Little Beaky was blue-lighted to hospital yesterday with severe breathing difficulties- he even stopped breathing at one hideous point.
He and his mum got NO sleep last night. He apparently has a nasty chest infection and is on IV fluids and antibiotics.
They are understandably exhausted!
I am off to work now feeling somewhat anxious......
I'm having a hard time, and I'm being clobbered on all sides with decisions to be made about various life-changing matters. I thank God for the many friends who have stepped forward, but I am overwhelmed right now. (Lord, if I could just walk again easily...)
For (((Ross))), for learning how to handle the wheelchair, and for her to work out some help from her daughters.
For Gamma Gamaliel and his wife.
For Bishops Finger to be able to get to those appointments without a struggle.
For Nicole’s E.
For the Beakies, for Baby Beaky and for Mom Beaky and for calm for MrsBeaky.
For Ross to be able to walk again easily. For wisdom about the various decisions.
For Piers’ continued recovery.
Apparently a team is going to unwrap and examine the Telemum’s leg today. Not sure what that means but it sounds like a decision point. All she wants is to get better, home and get back to how she was before. Please?
<votive> For the Telefamily
<votive> For all named here
<votive> For the repose of the soul of Sheila, of my cancer support group. She didn't believe she had one; I hope she has been pleasantly surprised.
Please pray for the convocation of the Episcopal Church in Europe...we are voting for a new Bishop in charge. At the moment we have had 5 ballots...more tomorrow. May the Holy Spirit inspire and move us forward in the name of God to discern his will for the convocation.
My BIL died peacefully in his sleep a few hours ago from the gangrene and another infection caused by the diabetes. He was suffering from end stages of mesothelioma. My sister M , is very upset as is his daughter,K.
Please pray for Mark Edington, Bishop elect of the Convocation of the Episcopal Church in Europe, and also for the three unsuccessful candidates. We remembered the diocese of Arizona in our prayers this morning: may both our Bishop elects be truly blessed in their new missions.
<votive> for Lothlorien's BIL and family. If death was at last peaceful, that is something of a blessing, no?
Meanwhile, <votive> for all on this thread, especially those for whom future life is looking rather difficult. I think of B. and T., members of (or related to) the little family-sized congregation at Our Place, both of whom have been diagnosed with terminal cancer, together with G., a young mum with cerebral palsy, recently operated on yet again to help her walk better.
Also, maybe a prayer hoisted for me? Nothing ghastly, but increasing pain/weakness in the Episcopal Legs, perhaps due to spinal claudication, but subject to tests, scans etc. at a London hospital over the next few weeks. Please God, help me to walk again without too much pain....

Thank you for remembering Arizona -- the election will be later today. I shall remember +Mark (and the other candidates) in my own prayers.
I was praying for various people on this thread today while I was digging potatoes, gathering apples, chopping down old foliage before winter and doing other jobs that very occasionally made me say "Ooh, my back!" I don't know how I would cope with what some for you are going through, so I pray for you.
For the Beakies, and for continuing recovery for B.
For the convocation of the Episcopal Church in Europe. For Mark Edington, and also for the three unsuccessful candidates.
For the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona.
Thanks MaryLouise.
For B. and T., for (however unlikely) healing. For G., for improved walking.
For healing in the Episcopal Legs and/or spine. For BF to be able to walk again without pain, stat.
For relief of back pain for Cathscats.
For any unspoken needs too.
Okay the Telemum continues to progress, however slowly. Begging for healing here, sooner than possible.
Meanwhile my hardware components have arrived, I’m only like 3 weeks late and counting with assembling them, and TODAY I was testing my spare pair of noise-cancelling headphones because a patient with a noisy and ever-present family has moved into the next bed and it’s raised her blood pressure, and I didn’t hear the doorbell ring, and one of the walking frames I ordered for her homecoming was not delivered and they won’t leave it with a neighbour because it’s a medical product. (On the plus side, the noise-cancelling headphones still work.) This means that instead of heading off to the lab early tomorrow morning I have to crouch at the letterbox peering out continuously until any time up to 9pm. And if it arrives late enough I will then have to visit the Telemum instead of going to work straight away, because I won’t be able to visit her on Tuesday because on Tuesday I really, definitely, definitively, without fail am REALLY going to the lab to have a blitz on this hardware AREN’T I?!?
Also, I’ve been baiting the Finance-Monster this month AND this was the month I was hoping to save up to do $IMPORTANT_THING.
I just got back from the funeral of Daniel, the husband of Elizabeth, a special friend of mine. He developed dementia about five years ago, and has deteriorated steadily ever since, both mentally and physically. He has been very sweet-tempered during this time and Elizabeth has been patient and loving. They were married for a very long time. There is a big hole in Elizabeth's life. Please pray.
<votive> Thank you, Lord, for Telepath's ministry of prayer, and for allowing the rest of us to support that. Please help all on her list, and especially pay attention to her requests for herself and her family.
When my mum died, after about 15-20 years of progressive dementia (during which Dad looked after her, and then visited her faithfully in hospital for the last ten years of her life), you could almost see the hole that was left in his life. I hope Elizabeth will be able to have a bit of "life" with family and friends, and won't feel that her raison d'être has gone.
Those on the Aged Parent thread will know my nonagenarian mother is under anesthetic and the surgeon's knife right now ... all prayer appreciated though I'm sure all will be most well
Please pray for Fr A who is in a hospital with concerns about his heart. If he could be granted a calm state of mind I suspect it will help both his health and his well being.
