URGENT REQUEST FOR FRIEND'S RUNAWAY GRANDDAUGHTER
Posted on 5/7/2024 by Stars & Stripes Forever

My friend's 19-year old special needs daughter left home to live in Washington D.C. with a person she met on the internet. The last we know is that she contacted her mother to say she arrived in Virginia.

The daughter was adopted from Russia and has detachment syndrome and other medical conditions.

My friend's daughter heard from the granddaughter a few minutes ago (9/4) and knows the location of where she is. However, we don't if she is safe. Mother hasn't a clue about the danger she could be in.

Pray a wellness check can be obtained to see what is going on. May the prodigal return.
In Jesus Name. Amen.

  • 90+ year old pastor I saw briefly on Friday. Hope to call him this week.
  • 80+ year old pastor friend a bit of a medical scare - we do try to talk every couple of days
  • And I, of course, hit a deer 2 Saturday nights ago - I was trying for a local job too - very close - sigh.

2) 80+ years pastor friend - going strong - ministers all over the place - always on the phone - always running somewhere - he and his wife still need a little prayer

Thanks for the all those prayers for my friends and for me as well - and prayers up for all who need it even if not written down - God bless you all.

Posted by Veto! (8/29/2024)

Please pray for my sister MaryPat. Many years ago, she posted here as RightFootForward. She is now in the hospital in Houston with severe heart problems. Her daughter, Julie, just called me to report the cardiologist said she probably won’t make it. Julie just had surgery on her leg and her MD says “no” to flying. Julie lives in Northern California My daughter, Katy, lives in Spokane. Recently widowed, she plans to put her dogs in a kennel, drive to CA to pick up Julie and then drive to Houston to see MaryPat. So many things to pray for, beginning with my sister, MaryPat. Please pray for her and for Julie and for the safety of Katy’s long drive if it happens. May God bless you too.

Personal prayer request — that my husband finally gets a job after six months of countless interviews, first, second third— then ghosting.

Apparently this ghosting is very common — but we really need help and it seems like the Heavenly Father is just ignoring us. Please pray for us if you can.

PRAYER NEEDED FOR POLLWOG'S ADOPTED DAUGHTER
From pollywog | 05/16/2024

UPDATE: (8/24/2024)

Please continue praying for my adopted, special needs daughter, age 33, who lives with me. She is on disability but also tries to work through Regional Center for Disabilities.

Her “employer” is less than fair. She has only worked 2 days in two months! She does kitchen work in a restaurant. Pray specifically for GOD’S leading if that is to mean a new job.

One PRAISE is that she is developing spiritually through this all!! I am also concerned for her future if and when the Lord takes me home to be with Him.

Thank you so much for your prayer support.

URGENT! PRAY FOR CAPTAINPHILFAN - MULTIPLE NEEDS
Posted by Dahoser

UPDATE: (8/22/2024)

It’s been a terrible year. If it’s not a curse, it’s God Himself trying to tell me something ;)

As for the latest, the 3 tendons on the back of my hand that were cut are healing somewhat. Since June 11 I haven’t been able to use that, my right hand, for very much at all. No grip, no strength. Still swollen. Surgery just about 2 months ago now, I’m getting terrifically impatient and despondent over not being able to do my usual things.

As for the emergency hernia that happened - what? 5 days after hand surgery? - I had a spigelian hernia, no idea how or when but all of the sudden it was THERE. From 0 to 160 in 10 minutes. Wow, the pain.

So, the wonderful surgeon came in and opened me like a can of sardines at 3 AM on a Sunday morning, and after an initial 2 weeks of not doing very well, THAT is healing magnificently. The scar is about 8-10 inches but most of the bruising is gone. I still can’t actually look at it.

Before we knew what it was and before the morphine and fentanyl kicked in, I asked Dahoser to not only post for prayers on FR but I made him baptize me, too. Some kind of glacier water right outta the machine - I hope God doesn’t mind.

(now, although I do profess to be a born again evangelical I have yet to be properly baptized. Just haven’t found a church that does living, running water baptisms and I never thought the fish tank kind were very hygienic or proper).

