This is a pic of my 18 year old DD shopping for her graduation dress two weeks ago. She is battling bipolar with near constant mania and it is aiding an eating disorder. She weighs 82 pounds. She is seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist, but we haven't seen much improvement. I am quite scared. I too have a dd with an eating disorder couples with anxiety. It is very difficult and I find people understand less about that than most mental disorders (which most people don’t understand either) and I am tired of comments of ‘just make her eat.’ Does she have a nutritionist? I have found dd does much better when seeing her therapist, medical doctor, and her nutritionist. She went away to college last fall and was doing really well until she stopped seeing her nutritionist (she kept bringing in students to dd’s sessions which made dd very uncomfortable) and eating went downhill. Dh and I have decided that a condition of us continuing to pay for college is her seeing all three regularly again. Unfortunately she is now 18 and that limits what we (dh and I) can control. ETA: by control I refer to not being able to talk to her medical team, make her go to appointments, etc. Yes we do see a nutritionist. My DD is going to take a few classes at the community college to help prepare her for the electrician exam. She wants to continue to live at home. I have told her that a condition of being able to live at home is that she must continue to see these medical specialists and she must take her medication. |

I just found out from my parents that their best friend ("Uncle" D to us) was attacked in the nursing home/memory care floor where he lives. He's 73yo and has a bit of dementia. Someone in the next room came in during the night and punched Uncle Don in the face, knocked him down, and left him in a pool of blood. I don't know how long he was lying there before a nurse finally came in. He has broken bones in his face, and the nursing home isn't being helpful at all. One of the kids has called a lawyer to help. His wife just had surgery for breast cancer, and now this! I can't imagine how scared he must have been! 3 of the 4 kids live near their parents, so he has support close by. I've known Uncle D and Aunt S for over 40 years.
Thanks for your prayers!

Great idea. Thank you. Will pray for all above and will check in often.
Please keep my friend Abigail in your prayers--depression, possible eating disorder, and self-harm tendencies.
My two friends, Jill and Kim, for cancer. Both are undergoing treatments which have been with horrendous side-effects.
Thank you!

Good Heavens! Our smallish town (1200) has lost 3 cancer patients - one funeral was Saturday, the other 2 passed away yesterday. All 3 had close ties with a friend of mine, who deals with her own fairly significant medical issues. Everyone is struggling. I just found out from my parents that their best friend ("Uncle" D to us) was attacked in the nursing home/memory care floor where he lives. He's 73yo and has a bit of dementia.

Can you please add me to the prayer list. A few weeks ago, I had my routine mammogram, and a lump was found. After a number of follow-up appointments, I now have an appointment Monday to discuss my surgery and futher treatment. The biopsy shows it is a G1 tumor, which isn't bad, as tumors go, but it is still cancer. Well, drat! You've had more than your share, dear sueg. I pray for good things for you. |

May I ask for prayers for Michelle and Briana. Michelle is a executive assistant in DH office, and Briana is her teenage daughter (and a summer intern). Michelle was struck in the head by a stray bullet yesterday, driving her daughter home. We are so grateful she is expected to make a full recovery, but it's just so f*cking hard when we both lost friends in the 1 October concert massacre. And now this...It just never ends.

What a thoughtful and postive idea for a thread.
Peas, please add my middle dd, Hannah, to your prayer list if you are able. For her privacy I don’t what to go into specifics, but she is dealing with many challenges and has been so unhappy for awhile and it breaks my heart. She is high functioning with an autism
Diagnosis but her sensory issues and depression and some other things are really difficult for her now and she isn’t seeing a lot of hope for improvements. Thank you. ❤️

Just an update and additional prayers requested for my friend’s daughter that was hit by the car. She has had a bumpy road but they are planning on putting in a feeding tube today and doing surgery on her pelvis and sacroiliac. It is tricky because she has to lie flat and when they have tried before, her inter-cranial pressure (ICP) skyrocketed, very bad. So here is hoping and praying they can succeed and that her ICP stays in the normal range.
Thank you for praying.

I would like to add another family to my prayer request. I spent some time today catching up with a friend that I haven't seen in a while. I was completely blown away by the long, devastating story she shared about what her family has been experiencing over the last few months. It is heartbreaking in the extreme, and has torn their family apart. I do not feel comfortable sharing any details at this time. But they needs your prayers for comfort and strength, and so they can begin to heal.

61redhead - I'm sorry I am just seeing this so I will add your friend and their family to my prayers. I have a good update on my friend's daughter - Rylee is breathing on her own and responding to some small commands - after almost a month in ICU, they moved her to a regular room today - that is such good news. Her mom took a selfie with her and when she did, Rylee actually opened her eyes and made the "duck" face - which she does in EVERY selfie she takes. It just made my heart jump for joy!! It looked so bleak there for a while but now I feel like she may be on her way. She does have brain damage but we still don't know the full extent of it. Thank you so, so much for the prayers - I know that is how she has made it this far.

Baby Avery passed away this morning. My heart breaks for her family and all who loved her. She touched a lot of lives in her 4 month on earth. Thank you for your prayers, and if you can, her family still needs prayers for devine comfort. Thanks, Peas.
