Good morning everyone.....I just got in from staying the night with aunt Marie. Last evening Michele and I went over to visit and to then take uncle Herman back to Country Meadows. When I arrived, aunt Marie did not look good at all....sitting in the chair, slumped........just looking so sad. She started crying, getting very upset, asking why is she still here....."Sylvia, I am so, so weak that I cannot do anything for myself anymore. I am so weak that I can't even pray. Please ask the girls to pray........for me to go home". She really hasn't been eating.........drinking is minimal. She seemed to have really gone downhill from the day before.........each day she declines a bit more. She kept asking why she is still here. I told her that she probably still had things to teach us. Then she felt bad that Michele was there..........she should be home........I should be home...........I explained to her that that is what Michele is going to school for..........to help people who are dying..........I told her that even in her dying she was still teaching. She squeezed my hand. Her oxygen level kept dropping.......getting her in to bed just wipes her out and I assumed that was why.........but her nurse, Sheri, who was so compassionate, was quite concerned. She checked with another nurse........called the doctor. During this time aunt Marie was just saying she wanted to go........and then she said we should go home..........I told her I would stay the night with her so that she wouldn't be alone........she was upset, saying I had to go to work, etc....I told her work could wait. I really did think that this would be the night.........I told her it was okay for her to go home too. I told her so many people were there waiting to see her - she said "I hope so"..... She said "uncle Herman will be okay. I found a nice place for him".....I told her to be sure to fill my dad in on everyone, and to tell uncle Rudy I received the butterfly (while uncle Rudy was dying he told me he would send a sign - shortly after he died - it was 1/13 - a butterfly appeared in our living room) - then aunt Marie asked "was it one or two butterflies"......I told her it was one.......but that our Christmas tree was still up (it was thought that the chrysalis came in on our Christmas tree that year) and aunt Marie shook her head yes. Maybe I overstepped my boundaries, but I did call the rest of the family who all came in. Everyone said their goodbyes and then aunt Marie chased them home. It was just me and uncle Herman. Uncle Herman wanted to stay. So I went down to the waiting area and caught a few winks - gave them some private time. I guess it was about 1230 I went back in....uncle Herman was sleeping.....aunt Marie was wide awake........she was having trouble getting settled...........her shortness of breath seemed intensified...........yet she said it wasn't bad enough to want any medication to help calm her..........she made me giggle......I laid beside her on the bed.........she would drift off, then almost startle herself waking up........she would look over at me and say "am I still breathing?". God love her. She is ready. Quite frequently through the night she wanted a sip of her drink, so I was really glad that we stayed. She seemed really calm and peaceful around 630AM.....poor uncle Herman.........he didn't get much sleep...........both of us "tossed and turned"...........I asked her if it would be okay for me to take uncle Herman back to Country Meadows so that he could get a little bit of rest.........."oh yes, I'll be okay......you just go........really, I’m okay now"...........so I took uncle Herman back........hopefully he is getting some rest..........and now I am going to do the same. Please, please keep praying............for whatever God is waiting for.......... : ) <3 br="">

Sylvia, Could you please add my cousin to the prayer chain? We have been praying for her and she still needs our help. Here is the message my mom sent me. Thanks. Aunt Nancy called again at 11 and said they were transferring her to ICU. She has been having a very bad reaction to the new medicine but now has either cellulitis or MRSA and whatever it is it is progressing rapidly. She needs IV medicines for that plus she is dehydrated from her violent reaction to the new stuff. I told Aunt Nancy I would call her today but don't know when I'll get hold of her since you can't have cell phones on in the hospital. I will let you know as soon as I do.laurie d

A VERY NEAT STORY FROM CAROLE YEAGER:
Hi Syl,
Do you remember when I wrote how upset I was because my friend Louise Wagner passed away? I was shedding a few tears the day before Christmas for several of my friends who were taken home in the last month, then thinking of all my family and the wonderful memories of Christmas pasts, and they are all gone now, then I couldn't stop thinking of Louise. She passed so suddenly. So I went to my email and was quite shocked. There was an email from Louise. When I read it, she had sent this 11/20th and I never received it until 12/24, telling me that she has a new e-mail address and was so happy to be able to send this on because she hadn't been able to get her e-mails for over two weeks. I saved this because no one will think this is real. It took my breathe away. I said O.K. Lord I got the message, she is with you and very happy. What a wonderful feeling it is to have so much faith. Love you, Carole Y

Aunt Marie is back in the hospital.......she's at LVH-Muhlenberg with congestive heart failure, possible pneumonia.....when I went to visit her on Monday she looked terrible.....and so very weak....I called the dr. - told the nurses I was taking her as she's been declining since I was there on Friday - Dr. Ehrig said to bring her in at 445pm - from there aunt Marie was a direct admission. The swelling in her legs has gone down significantly, but she was still so very weak today. Please keep her and uncle Herman in your prayers.

