Prayer Request Thread

They didn't get the ice-thingy for pain for you? It really helps! You can thank PedoPeter/KH and the open border for doctors not appropriately treating pain anymore. Few examples here- the Breg polar system that requires you buy the ice chest circulator too which is round $200 IIR, and there is limited mobility while you use it, but I find these highly effective. I used the Bregg knee version and it was much more effective than I had imagined.

Barry had surgery today. Doctors stopped the bleeding on his brain.
He’ll need another surgery next week. Keep the prayers coming. I’m going Saturday and see him. Thanks to everyone.👍🙏
 
Surgery went great yesterday. They stopped the bleeding on his brain.
He is talking this morning, wants a Sprite and a cigarette , he might get the Sprite!🤣.
He will need surgery next week as they found 7 aneurysms that will have to be dealt with.
The wife and I will drive to New Orleans tomorrow morning, resupply Barry's wife say hi and come back!
Thanks to everyone for the support and prayers.
We truly don’t know what we have until it’s at your finger tips slipping away.
Love the people around you every day!👍

I am not going to get super specific but I am asking for prayer. My wife and I seem to have some issues with our relationship that might be shattering.

We are coming up on 31 years married and I absolutely am fighting for another 31. I am currently at a loss and am putting it all in the Lord’s purview because it is Him that put us together and I know I am just not able to change anything but myself.

Us relocating 4 years ago and the issues of aging and family tragedy have left us very disconnected.

Just pray please.

Barry had his second surgery today, they removed the AVM and the aneurysm. Lasted about 6 hours. Said he did well! They will put the rest of his skull back in a few months. Thanks everyone for the prayers and support! 🙏🙏🙏 We'll know in the next day or two how he is doing.(y)

Prayers for you both.
 
After five ER visits and two surgeries, my boy is on the mend. Thank you for the prayers, from the bottom of my heart. At almost two years old, a staph infection really hit him, but it hasn’t gotten to his blood, thank the Lord.

This is the best part of the Hide, in my humble opinion. Prayer is so powerful.

Psalm 4:1
Great news!! Hope for a speedy recovery for the little guy.

Barry finally got solid food today, pull the feeding tube out. Had PT.
Thanks for the thoughts and prayers. It will be a while before he can come home!
Thanks to everyone👍

Went to New Orleans today to see Barry, starting to move his left hand as brain swelling goes down. He is in great spirits!👍
Tomorrow is another angiogram, if all is well he will be transported here to Lafayette, he will stay at a rehab center for 5-6 weeks, then if all goes well and swelling goes down, they will put the plate back on his skull. He said today:” this sucks”! I asked him if he’ll be glad to leave? His answer” I miss all the pretty nurses giving me sponge baths!” He said it front his wife.🤣🤣 Thanks to everyone, his goal is to be back at work before the end of the year! 👍👍🙏🙏

Please pray for my 87 year old FIL. Today he had either a stroke or seizure. He is now awake and alert, but has no memory of what happened. My wife is at the hospital with him and they will probably admit him for tests. He is in a steady health decline, as are many people his age. He is a good man, and it's going to break my wife's heart if anything happens to him.

Want to update on my requests. Things have improved between Angie and myself. Neither of us are in any way wanting out and I hope that wasn’t the impression I gave. Sometimes I think we lose sight of each other somehow.

Angie recently went through her dad progressing through dementia and subsequently passing. If anyone should understand just how it can affect you as an adult to lose a parent, it should be me. We have committed to each other to have more patience and be less quick to be angry.

I have been looking for a job, this area is not like more urban areas and the closest larger city is 50 minutes away. I have applied to several employers, please pray for the right fit.

You got em man. I recently lost my mother back in April and can sympathize greatly on what kind of emotional toll it takes not only on us as people but on the relationships we have also. I’m dealing with similar situations. I’ve been praying to be slow to anger and quick to love and I pray that for you guys also. Broad shoulders my man. Y’all got this. 💪🏻

Excellent 👍🏻
 
I have an interview with the county DSS on Nov 5 👍🏻

I have been working on me really hard. I can now do 2 laps, rapid pace around my perimeter trail with no stops and feeling great. We’re in mountainous terrain so the 1.5 miles and elevation changes are tougher than most would think.

Hitting the weights 3 times a week and already seeing changes. I used to be very fit and know how but at 54 things are slower to adapt and heal LOL.

Working on my mindset. No one is responsible for my happiness and satisfaction in life but me. To put that responsibility on another is not fair nor practical. Only person I can change and control is me. Joy comes from inside.

I appreciate continued prayer.