And so that’s it for my surgical updates. I am surely better than I deserve but I wish I was a bit better than that.

Aside from all that, Dahoser is still only working a very cheap contract and we need a full time job with health insurance. It’s good to have the paycheck from the contract but that will be ending soon and we may end up living in our cars. At least we have 2 of them :)

Oy. Can you tell I haven’t been out of the house much in 3 months?? Dang I need some real life people, too.

You be well and blessed. I love my FReepers as much as anyone. I’m even blessed enough to be friends on facebook with a bunch.

Prayers up for you, too, for whatever you may need or our Father sees fit to bless you with. .

PRAYER FOR METMOM AND FAMILY
Posted by metmom

UPDATE (8/18/2024) RE: metmom's digestive problems.

I have had a small amount of success in adding a little variety to my diet again and with some supplements I’ve been taking. Because of that, I’m feeling much better.

Still a LONG way to go, but this is the most progress I’ve seen in a very long time. Thanks for the prayers, all, and for the continued prayer.

UPDATE (8/18/2024) RE: Children's employment

  • Son’s job situation is stable and good. Thanks again for the prayers.
  • One daughter was moving for her job. That went well. She’s now out of CA, but the cost of living for her has gone up a little. So she still has some financial needs. A pay hike would be welcome for her.
  • Other daughter is in a good job, but is very frustrated in a house search. Housing costs are ridiculous, and she hates renting. Her boyfriend needs a job because the job market is also terrible. They’re in ME. IMO, the only way she gets a house at a decent price is if God provides it through someone who isn’t motivated by greed.

PRAY FOR RUSTY
Posted by CottonBall

UPDATE (8/18/2024) Rusty0604

I've been really busy with stuff one has to do after moving. Driving and grocery shopping again but it takes a toll on my neck. And doing things with grands.

I got physical therapy to take my Texas surgeons prescription, so I start Thursday, glad because I couldn’t get a GP appointment until October. Since I missed my oncology appointments in spring because of my neck I was hoping to just get a referral for my tests.

HMOs present a real problem, and hard to get an appointment is government run healthcare for ya. I have Medicare advantage but Obamacare made private practice almost obsolete.

Continued Prayer points:

Recovering from neck surgery
Improved sleeping positions
Arm strength
Shoulder pain
Blood pressure

PRAYER REQUEST FOR ME
(Long Covid, Insomnia, Retirement)

Posted on 5/17/2024 by ducttape45

DUCTTAPE45 NEEDS CONTINUED PRAYER! KEEP HIM ON YOUR LIST.

Good evening Freepers.

I wanted to share a few prayer requests with you. I don't normally post things like this for me as I try to keep some aspects of my life close to the chest, but I wanted to share these as they continue to be things that I am dealing with, some of them for quite some time.

First off, Long Covid. As many of you know, I retired from my job in Apr 23 because of Long Covid. I was infected with Covid 19 in February 2022, but in Nov 22 I developed Long Covid. I initially recovered from Covid and was on my way to what I thought was a full recovery when Long Covid hit me, and hard. Nov 2022 to Apr 2023 were very difficult months, and Long Covid has stayed with me since then, and although it's not quite as bad as it was, I'm still disabled. What I got hit with was a combination of chronic fatigue, extreme nausea, insomnia and dizziness/confusion. While the fatigue and nausea are not as bad, I still suffer with all of those symptoms. It's only by pacing myself, resting and eating very bland foods that I am able to get by. And that leads me to my next request.

Second, Insomnia. That aspect of my condition has been extremely rough. From Nov 22 to Apr 23 I was taking a fist full of drugs in order to sleep. I did not put in a full day’s work that entire timeframe because of the Long Covid, and not being to get a good night’s rest made things worse. Even though I was taking those drugs my days were still hard to get through. It’s a good thing I had over 400 hours of sick leave. It came in very handy.

When I finally retired I tried to get myself off those drugs but it proved very difficult. I was basically addicted to them by that point and trying to go “cold turkey” was not a good idea. It wasn't until late December that I finally hit upon a game plan to get rid of the sleep meds but it's taking this long to play out.