Hello - Please pray for my friend Kelly - her mom was diagnosed with colon cancer a month or so ago... it has gotten worse, and has spread, almost to her lymphs but they are keeping an eye on it and called for intense radiation... 5 hours 5 days a week. Also my room mate Carissa - who is interviewing for a real job, so pray someone hires her! She is bar tending a high class bar now to hold her off. And her grandfather passed away this morning. I don't know if he was sick or anything and haven't heard of anything in the past, I just received a txt from her saying he passed around 1:30am and that she knows he is in a better place. that was it. -- "For the Glory"Meghan R.

Thank you Sylvia. Sorry I couldn't get back to you on that day. LLLOOONNNGGG day. Mom went in prepared and calm (or she always says she's calm but we girls know she stews internally). Her blood pressure was literally OFF THE CHARTS. They got her calmed down and ready at 10:30am and in she went. She could of course feel all the snaking and watch it on the screen and was nervous as they got to the carotid arteries in the neck area and couldn't move. Finally when all said and done, and back in recovery and coming around, was ready to have supper and then they'd send her home. Well, she developed an allergic reaction and not sure if it was from the IV or the dye used....so they are checking on that. She literally was itchy from the inside out and rash all over. Benedryl and ointments and such and finally by Thursday night after being up most all Wed. night, she was calm and restful and plan to turn in early (by 10pm). She had sent my sister that stayed with her (the nurse) home. By Friday morn she sounded much more like her ol' self. She went for blood draw, the 2 doctors are discussing the next stop. The tipsyness is NOT from the left back artery to the brain at 40-50% blocked. The subclavian main from the heart is 80% blocked. The determination will be made this next week as to what to do. Always at holiday time so we're being patient. Mom said she's calm. So keep the good tho'ts please.
Allyson's testing was 4 hrs in a locked down area as they leave all belongings in the main area and are given only paper and pencil upon entering in case they need to work out some math and treatment plans before answering on the computer. She called me about 4:45pm yesterday relieved to be done and hopeful for the scores. She may know by Monday and up to 2 weeks. We are hopeful for the sooner.
Thanks so much for the tho'ts and prayers and we hope your Mom had a great day on Thursday and enjoyed her suprise this weekend.

Hi Everyone,
I returned home from mass today to a phone call I could have never anticipated. Peter Rudegeair, the Catholic psychologist whom I began working for over 2 years ago was killed last night in a car accident. Peter's children range in age from 6-16 and, thank God, his wife is extremely faith-filled. By the grace of God, she was already able to say today that this was his time and part of the Lord's greater plan. Please pray for the repose of Peter's soul and for his wife, Karen, and their children.
Thank you,
In Christ Our Life,
Karen
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Dear Ones,
An old friend who doesn't live in the Lehigh Valley is looking for a good cognitive therapist who is located down this way. He doesn't feel confident in someone from the small town he lives in & would rather head this way to Allentown, Bethlehem,etc. So, I'm looking for some suggestions or referrals if any of you can recommend a good therapist. From what he told me, a cognitive therapist uses talk therapy, not just automatic medication for anxiety or depression. This friend has had some episodes of anxiety/dep over the past 20 years & recognizes his symptoms showing up again, so I'm so pleased he reached out for help. I'd really appreciate any help you can offer about a therapist you know or have heard is good so I can recommend them to him. Thanks so much & God bless.
Love,
Norine
P.S.-Sylvia, would you think Becky might be able to refer someone? As a hospital chaplain, she may hear about, or even meet, some therapists she might think would be good.
MARILYN RESPONDED THAT PERHAPS RICK SHALL WOULD BE GOOD..........BERNIE, DO YOU BY CHANCE HAVE ANY FEEDBACK ON THAT? KAREN R, PERHAPS YOU HAVE A
SUGGESTION? - IS THIS AN AREA OF YOUR EXPERTISE?

