorry Esther. I understand what you are dealing with. My mom spent a month in the hospital and a week on a respirator a few years ago. It was so scary stressful! I know that your life is total chaos right now. Just do the best that you can and that is all that you can do. Give your mom a squeeze for me.

Continuing to hold her up in prayer.♥

Dear Esther,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother's illness. I understand what she and your family are going thru. I was severely ill and in the hospital for the month of last Sept. The drs didnt hold much hope for me to make it.
They are calling me their miracle. I not only lived but also became fully functionally again. It wasnt thought that I could.

I am in no way a religious person. (I am a spiritual person who lives a life based on goodness)
But during the month of Last Sept, many, many people prayed for me.
Now I do believe in the power of prayer.
Please, keep asking your friends to pray for your mom.
Ask for her to be put on prayer lists.
I am living proof that sometimes prayers work.

I wish you and your family every happiness and much better health to your mother soon.
p.s. The drs are NOT Gods. Question everything and watch over her.....t
