Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Pam, prayers coming your way. Stay strong. I'll be praying that the spot is non-cancerous. It reminds me that we are all so vunerable and our health so important. Lets think positive. Diane ((((((((hugs)))))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Pam: YOu know we will all keep you diligently close in our hearts as you go through this. PLEASE let us know what you find out! Give yourself the freedom to work through any and ll thoughts before you go. MRIs are scary enough (the process). I would be feeing the same way if I were you....thinking of all the possibilities. It could just be a cirrhosis spot--you don't have to be a drinker for cirrhosis to occur. Or maybe they just got a funny view. We can hope. Regardless, you'll find comfort in planning and spending time wiht all your kids. Keep busy from now until /tues....and then as you wait for the results. UGH. Keep us posted. We care.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2002 Report Share Posted June 22, 2002 Hi Pam I don't post very often either, however I do read all the posts, you are in my prayers. Sophie Mum to Leigh (DS/Autism/Pica) and 6 Prayers > > Hi everybody, > > I haven't posted in a while. I have been busy and I haven't been able to read the post. I hope everyone is doing ok and all the little ones are enjoying the summer(and the gwon ups too). > > I am not a religious person but I do believe in the power of prayer. I have seen what you woman on here can do with prayers. It is amazing! > > I am asking for you all to please say some prayers for me. About 3 weeks ago I went in to see the doctor for constant stomach aches and just feeling tired. They did an ultra sound to see if I had gall stones. I didn't have any but they did find a spot on my liver. The doctor then ordered a cat scan. That showed possibly cancer so now I am going in Tuesday for a MRI. We will know something that day. > > I must say I am really scared. All kinds of things are running through my mind. I just don't want to leave the twins while they are so young. My parents dies when I was young and I don't want the twins to grow up without a mother. I know I shouldn't be thinking of things like that but you just can't help it when you are faced with a scarey situation. So would y'all say a prayer for me tha tteh MRI shows the nodule not being cancerous. Also that it will be somehting that will be easy to get rid of. > > Thank you so much. I will feel better knowing I have some one praying for me all over the states. > > Take care, > > Pam mom to identical twins Hannah(DS) and (DS-ASD) age 7, Dusty 15 and Josh 21 > > > > --------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Yes, I will! Wish we wouldn’t do it! [ ] Prayers Hi Everyone, Are all you sensible people in bed fast asleep. I am finding it getting harder and harder to sleep so thought i would just send a short line. As friends all across the globe we are all suffering our own silent war on liver diesease and you all are in my prayers but i was wondering if we could spare some prayers and thoughts to all the troups that are already stationed in Iran, and to all the reservest troups that we are calling in for training to go to Iran. The media are saying at the moment that it is mainly Doctors and Medics that are the first to go with a lot more of troups to follow. The Prime Minister has said that it is not if we go to war but when. Our own personel war is different but still a hard war to win and we will win. But if for one moment you can give a thought to the other war and the members of the forces and there Mothers Wifes and Children. Prayers do work when other things dont. I hope you dont mind me writing this but as i do the airplanes are flying over the house on there way to Iran.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Jeanette.... it is SO GOOD to see you on-line. I can only imagine what you have gone thru. Hang in there, God has good plans for you and every thing will turn out alright, You have many friends here who care, and worry, and pray for you. He is required to listen, its in His job description. Let us hel you in any way we can... BTW.....you might want to dash a note off to your war department that if they are bent on attacking Iran the USA might not be able to help them as W. has this fixation on Iraq and most of our troops wil be deployed there. ( I couldn't resist that...sorry) My personal views on this operation aside I most certainly ask God to watch over our troops.... yours and ours.... as well as the innocent men , women , and children in Iraq. Would that He grant peace to all the peoples of the world, and that Mankind realize the insanity and uselessness of war. love jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I just can't imagine what type of war this could be. When W. said he was out for Saddam because he tried to kill , Sr., I could understand the anger but how many sons, daughters, mothers and fathers will have to die - in that perpective, his anger is absurd. I don't pretend to understand the history and even all of the current events, but I am a mother who has children and who has lost a child. I don't wish that on anyone if it can be helped. I may have to break out all of my old sixty and seventies songs and start singing them. I support our guys every minute, they have made a tremendous commitment for all of us.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Terri, I dont have AIH, but do have another liver disease. I live about 300 miles southwest of you in Northwest Arkansas near the Mo. Line.. I was up your way in late 2001 and had surgery at St. Louis University Hospital for my liver.. (biopsies and drainage of two large cysts in my liver.. BTW, drainage didnt help) Drs. thought I had AIH , also as I had elevated liver enzymes and an elevated ANA of 1:160.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Lyn, you are one of the closest yet to me. I've been down to Eurica(spell) Springs, is that close to you. I hope you don't have to come back to st. louis soon, but next time maybe we could catch up with each other. I'm being treated by Dr. Bacon at St. Louis University. Sometimes there is a long wait in his office but once your in there he's yours and will answer any question you have. Thanks again, hope you have great days. terri Stidham <lyn_ar_1202@...> wrote: Terri, I dont have AIH, but do have another liver disease.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Dear Matt: I am praying for you, and also that the new year brings you better health. I have RS, and I can't bear to imagine what AS is like in comparison. I've heard pneumonia can be extremely debilitating. I get pleuritis, which is sometimes quite painful, but I've never had pneumonia, just bad bronchitis about a year ago that lasted for a few weeks and I was so sick. I was lucky in that it didn't develop further into pneumonia. The winter hasn't been much better here in NY, very cold, with temps near 0 degrees often or in the single digits every morning. I'm sure it's far worse in Ontario, I can only imagine the amount of snow you must get with it. I hate the cold, it really does me in when it's below 30 and often I just don't even want to go outside. Best wishes for a happy and pain-free cruise! Debra!

Hey, what better place than on a vacation to sit in the shade and read a couple novels and just enjoy the warm and sun and outside I had pneumonia a year ago... It honestly took me months to get back to 'normal'. I can relate with how you are feeling! Enjoy your trip! And don't feel guilty if you chose to sit and read, or watch the scenery.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi Matt, I had Pneumonia in March 2003. Was in the hospital for a week, then sent home on disability. Kept getting low grade fevers, swollen glands, and eye irritation on and off. Also chronic fatigue, and of course all the pain that comes with Spondy. Wasn't until June that my doc realized I was in a very bad flare. I'm just coming out of it now and am hoping to have a couple " normal Spondy / Fibro month and am planning a week away in April. Keep positive and know all of us will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. We will look forward to your return and hearing about your trip!

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Matt, You are in my prayers for sure! You do need this trip I know. Just pace yourself---maybe write down some guidlines for yourself and then stick to them. I know that is so hard to do ===but you know for yourself how important that is. Keep us posted on how everything is going with you!! HUGS Liz ~~~~~~ " Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, and to be needed.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 Matt, May God waft the warm Carribean breezes gently over your body and fill you with the Holy Spirit and sun, sand and sea. Going to Hawaii sends me into remission for a while so I think the Carribean will do the same for you. Sit in a whirlpool and heal thyself, brother!