Season's Greetings Everyone, With each passing day, we usually, without fail, receive a request to pray for someone or something. All of us take these requests seriously and provide those much needed prayers. As a result these petitions are answered by God for us, in his own special way. Sometimes we receive the answer when we least expect it, other times we watch the answer unfold before our very eyes. Whatever the case, it is all made possible because of those precious moments that we spend praying to God on behalf of others. With that being said, we humbly approach you and ask if you could spare at least one more moment a day for one more prayer for our daughter Megan. Megan has been suffering for the last 3 years with jaw pain, which at times ranges from uncomfortable to excruciating. The causes of this ailment range from a multitude of things including damaged or injured tendons, ligaments, or cartilage disk, arthritis, contracted muscles and pinched nerves, just to name a few. Over the past few years she's been to pain management doctors, oral surgeons and physical therapists with limited results. For the past six months she has been going to a doctor renowned in treating this kind of ailment. We were very hopeful of a positive outcome for Megan as the many other symptoms associated with the jaw pain, such as head aches, neck aches, jaw clicking, and ear pain, were disappearing one at a time. However, in the last 2 months, the treatment has run into an obstacle in that the jaw pain is not going away as the doctor figured it should. This past Tuesday, Megan received her last dose of medicine, injected 6 times directly into the jaw bone and surrounding areas, a definitely painful experience. These injections, coupled with two more weeks of therapy are the last steps of non-invasive treatment. Should this treatment not succeed in removing the pain completely, then the next course of action, based on this doctor's experience, would be surgery on the jaw. We're not sure if that's the right thing to do as there are still other theories and alternatives out there. But we're hoping not to get to that point. And this is where our request for prayer comes in. Would you please pray that the last round of injections coupled with the next few weeks of therapy will be enough to eliminate completely the jaw pain that Megan has had over the past few years? As all of you with children know, there is nothing more painful than to watch one of your children suffer for whatever the reason. We believe that the prayers will not only help Megan, but they will help us too. Thank you, and Merry ChristmasLove and Peace, Marie and Paul

Hi Sylvia, I have a couple of prayer requests to pass along. It hasn't been a good couple of months. In October my friend, Michelle's father passed away. He had been suffering from cancer and it is a blessing that he is no longer in pain. My prayer request is for Michelle. She has been depressed for some time even before her fathers death and it is really bad now. We are helping her but she sure could use some prayer help. In November, one of my bosses died suddenly at the age of 40. It has been a very difficult time for us at the office as we mourn the loss of our friend and try to pick up the pieces. With tax season just around the corner it has added even more stress on all of us. He was a partner who worked 70 hours or more a week during the season. We have all agreed to work extra in light of the situation. Please pray that our office will be able to handle the stress and having to inform so many clients who may not have heard of the news. Last week one of Julia's classmates mother was in a bad car accident. She is the mother of 4 boys the youngest one being 2 months old. She has a lacerated liver and 2 broken legs. Jen is still in the hospital and they say it may be 6 to 8 months before she can walk again. She had to stop breast feeding and isn't able to even see her children every day. The hospital is a good 30 minute drive from here. Please pray that they are able to get through this difficult situation. Some friends of our, Cory and Amber, had a baby girl last week. She was having difficulty breathing so is in the hospital. I heard she may come home today. On Monday their 5 year old boy had a stroke. It affected his left side. They believe he will recover with little side affects. However, they have no idea what caused it or if there are any other issues. Last I heard they were still running some tests. I cannot image having 2 children in the hospital at the same time. They also have another boy, I cannot remember his age but he is young. As you can see, we are in desperate need of some prayers. I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart and know the family do also. Thank you.

For those for you who have been looking for a Peter update/Christmas Miracle to share with your prayer partners and congregations...try this one on for size. We just received an e-mail from Peter's oncologist in NY that he considers him a 100% cure from his Rhabdomyosarcoma!
If you ask Peter what Dr. Wexler say's about him he says, "I'm a miracle" "All my bad cells are gone forever"
"I'm cured"
Oh beautiful star of Bethlehem shine on!

I have periodically asked prayers for a woman named Peggy who lives in St. Louis MO and is undergoing treatment for cancer.....the original prayer request was received from Bock quite some time back....this is what Peggy wrote yesterday.....thought you would all find it such a "GODincident" as Mrs. G. says, or God sighting as Nina P would say.....It also brought back the very special memory of a moment I had at the grocery store just after my brother Stephen's accident.....I would ask strangers on the street to pray for Stephen.....I probably shared this story before, so forgive my repeating it.....standing at the deli counter.....next to me was a mom and her three children who were in their school uniforms - I told them about Stephen and asked if they would pray for him.....well this mom asked if I would mind that they pray with me at that moment............so right there at the deli counter this mom and her children put their hands on me and prayed out loud for Stephen's complete healing....I will never forget it. <3>
My mom is going in on Friday for kidney stones to be removed. There's two and one apparently is large and not in a good location. She's 80 now and getting very fragile. Pray my dad does well thru out this. He's getting more confused everyday and forgetful. He's very scared. Thanks Bev

Hi Syl,
Please pass on a couple of prayer requests. Joe Petrella, who had 2 strokes and is paralyzed on one side. He is a fellow Serran. Also for Joe Hartmans brother in law, who had a colonoscopy last week, and worried about results. Thank you so much. I don't remember if I said thank you for the offer to pick me up for the prayer group xmas party. My older daughter had a very bad abcess in her mouth, that went down her throat. She was unable to chew or swollow pills . I didn't want to leave her alone. I had to make sure her breathing was not restricked overnight. If its not one thing its another, but God is always there for us. Thank you for passing on my PR's. Love you, Carole Y.

