  • Prayers Needed

    Monday, March 31, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I feel awful. This bronchitis/pneumonia is taking quite a toll I don't need right now. Breathing is labored. Taking meds as necessary. Head and chest feel like they’re about to explode. My throat is raw. With all due respect to those who are truly suffering in this world and website, I would like to request prayers for a quick recovery. Thanks!!
    Love you all dearly,
    kate

  • Still Need Your Prayers

    Friday, July 11, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    Not much improvement since yesterday. I did sleep pretty well last night so I do feel a little more awake today. Still very shaky. Heart so far is not pounding quite as much. Headache is worse. Having stomach problems, however. No desire to eat this morning yet. Today is supposed to be the worst day of the three, so I don’t quite know what else is in store to come.
    Thanks for all your pray...

    I joined this support group to help my mother in lawwho has MD.  She feels very isolated and useless.  She lives in florida near ft. lauderdals and she could sure use a support group.  Does anyone know of an organization she could contact that might help her cope so she doesn't feel so alone. I certainly appreciate any and all suggestions.  Bless you!!
