Marf, will you please add my niece, Jill, to the human needs list. She was diagnosed a few days ago with a brain tumor which appears to be malignant. The results of the biopsy will not be in until after Labor Day. The tumor is inoperable so she will only get chemo and radiation.
She's 42 years old with two young children and a troubled marriage and now this. She definitely needs prayer. Thank you.
Joanne
Would you please add my cat, Sparky, to the list? Sparky is a 12 year old male cat. He has lost weight in the past few months - from 12 down to 8 pounds in 4 months. He now has a bladder infection and had bloodwork drawn today to see what is causing the weight loss. They aren't sure at this point. It may be his liver or maybe diabetes. We'll know for sure on Tuesday.
Anyways, right now, he's not doing so well. He's not eating - trying to, but not eating. I will be syringe feeding him and he will also be on antibiotics for a while. No fever, but very listless and not himself.
Anyways, would you lift him up in prayer that his appetite comes back and he regains his weight and that his blood work comes back with something that's very treatable?
Thank you. :-)
Marf
Cpould yopu change the name Lisa to Lori. I know you have much going on right now, but Lori is the one who has RA and Lupus.
Nora
Dearest Marf,
Would you please add our kitty, Oliver, to the special needs list.
He has stopped eating and is rapidly loosing weight. I feel that terrible decision will have to be made very soon, and Crawford and I are just heartsick about it.
Thank you, dear friend...
Much love, many prayers and infinite HOPE,
Jabi and all of us @ the NuFarmPlaz
Hi, Marf.
If possible, can you make a few last-minute additions to the List for me?
Human Needs
Bonnie, mother who lost her thirty-two year old son in a car crash, for blessings of healing, comfort, and love, bum
Members and directors of non-profit who are struggling to get their horse returned to them.
Linda S, for a lifting of her anxiety attacks and depression, bum.
Daniel Joseph D, for a lifting of his clinical depression, bum
Human Bridge List
Bonnie's son, who was killed in a car crash, for eternal and peaceful rest, bum
Animal Special Needs
ANB, for return to those who own him and healing in his hoof, bum
Thanks so very much!
Marf, could you please add Boyd a very loving orange and white tabby boy who had to be helped across the bridge today due to a unknown illness that left him unable to move.he was only a year old.He was the first baby I ever bottle fed.Thank you.
Jenny and kids
Hi there. I have an emergency update on Sparky.
Last night, he began to have labored breathing. We took him to the ER and he went downhill really fast. They put him in an oxygen tent and gave him glucose, which helped. However, he had 3 seizures and has been given Valium. The bloodwork... I'm too upset to even make heads or tails of it and/or will have a hard time translating it here. But the readings were bad. Right now, they don't know what it is - and aren't ruling out a brain tumor or feline aids (the worst case scenario... I don't think he has either).
Right now, Sparky is resting comfortable at the ER and he's in an oxygen tent and appears to be more coherant.
Please, please, please - keep him in your prayers. I don't have any kids and my 6 furkids ARE my kids. My husband isn't taking this very well at all - Sparky is his baby.
Thank you so much. I'll update when I can. He's 12 years old and was originally being treated for a bladder infection.
I also forgot to add that they are giving Sparky a 5% recovery rate. But I feel better when I just called a few minutes ago and was told he was resting comfortably and was more coherant.
I know God works miracles... let this be one more.
Jill is on the HN list as well as in my prayers, Joanne. The waiting for biopsy results is often the hardest part, isn't it? Once we know what we're facing, we can somehow cope, but the uncertainity and not knowing what lies ahead sort of paralyzes us, doesn't it?
Let us know what the biopsy results say when they come in, okay?
Gentle huggles and many prayers
Nora, I'm so sorry... I don't know what I was thinking about when I did that. It's corrected and won't happen again.
Very red-faced huggles and prayers
Oh no, Jabi. Many prayers coming for Oliver and also for you and Crawford.... it's time for problems to back off for a while and let you catch your breath. Oliver is on the SN list and I've added you and Crawford to the HN list as well.
Keep us posted, okay?
Gentle huggles, many prayers and love
Everyone is on the lists, bum. Bonny is especially in my prayers.... there's a very distinctive pain that comes with the loss of a child, and it doesn't matter how old the child is. Especially when it's as sudden as a fatal car accident the shock is greater, isn't it? Please give her my condolences and assure her that she's in my prayers, okay?
Huggles and prayers
Jenny, I"m so sorry. That Terrible Decision of Love is especially difficult when they're so young, isn't it? And we feel a "special connection" to the ones that we've bottle-fed, for we've truly been part of the life-giving circle for them.
Boyd is on the Bridgelist and you are very much in my prayers.
I'm sorry that this has happened with Sparky, SeaMowse. He's on the SN list and I've also added you and your husband to the Human Needs list. Does the vet think maybe this was a reaction to the antibiotics (I presume he was on something for the bladder infection) or is it something unrelated?
Keep us posted on his progress as you can, okay? And lean on the Circle as hard as you need to lean to make your way along this road.
Very gentle huggles, and many prayers