THIS UPDATE ON AUNT NELL IS FROM OUR UNCLE STEVE WHO LIVES IN MICHIGAN
Steve Pituch
Hi,
--There is sill no improvement in your Nell's condition. She continues to struggle with the breathing and is some discomfort. When Larry and I visit, she is somewhat sleepy in that they have to give her something to ease the pain. While we were there today, they gave her Vicodin and Xanax. Earlier they gave her some Tylenol and it does remove any stressful condition. We just have to be patient because they have confidence that she is getting stronger. They keep mittens on her hands to keep her from trying to pull out the tube.
On last Friday, December 7th, she was transferred from St. Joseph Hospital in Ann Arbor to the Farmington Health Care Center, 34225 Grand River Ave, Farmington, Mi. 48335 Room #213-1. This is about 7 mile from my house compared to Ann Arbor that is 28 miles away.
It appears that they could only keep her at the Specialty Hospital until a certain plateau was reached and Nell must have accomplished that. Now, she is still on the ventilator and the intent is to wean her from machine so they could remove the tube and get her to breathing on her own. So far, she has only been breathing on her own for about 12 hours and then has difficulty continuing on. She must be free of the machine for 48 hours before she can have the tube removed. As of now, she is not close. She just can't seem to get strong enough yet but we are continuing to pray for her recovery. Love, Steve

Hi Loves,
Renee called late this evening asking for prayers for her friend, Christine Bramson, for whom we prayed in the past for her twins, then for her son who got malaria shortly upon arriving in Africa. She's taking her medical boards tomorrow, as well as Suzy's hubby. By the way, this last trip to Malawi was supposed to be long term; they were having a house built for themselves, their children and the nanny/teacher, and the religious organization head (christian missionary) decided he wanted his own friend in that house, so after moving family and belongings to Malawi, they were left without a job and housing. Christine and Brian are both doctors doing missionary work. I forgot to ask Renee for an update on whether they found work in another area. More later.
My niece Michele Ball said the rest of the breast tumor was removed, and she will start chemo in Jan. She's home, and feels o.k. and hopeful.
Also, please pray for my co-worker who lost her key ring with lots of important keys on it. Thanks. M

Please keep Stacey and her family in your prayers....
Dear Mary,
Thank you so much for the prayers and for the time that you took to email me and share Stacey's intercession to so many people. I am sorry to say that Stacey and Joey's son, John Christian was born a few weeks ago, was baptized immediately and died shortly after his birth. The family chose to keep the news private until he had been buried and they had time to mourn his loss. Stacey is heading to the doctor soon and finding out the status of her own battle with cancer. She returned to her chemo/treatment shortly after John's birth and can always use prayers as she faces this next hurdle. I am very confident that the family would appreciate continued prayer and condolences.
Please keep up the prayers for this family.
Peace - Erin

Would you please ask people to pray for our friend's baby "KG". She was diagnosed with "cow's milk colitis" or a severe milk protein allergy. Mom is being very careful with her diet so she can continue breastfeeding, but the baby is still having problems. Seems that the tiniest bit of milk can make her sick. She'd need a very special, very expensive type of formula if Mom chooses to stop breastfeeding. Please pray for healing for KG & wisdom for her parents as they decide if they should switch to formula. Thank you for your prayers. Much love, Cheryl

For a homebound school project Katherine is keeping track on a map of all of her guest book entries. Here is a copy of the email from her mom:
I have no idea if someone else has already thought of this already but this is the plan for us. Katherine will read the Guestbook entries in her website journal regularly....she loves doing that. I am going to get a big plain map for her and she will post where everyone lives who writes to her. Sort of like the Flat Stanley project you know? Anyway, when I spoke to her teacher yesterday we talked about somehow working her website into a school assignment. This way she learns about all the people who love and support her and where they live and any other interesting facts about those places. I thought it would also help with the first question she asked me when I told her that she had brain cancer. That question was, "Will I be famous?" Kids are amazing aren't they??So, if you would like to help us with this project, please post on her website! Thanks for your help and we pray everynight for all the families whose lives have been touched by this 'stupid cancer' (quoting Katherine).Laurie m/o Katherinewww.caringbridge.org/visit/katherinebarnard
Can you please send this out to our list so we can get her as many as possible!
Thanks!

