Urgent prayer requst
« on: September 06, 2003, 04:17:56 pm »

I don't know if this is gonna be acceptable or not, but right now I do not care.

I urgently need the prayers of anyone who so believes for my partner/spouse (Rachel) who was in a motorcycle accident this evening.
She was rescussitated and taken to the ER where she became conscious and coherent.
She is presently undergoing surgery and then headed to the I.C. for a while.
If it is within you to pray, and you do not have a religious conflict praying for a lesbian couple, PLEASE do so.
Thank you
Lisa

Lisa,
I don't pray ever, but I hope your pal pulls through.  You're a pillar here.  She must be a good one, too.

With Our Love,

Dear Lisa,
I do pray and I think it's the best medicine. I'm sorry for what you and your friend are going through now. I will keep you both in my prayers,
                                                             
                                                                         Sincerely,
                                                                           Chris

Lisa,

I believe in the huge power of prayer.

Remember that if we ask anything according to God's will, he hears us.

I have just finished praying for you both and I will continue to do so.

Although most of us have never met, there is a sort of bond nonetheless. You and your partner have my sincerest prayers.

Unfailing Prayer to St. Anthony
"Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints"
O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, your love for God and Charity for His creatures, made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me a swift and full recovery for Lisa's partner. O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms; and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours. Amen.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart  . . .

Rachel came through the surgery at about 11:00 e.d..t. and I was with her for a while afterward.  She was concious and responsive, but because of the breathing tube she was unable to speak.

The repaired her coumpound fracture in her ankle, and her broken shoulder blade. They are watching her split spleen and other internals for signs of further internal bleeding. They inserted a chest tube and taped her 8 broken ribs (thus the breathing tube . . . rib pain can cause inability to breath).

She will be treated on Monday for burns on her abdomen which require surgery and skin grafts.

Thank you ALL, I am sure the prayers, positive thoughts, and good wishes were of great help.  
Hopefully the rest will be 'cake' from here.

I will advise of any changes of her condition, and they will be all good ones, right?

Update
It was an extremely scary night, much emotion, many tears, lots of prayer.
She is looking better, Rachel's spirits are up . . .  even her corny sense of humor appears to be resurfacing.
They will be performing additional surgeries this week, but barring any complcations the worst appears to be over.  She is a pretty tough woman.
Bad news, my dad came to help me through today and as we left the hospital he had chest pains   ?
He is in the E.R. sleeping while they monitor him and decide whether to admit him or send him home.

Anyone wanna adopt Lisa the jinx   :-/

Thank you all again for your prater, positive thoughts,  & support.

Dont lose heart. I know there is nothing I can post here to help. But you are not alone.

Dad was released yesterday after a stress test, he apparently did NOT have a heart attack but he will see his cardiologist as soon as he can just to be safe.

Rachel had additional surgery yesterday and they seem to have the internal bleeding under control. Barring infection or pneumonia she should be out of Intensive Care soon.  The fact that they are allowing her to eat as of this morning (a gourmet meal of green jello) is a positive indication that she is becoming stabilized.

Again I want to thank you all for your prayers and support.

Good news all round.  Never under-estimate the power of love and positive thought.

I hope things continue to go well and that your year finishes in a more positive way.
