A friend in dire need and prayer requests

Postby **Kunoichi** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 10:09 am

I'll make this short so not to bother people too much:

1. My friend who is literally like family and who is very much a mentor and brother to me has a girlfriend who has entered into full renal failure and has advanced stages of emphysema. They do not think she will make it. Praise God she knows Him which is comfort but obviously still hard on my friend. Please pray for strength, comfort, and peace for them both. I am hoping I can be a source of strength and comfort for him as well through all this.

2. Some people on here know I am dealing with medical illnesses. At the moment they are yet undiagnosed. The last specialist I went to is going to over my previous tests, make sure that I do not have specific illnesses. From there he stated that I may need to seek a referral to a teaching hospital and that I may have a rare disorder that none of considered. The symptoms for me is chronic pain (which they now have me on strongest dose of morphine for), seizures, loss of ability to walk etc. While I am daily trying to put this in God's hands, it still can "trip me up" emotionally and spiritually. Please pray that God will give me strength and encouragement through this.

3. My uncle is ill with lymphoma. He is in treatment but as with all cancers, it can be fatal. My best friend has brain cancer, which they were able to remove a large part of the tumor but she has some brain damage and is still in considerable medical need. Please pray for them both for strength and healing.

4. My other aunt and uncle are going to be full time missionaries as soon as their house sells. They are taking their family (2 children 11 and 7 years old) and are going to need funding, guidance and wisdom. Please pray that God provides. They have faith that He will, as do I, if its His will. Just praying they have the perseverance in the face of adversity.

I know this is quite a bit. Thank you for all the support and prayers ahead of time. It means more than you can know.

This is a lot of prayer requests, and we will pray for all of them. The piety you have in such harsh circumstances is very inspiring to me.

I logged on to just say a huge thank you for even considering praying for me in the first place. I am crying as I read so many people's support.

I pray God blesses you all ten times what you are offering me. It means so much!!!

Update:

Last I heard, my friend's girlfriend was supposed to be conscious today. He hasn't contacted me yet with what is going on. I don't want to push him yet still offer support to him. A little daunting.

Update:

Referred to a rhuematologist, pain mgmt, and urologist. Had a full panel of blood work including ANA's and a few other things the rheumy would want done.

As odd as this may sound, I really hope my blood work shows something new that wasn't there. I just want some answers and direction on this thing.

Thursday my friend's girlfriend passed away from advanced ephysema and renal failure. Please pray for him as he goes through this struggle. Thanks all

I'm saddened to hear that. Praying for him.

I figured rather than starting a new thread I would just do some updates here.

As far as the medical goes I'm still waiting for a rheumatologist to call me so they can start doing additional tests. At this point they are leaning to auto-immune disorder. Which while I don't want it, it would be a relief to have some answers.

Going more to another area is needing the help of a good psychiatrist. I'm about 90% sure of having bipolar disorder and on medication for it but I need it switched up. All the doctors I've called don't take my insurance so still looking. The problem is that my symptoms in that regard have gotten worse with more hypomanic episodes, hallucinations and impulse problems.

I know that this is probably a bit of a touchy subject (and I'm in therapy too so that parts covered) but some prayer that I'll keep myself safe through this would be appreciated and that I'll find a doctor who can give me the right medicine.

Oh, on a side note, my friend who lost his girlfriend is doing okay. Still grieving but I know the prayers have and are helping him have the strength to get through. Thanks again for praying for him

Thanks all!