Hi Sylvia and Carolyn,
Could you please pray for a special intention today?
Spread the word, if possible, to other prayer warriors.
Thanks and I'll give you follow-up tomorrow.
Love,

Please pray for Lori and Tim and their family. Lori gave birth to twins yesterday and their little boy is having breathing and blood sugar problems. Her little girl is fine. They asked for our prayers so that all turns out well.

Dear Ones,
I was under the impression that my sister Sheila had landed safely with her cat, Dudley, in San Antonio yesterday but I just spoke with her. She had gotten very ill on the plane & passed out, hitting her head & jaw. She has stitches in her jaw now & a large hematoma on her forehead, as well as a nasty concussion. She was taken to the ER when they landed & she was there until after midnight while they did an EKG, CAT scan, etc. She has no idea what made her get so sick with diarrhea on the plane, but it probably led to dehydration & her blood pressure, which is abnormally low anyway, plummeted & she passed out. She's very weak & hurting a lot so she's at her son Chris' house where he can monitor her with the concussion. She sounds terrible & wants prayers for herself & for Dudley, too, who after the flight was dumped off at his house & is alone, poor baby. So, please pass Sheila's name along on prayer lines & say some good ones yourselves, prayer warriors. Many thanks & God bless.
Love,
Norine

My grandmother was admitted to the hospital on Friday night after having yet another fall and being extremely confused.....this is all related to her recurrent bladder infection. We just received
a call saying that someone needs to pick her up.....that she's being discharged. My mom had just walked in the door after sitting with her for a few hours today and mom is shocked that grandma
is being discharged. Mom was told that since she was able to walk 140 feet without falling she's ready to go. Linda is picking her up. Please say a prayer that her guardian angels surround her
and that these bladder infections clear!!!
Also..........update on aunt Marie and uncle Herman. They are doing okay......aunt Marie's legs are pretty swollen from fluid build up and uncle Herman seemed to be coughing a little bit more
today, but other than that they are stable. Thanks for the continued prayers! <3>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a really good news update!!!! Please continue to pray for Charlotte's complete healing. <3 href="mailto:AET1955@aol.com" title="mailto:AET1955@aol.com">AET1955@aol.com <AET1955@aol.com>
THE SCAN WAS CLEAR!!!!!! The brain was clear and the spine still shows exactly the same as the last 3 or 4 scans, they believe that is scar tissue. They will do a spinal tap on Thursday just to make sure there is no cancer cells left in the fluid.
They are discussing wether or not to put her on a preventive chemo,since most have some kind after radiation.
Will update on the spinal tap results when Sherry gets them next Monday.
Thank you God for the blessing!

PLEASE PRAY FOR MEGHAN'S WORK SITUATION..........

SylviaPlease pray for my aunt Peggy and Uncle Myles. They are both in their 80s, and uncle Myles will be hospitalized next week for rectal cancer. As far as I know, they have never been apart, and he will spend about 5-7 days in the hospital. They have no children, so we are trying to rally together and help them through this. Aunt Peggy is not in good health, and I could see the fear in her eyes @ the doctor today. Surgery is scheduled for 12/6. Also, please pray for a few special intentions. Thanks Maggie
*****************************************************************************************************************************Louise Wagner who Carole speaks of in her request below was indeed a ray of sunshine. I first met her when Michele took a sign language course and she was the instructor - what a neat, neat woman. So as Carole reminds us................I myself would like to thank each of you for being such a special part of my life. <3 href="mailto:Cmycross@aol.com" title="mailto:Cmycross@aol.com">Cmycross@aol.com <Cmycross@aol.com>
Good morning everyone,
How do people live without God's presence in their lives? The Lord has been so good to me. He brought me through so many traumas in my life, the loss of family, friends and so many illnesses, He has given me the strength to accept His will always and to help me to comfort others who have gone through as much in their lives. He has taught me to give of myself through volunteering to help others and gain the love and peace that this offers. Today I ask for your remembrance of one of the most remarkable women I was gifted to enter into my life. Louise Wagner. Louise went home to the Lord on 11/26. She was born of two deaf parents and dedicated much of her life to teaching sign language to anyone who wanted or needed her services. She was such a true friend to Girl Scouting as well as so many other organizations. I never saw Louise without a smile on her face. She brought so much sunshine, love and friendship into my life. I will miss my daily e-mails of joy from her. Think of your special friends as you read this and call them to let them know how much you treasure their gift of friendship. And the prayers I ask for are for her family and friends who will have a difficult time missing her. She is surely with the Lord and I'm sure reaching out to help already As I was sitting her with tears running down my cheeks, I feel her laughing saying where's the smile. Laugh and enjoy life. So I will laugh every time I think of her and thank her for being one of those angels God gifts us with. Have a day filled with blessings and take the time to see them as gifts from the Lord. Carole Yeager