With the assistance of a VA counselor helping me with my insomnia, I was able to reduce my intake over the months until, just this week, I finally stopped taking the sleep drug, Temazepam/Restoril, altogether. When I started taking that medication, I was taking 30 MG capsules. I was able to reduce that to 22.5 MG by Nov/Dec 23, then to 15 MG in Jan 24, then 7.5 MG since March. Just a couple of days ago I stopped taking it altogether. But it wasn't without assistance from the VA counselor helping me modifying my sleep patterns that I was able to do so. He’s also had me keep a diary to chronicle the entire process. HOWEVER, I now have to give my body time to adjust and hopefully get my sleeping pattern on track again. With each reduction in medication it normally takes about two months to re-regulate my sleep.

Third, Retirement. Since I retired I've been trying to get various aspects of my retirement in order, but there have been bumps along the way.

  • OPM had to adjust my retirement because they didn't calculate it correctly when retired in Apr 23. It took about two months but it finally got fixed. However, I was short changed in that my retirement pay is $200 less than I was quoted before I retired. The GRB website the government uses was not accurate in how it calculated my retirement. I come to find out that I did not have 30 years of total government service, but instead had 26 years and 8 months. They neglected to tell me that almost 4 years of temporary employment didn't count towards my time. GRRRRRRRR.
  • Social Security and VA disabilities were applied for.

    SS denied my in February of this year, after a wait of over 6 months, and I hired a SS disability lawyer to appeal my case. It's ongoing.

  • The VA is another matter entirely, and honestly, I am extremely angry at the VA because they continue to deny appeals to get my disability claims approved. For instance, even though they now admit that military service caused hearing loss and tinnitus, they won't overturn their previous denial from 2006. The lawyers I hired to file the appeals have received three denials since summer last year. So in addition to being denied in 2006 and 2011, that's now five total denials on that one condition alone. And there are others.

    The lawyers are trying to figure out what to do next, but I know what I want to do, and that is fire off a letter to the VA expressing my anger. The department in the VA that deals with disability claims no longer works for the veteran. They actively work against them, and I really want to express my outrage to them.

  • Retirement location. I really need to move from where I am. The housing I’m in is old military housing and is not in good shape. I would like to move to better housing but of course housing, whether one rents or owns, is priced through the roof. If either, or both, of the disability claims get approved I'll bring in more funds, but I could be waiting for several months, if not a few years, for that to happen. I am on a waiting list for senior apartments in West Lafayette, IN. That location would be ideal because I would be real close to my daughter, but the waiting list is extremely long and it could be years before there is an open unit. I’ve been trying to locate other places to move to but it’s difficult to get out since Long Covid reduces my endurance, and Google Maps doesn’t do a good job in keeping its database updated.

Whew, that took longer than I anticipated to type out. I know that is a lot to take in, but those are the areas I really need prayer for. I appreciate the time you took to read all that. Thank you and God bless you all.

I got an update on my mother. She is being moved to the memory care unit of the nursing home she’s in tomorrow. My sister said she’ll get better care once she’s moved. Thank you all for your prayers. Thank you.

PRAYER FOR NIECE
Posted by GailA

UPDATE (3/16/2024)

My niece has Gastroparesis, it’s a slow digestive disorder, I went through the same thing years ago. It is totally diet-controlled. The 1 med is useless. Supplements, eat simple, no hulls, peels, or seeds.

I’ve already told her what to do, she just has to be patient and start slow. Doctors sent her home on a liquid diet. Down to 95 lbs. I hit 108.

The coatings on fruits are making people sick. And you can’t wash them off, Gates crap. Apeel or Peelz. Handle with surgery gloves.

Thank you.

PRAYER REQUEST FOR MY MOTHER
Posted on 3/24/2024 by Momaw Naden

UPDATE (06/27/2024)

My mom is doing fairly well. (Lumpectomy surgery and chemo.) Most days are ok, but occasionally she has fatigue and queasiness. She also has lost all of her hair and wears a wig now. But overall, she is weathering the treatment better than I expected.

My mom will be having her 4th and last chemo treatment on July 2. After that is some radiation treatment and then she should be ok again.

Thank you so much to everyone for praying to help my mom and my family through this challenging time. May God bless you all!
