Dear Ones in Christ,

Our daughter Lora, had to be taken by ambulance to the Hospital, in serious condition. Her husband called and asked if one of us could come immediately to watch over the grandchildren, because Lora needed to go to the hospital. She was complaining of chest and stomach pains. This was just after 6 a.m this morning. Ed left and should be there soon; I called to see, the ambulance was taking her to hospital and her husband Roland was to follow her as soon as my husband arrived.

Please pray for her, she has had heart problems in the past, ask God will heal her and bring her back to her family...I'm sorry I'm beside myself at the moment. I'm praying and crying at the same time. My husband just called and said he is with the girls, and her husband left for the hospital.
I will get back to you as soon as I know more.

Thank you and God Bless!

Valerie

Oh no, isn't this the same daughter who fell a while back? I'll be praying for her and your family for quick treatment and comfort.

Valerie, when I read this the Holy Spirit reminded me of the verse that says, "underneath are the EVERLASTING ARMS". I couldn't remember it all so I looked it up and here it is:

Deuteronomy 33:26-28
There is none like God, O Jeshurun [Israel], Who rides through the heavens to your help and in His majestic glory through the skies. The eternal God is your refuge and dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms; He drove the enemy before you and thrust them out, saying, Destroy! And Israel dwells in safety, the fountain of Jacob alone in a land of grain and new wine; yes, His heavens drop dew.
Deuteronomy 33:25-29

Praying for Lora's complete recovery and wholeness in Jesus' name. For you Valerie, and those who love her, remember God's promise - "the ETERNAL GOD is your refuge and dwelling place, and underneath are the EVERLASTING ARMS"

Praying for your daughter...and know that like Aaron and Moses..we are holding your arms up in this trying and tiring time for you and your family..please post as soon as you know something..

God is good and His mercies endure forever..

Valerie, on another thread I have just posted Mark's new video and it is so encouraging and timely for the crisis you are facing. I just know that God is carrying you through this time. Love, prayers, and blessings upon blessings to you and your loved ones dear Val.

I am reposting it here especially for you.

Valerie,

I hope 'n' pray that your daughter, Lora, gets well "very" soon. I too, will be praying for her quick recovery.

I also hope that this hymn-"Leaning on the Everlasting Arms" cheers you up too...



FAIR USE FOR INFORMATION & DISCUSSION PURPOSES!

Stephanie, Texas Sue, Sandy, & Tammy, Thank you, Thank you so much for your prayers and your kind words of comfort. I know Lora could feel the prayers, I know I do. God is good, I'm trusting
God to see her through, and heal her from whatever is the cause of her pain.

I heard from my husband Ed and he said, that her husband called him at their home, stating they immediately put her on morphine because of the severe pain, and they basically ruled out her heart as the cause of her excruciating pain. They are still doing several tests on her, mentioning it might be something left behind from her gallbladder surgery she had, or the liver, but they are only speculating, until, more tests and results come in. They said, there is nothing definite as yet.

I'm am at peace right now, tired and worn out, but at peace that surpasses all understanding, as I continue to wait for further word. I hope they diagnosis her correctly, and she gets the right treatment, surgery or whatever is necessary to help her recover. Better still, that God miraculously heals her without surgery, and makes her whole...Please have mercy Lord.

Please continue to pray for her, she's a young mother with two girls who love her so much, and depend on their Mom, being there for them, at all times.

Thank you Texas Sue for the awesome video, and thank you too Tammy.

Will update as soon as I know more.

I believe prayer can move mountains, therefore, we take all things in prayer to God!

God Bless!

Valerie

Another update:

I just received more information, Lora called from the emergency room and spoke with me for a couple of minutes to ease my mind. She said that the doctors are saying that the liver is inflamed and they believe it is infected by a virus or, that there are liver stones stuck somewhere in the ducts, that are causing the pain or maybe both. They have to confirm it and waiting for blood work to come back. They are checking her vital signs frequently.

They said if that's the case, they are going to try and treat it with medication first, and keep her in hospital, to see, if, when they stop the morphine, the pain will be gone with the meds. If not other measures will have to be taken. It all depends, upon the blood work, and if the medication relieves her pain or not. If most of the pain is gone, that will mean the stones have pass through the duct, if there is still pain means the stones are still stuck and they'll have to handle it differently. Apparently her friend Diane, had gone through similar situation after her gallbladder surgery, and ended up in emergency in hospital.

She seems to be stable with the morphine, at the moment and very weak and tired. I'm glad she called...thanks be to God. Waiting for the final results to be confirmed, as well as the treatment.

Thanks be to God, for helping her through this trial, and thanks to all whom are continuing to keep her in your prayers.

God Bless!

Valerie, sorry i'm late. i just read this thread. praying with others for you, your daughter & for her family also to have peace. love to you, regina

Thank you Regina, for your prayers and words of comfort.
Lora thanks each and everyone of you for your prayers, which are holding her up through this trial.

The latest update, Lora has been admitted to the hospital and has a room now.
The waiting list from the emergency department to get a room takes some time,
as there are plenty of beds, but not enough nurses to take care of the patients.

The specialist & surgeon in the field, of Liver, stone problems etc., saw her,
and thought it was best to book her in the hospital, and observe her closely, before, they decide what to do. She finally has a room and a nurse to look after her. He mentioned another test of putting a tube down into the liver ducts to see if there is an obstruction by stones. Her liver enzines are high, and she definitely has an infection in her liver which is inflamed; therefore, the doctor put her on antibiotics, and some other meds, which I can't remember, and are continuing to give her morphine for the pain as well.

My husband arrived back home around after 4:30pm after spending the whole day
with the granddaughters, he was exhausted, because he had very little sleep the night before, and got to their home just after 7:00am to look after them
so Roland could leave to the hospital to stay with Lora. Thank God, our precious daughter-in-law Gloria, & our Son Paul, came down to relive Ed., and will stay over night. Paul needs to go to work, but Gloria has taken the day off since she is self employed, to help with the children.

We've spoken to Lora, as she has called, and we assured her not to worry about anything, just focus on getting better. We're hoping to visit her tomorrow in hospital, if she is up to it, she'll let us know.

It's been a long, long, Thursday, but your prayers lifting up Lora and our family have helped us get through. Praying, that whatever treatment, etc. they decide on, will help rid of this painful situation.

Thank you again, & God Bless!

Valerie

I'm so sorry dear Valerie. praying for your daughter and the rest of the family.

Thanks Heidi,

I spoke to her on the phone this morning, she sounded very weak and tired.
Said she saw two doctors this morning who were going to do an endoscopy, and a mri was mentioned, because she is still having pain in that area. She is still on intravenous drip, and morphine drip as well. Her husband and children went to see her this morning, and Ed and I will go down in the evening, all depending if she is up for a visit, after the tests.

Please continue you to keep her in your prayers, she not out of the woods as yet, hoping to get this problem resolved very soon.

God Bless!

Valerie

Valerie, I will continue praying for Lora and her family.
God bless

Valerie, how is Lora? Have they found a solution to her situation? Please keep us updated as we all are expecting God to do great things for her. God bless!

She had the endoscopy done, and everything turned out alright, now she has to have the other test down by a specialist on the liver and the ducts, she'll know when on Monday. She is stable, and her pain is controlled. Apparently only 3 doctors are know to do this procedure, and they are waiting on the doctor, they believe it is liver stones in the ducts, and it is a very delicate procedure to remove them.

Will let you know more when I find out. Thanks for asking!

God Bless!

Valerie