Dear Sylvia,
This prayer request is from my precious friend whose grandaughter was born with her intestines outside her body, and many, many other areas which weren't placed properly. Her dear little hips and legs, and gosh, too many things to mention.
She has had several surgeries already, but today is the big one.
Thanks so much for passing this on.
Love,
Leslie

By the time I send this, our little Cheyenne will be in the operating room with three surgeons who will make a multitude of changes in her tiny body. Pray for steady hands, sharp minds, and peace of mind for her parents who love her so much and must bear the interminable wait. We don't expect to hear results until evening. It will be a long day. May God keep her tucked in the palm of his hand.
Pam
Cheyenne – November 30, 2007
No bigger than her dolly
Our little one
Who still can't crawl
But climbs with ease
The mountains
That are part
Of her existence.
No bigger than her lamb
Our little one who still can't speak
But tells with ease
The story
That is part
Of her creation.
No bigger than her Daddy's arm
Our little one
Who nestles in
And trusts
That all is well
In her small world.
No bigger than her Mommy's heart
Our little one
Miraculous
Whose spirit
Shines so brightly
Revealing her Creator.
Far bigger than she'll ever know
Our little one
Who's innocence
Inspires us all
To say a prayer
This special day.
6:58pm ....I just received this latest update as I was preparing to send out the PR:
For those of you who don't follow the CarePage, here is an update. At about noon, the anesthesiologist became concerned about Cheyenne's oxygen levels and the decision was made to stop operating for today. The ortho surgeon managed to complete her pelvic reconstruction, but the rest of the surgeries will have to wait until tests are run to determine the cause of the problem. Please continue to keep Dan, Crystal, and Cheyenne in your prayers as they wait for healing and a decision about the next steps.
Thanks.
Pam

another prayer request....
We just received this e-mail from Victor's cousin who lives in TN......her dad is uncle Steve from MI (for those who have met him over 4th of July) - please keep this situation in your prayers.
Has Uncle Victor or my Dad told you about my Mom? She had a heart attack October 20th, and actually died for about a minute in the ER. They later discovered she also had pneumonia. She's been on a respirator since the attack, and was sent to a Specialty Hospital that is part of St. Joseph's in Ann Arbor, Mi. to be weaned off early in November. So far, she hasn't been off for more than 12 hours. When my Dad visited her last night she was off, but I don't know yet if she's still off or had to go back on. (My Dad e-mails updates to me every night, and I haven't heard from him yet.) My Dad loses his health insurance December 31st because the company he worked for is cancelling all retirees. Insurance paid $100,000 for her care before she even got transferred to the Specialty Hospital. Eee-gads! I don't know what he'll do without coverage! I'd appreciate it if you could remember them in your prayers.
Love, Kathryn

UPDATE 11/22/2007
May you all have a most beautiful Thanksgiving Day. For those whose precious loved ones have passed, please know that you especially are in our prayers this day. If you find yourself alone today, please know that you can join us at 2pm for Thanksgiving dinner.

Hello everyone......Happy Thanksgiving! I ask you to please remember my very special friend Becky in your prayers. She's been going through a lot lately.....her dad recently passed away, she became ill and was unable to fly to TX for his funeral......one thing after the other.....now this. Becky has a very strong faith, but as we all know, being human, when it seems that it does not stop it's hard. Pray that something will work out for her. Thanks. <3>

Hi Sylvia, Could you please add two intentions to the prayer chain?
Jim Arnold, brother-in-law of Deacon Dom Amadeo will have surgery for advanced colon cancer tomorrow morning at 7 AM and Jane Habel DRE at St. Jerome's in Tamaqua was admitted to the hospital last night with problem with her defibrillator. Please pray for good outcomes for both.
Thanks,
Maureen

STILL LOOKING FOR ANYONE WHO MIGHT KNOW OF SOMEONE IN SPRINGFIELD, MO!! - one of my patients is from OK and is trying to make contact with one of his friends in MO, so pray that at least will work out.....and continue prayers for Ed (seriously injured in construction accident) and his wife Jenny.

Greetings, Dear Ones! Please all be praying for our precious Charlotte, who had the proton therapy in TX & will have her MRI tomorrow to see if it eliminated the cancer. Also, little one-year-old Meghan Norris, who has medullablastoma like Charlotte, is having brain surgery tomorrow, so both of these little girls & their families need special prayers in the next week. Thanks so much & God bless. Love, Norine

John sees Dr. Kluck on 11/27 to see whether the CardioSeal (through the arteries to the heart - not through the chest) is an option for him to close the hole in his heart.
Michelle is taking Jezzy to her vet tomorrow to see about Jezzy's cough. Please pray for a good solution to that entire problem - that someone will take her. Also for my co-worker Terri's 14 year old toy poodle's surgery on a mammary tumor. And for Terri's special intention.
My sister Margie's bro-in-law, Jack in CA is responding to chemo and radiation, but still has many treatments remaining.
My bro-in-law, Dick Ball's cat scan was good.
My niece, Michele Ball, goes for her surgery on Fri.11/23. I have not heard the results of the MRI to see how extensive her breast cancer is, so I guess those results will determine what procedure happens on the 23rd - a lumpectomy or mastectomy.
We have a dear Jewish friend, Ann Rosenblum, in our family, and her daughter-in-law, Valerie, is having tingling in her hands and feet. She asked us to pray for her. Val is catholic and Ann's son, Jonathan, is jewish. They have twins who are studying for 1st communion, I think, and Ann helps them with their prayers, because my dear mother gave her all kinds of prayer cards, booklets, etc., and when the kids say "but you're jewish - how do you know these prayers?" Ann says "I had a very good teacher"... my mother and my sister, Helene, who was one of her best friends.
One of my special intentions has been answered, but now I have another.
Lorraine's friend Renee has a son hooked on drugs. Renee and her husband are going to do an intervention this thanksgiving weekend, so pray for their emotional health and safety. Her other friend, Linda's husband lost his job many months ago, has been depressed, his mother died two hours after their daughter was married, and they chose not to tell the daughter until she returned this week and she's mad that her grandmother died and was buried already. But the good news there is that Linda's husband's employer called and said they will hire him back in about a month.
My Renee's friend Rocio, in NC, lost her wedding band, which she made herself, along with her husband's. I'm praying to St. Anthony for that one.
I think that's all. Can someone print this out to take to Carol's, and give her my love. Love, Marilyn

A few of the children I follow through the ChemoAngels, etc..., their parents have organized a group "Band of Parents" ....they are raising awareness and money for children with cancer.
I thought I would pass along their latest fundraiser....

Hi Syl,
We need prayers. Gene's brother Ed was hurt this morning on a construction site in Springfield Missouri. We do not have a whole lot of information at the moment. This is what we have heard, Ed was on a scissor lift and there was control malfuntion, his upper body was crushed, both lungs collapsed and all the ribs on the left side are broken, he also had internal bleeding. He is out of surgery, the doctors had to remove part of his left lung. He is currently in ICU on a respirator. He is awake and we heard that he has asked for pen and paper. His wife is on her way and will be in Springfield sometime tonight.
Gene's mom is staying with the kids, they have 2 boys. I will send updates as soon as I hear more.
Thanks,
Teresa
Dear PGPG:
Rick.....thanks SO much!.....would you please be able to include Vincent's part of the letter so that people know what to donate (DVDs, etc)? Thanks!
Also, another one to add............sadly, with cancer. Parker Lutz is 5 yrs old and lives in Macungie. His website is:
http://www.carepages.com/ServeCarePage?cpn=ParkerLutz1&seed=806672&ClusterNodeID=jb03&tlcx1=default
or http://www.carepages.org/ parkerlutz is the "password"
Parker also has Neuroblastoma - in fact Vincent Patriarco has helped Parker along the journey. Well Parker's family received dreaded news this past week - the tumor has now grown in to his liver. Things are not good. This family really needs our prayers. at 610-360-6873.
Thank you for your donation,

DVD AND ELECTRONIC GAME DRIVE
Do you have any gently used children's DVDs that are no longer watched, or electronic games that are no longer used? Or would you like to donate a new DVD for sick children to view in the hospital during diagnostics or long stays? Or a new or gently used electronic game for them to play?
My name is Vincent Patriarco, a sixth grade student at St. Thomas More School and I am doing this service project as a member of St. Thomas More Boy Scout Troop 439. This drive will benefit sick children in local and Philadelphia hospitals. Having faced cancer myself, I know how much these DVDs and electronic games are needed, appreciated, and enjoyed.
The DVDs should be targeted for ages 3-16 years old and should be in their original cases. Children's programs, young family-type movies, animal adventures, and nature adventures are most liked. General audience and PG are most desired, but PG-13 rating would be considered if appropriate.
"E" games, new or gently used, for PlayStation 1 and 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Xbox 360 game systems are also being collected. The hospitals have these systems available for their patients. New and gently used handheld electronic games like Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS (with chargers), as well as "E" rated games, would also be very much appreciated.
A collection box for these DVDs and games will be located in the vestibule of the church or in the school foyer through November 19th.
If you have any questions, you may contact me at vincequest@aol.com with "DVD/Electronic Game Drive" in the subject line, or at 610-360-6873.
Thank you for your donation,
Vince Patricarco

FIRST Post: 7/2/2007
Below is an e-mail that Meghan received from her former Penn State roommate, Amanda. Katie was also their roommate the year before last and then went to live in Hershey as she was a nursing student and doing her rotation at Hershey Medical Center. Katie took a semester off and was living with her dad in Buffalo. She was at Meghan's graduation and it was so good to give her a hug in person and I spent quite a long time talking with her. Please keep Katie and her family, and her friends, - most especially the "YA YAs" (there were eight of them that lived together these past four years and that is what they were known as!).
amm451@psu.edu
It seems like this week can't possibly get any better. I don't know if any of you have talked to Katie Duncan but she got in touch with me today to inform me that Katie Smith got into a horrible car accident this morning. They found her at 5am. Her car flipped about 5-7 times. The investigators think that Katie hit a pipe or a drain and the road was wet. I am not sure of the details of the accident but we do know that Katie was wearing a seatbelt (thank god!). Anyways, Katie Duncan informed me of Katie's condition and this is all we know so far: The c-6 and c-7 disks in her vertebrate are dislocated and pinched her spinal cord. The spinal cord is bruised but it does not seem to be too badly damaged. Her lungs are bruised so the doctors have her on a ventilator and her spleen is bleeding which will have to be removed. Katie is unconscious right now but that is due to medications to help her heal and right now Katie is paralyzed from the shoulders down. The doctors plan on weaning her off the medication that is keeping her unconscious and as the swelling goes down then they will be able to determine how paralyzed she really is. So there is hope that Katie will be a lot better off than what it looks right now but we won't know till the swelling goes down and she heals. This accident occurred up in Buffalo and Katie Duncan didn't have any contact/mailing information as of yet. I will keep you all updated as I get information. I love you girls dearly! Please be safe and always wear your seatbelt. Pray for Katie she needs us more now than ever!
Love Always,
Amanda

UPDATE ON MR SPAGNOLETTE
Karen S. Poshefko <poshefko@ptd.net>
Hi all,
My dad was about the same yesterday. The PT said he did well in his morning rehab session, but less so in the afternoon. When I got to GS aroud 4, he was in a lot of pain. This is to be expected, as the muscles in his neck were cut during surgery to access his vertebrae. The policy at GS is that he has to ask for pain meds, which he doesn't like to take. So, we had a discussion with his nurse and with him - they will offer him the meds and we encouraged him to take them regularly. The vertigo is still a problem and he's on meds for that too.
We're still not sure about a discharge date, and we're getting mixed signals on this. I spoke to his case manager yesterday and told her that having dad come home in a wheelchair is not an option. I told her there is no way my mom is going to be able to push him around. She said he should be "relatively independent" when he comes home, so a wheelchair shouldn't be needed. My dad is still very weak and is on a lot of meds. He's walking in therapy, but when they take him to the bathroom - which is about 10 ft. from his bed - they use a wheelchair. He needs help transferring from the bed to the chair. So, on one hand, they say he won't go home till he's ready, but on the other, there's still talk about him coming home next week. This is causing us, particularly my mom, a lot of stress. I've talked to the case manager about help at home. She said that's an option but we should wait till his discharge date gets closer.
Sorry I haven't been replying to all your notes individually, so here are responses to some of your questions. Not sure what's happening with the person who hit my dad. The policeman who responded on the scene told me in the ER that the woman who hit my dad was not injured. FYI - according PA law, my dad's insurance company will go after her company for the value of my dad's car, but not for reimbursement of medical expenses. So, you may want to check your auto insurance policy and make sure you have enough coverage. As for visiting, we're holding off till my dad gets home and is feeling better. His time at GS is devoted to therapy and rest. He hasn't been sleeping at night, so he naps when he can.
THANK YOU for all the cards, prayers, offers of transportation, etc. I'll be in touch.
Love,
Karen

UNCLE HERMAN UPDATE: He is still in the hospital - still having a little difficulty breathing and cousin Tara thought his speech was a little slurred - a CT scan of the brain and also of his leg which has been giving him some trouble will be done tomorrow. Tara is going to check in to see about having him transferred to the Lehigh Valley - it would certainly be more convenient for aunt Marie. Please pray for my cousins Tara and Kurt who have been a Godsend this past weekend - Michele's best friend Lauren was married yesterday and Michele was the maid of honor - Kurt reassured us we should stay put and enjoy the wedding and he would take care of things - today Tara flew in from NC to help.
