My dad is having his galbladder removed surgically July 18th.

My Uncle Wayne is getting a biospy. He may have prostate cancer.

My cousion Brain is in the hospital very ill. The doctors broke up some gall stones and they clumped and clogged his uretha so he cannot pass any fluids, and he cannot pass these stones. He is heavily medicated and sedated, still in terrible pain.

My cousion Diana has a bad shoulder that she cannot even move. Doctors will attempt to fix the problem by breaking her shoulder and resetting it.

My mother is experiencing severe chronic muscle pain all over. She stopped taking the cholestrol medication and the pain went away for a time, but its back.

My aunt Maryanne is a train wreck of health problems mostly from her intestines, stomach, and liver and broken ankle and back problems.

Your prayers will be deeply appreciated, thank you.

Update on Brian:
He has a severe infection. The stones are causing infection.. but, they can't take the stones out until the infection leaves. So, I guess he is home on anti biotics and pain pills.
Here Am I
Sorry to hear that so many in your family are experiencing health-related problems. Will be praying.

Father, I ask that you use these afflictipons to draw these people to you. If they don't know you, draw them unto salvation. If they know you, draw them closer. I also ask that you bring wisdom and healing, according to your wisdom, that will result in praise and thanksgiving unto you. It is in Jesus name we pray, amen

My Dad is staying with me at my apartment right now because he is going in for his surgery tommorow to remove the galbladder. He goes in a 7:45 and will not be finished until 5pm. I'm praying he'll be all right.
Rose
I will be praying for your father, that the Lord guides the surgeon's hands and that your father recovers quickly. I know how frustrating it is to have all these family issues, but God will take care of them. Hugs, Rose

Thank you, Rose and I just got word that my cousion Brain with the gall stones is back in the hospital with a 103 temp...oh this is too much; GOD shoulder these burdens!
Rose
Always something. I will keep praying that one at a time, one day at a time, each one heals and recovers quickly, as the Lord cares for us all and wishes none of us to suffer. Have faith, I will be thinking of you and Brian now especially! Be strong in the Lord and be steadfast. They WILL Prevail over Satan's will for them. GOD's WILL be DONE! Amen!

Goodness squirrel, you sure know how to save up on prayer requests *smile*

Your dads galbladder: nowadays they can remove those by laparoscopy (a small opening with a long hollow rod through which they can do surgery, like when they look in a knee). He should be home the same day or the next, due to the minimal incision.

Uncle Wayne: the biospy (nice typo!) the biopsy is normally inspected during op, and if cancer, it will be removed in the same procedure (if not than the docs make it easy and greedy on themselves, so you may have to ask for it).

Cousin Brian: you typed gall stones but probably meant bladder stones, right? when they are infected, yes the infection has to go first. Does he now have a catheder? If he did not have the infection prior to the docs breaking up the stones, than the medical procedure is the cause of the infection, plus the fact that they probably did a bad job on breaking up the stones, for normally he would have the remnants passed by now. Tell them that, so that they will be careful, it usually helps putting the docs on guard and be less sloppy.
Once the infection is gone, they will have to break them up further. There is also a prcedure that vibrates the stones till they crush, with ultrasound. I do not know if your hospital has such an apparatus, or somewhere in your region. It is the most painless and less invasive way, but it depends on the type of stones.

Cousin Diana: frozen shoulder, break/reset may be necessary if the cause of the freezing is in misalignment of the bones. Make sure that the cause is not caused by torn ligaments, for that would require a different operation. Ask the docs to make sure.

Mother: severe chronic muscle pain all over the body. That points to a systemic dysfunction, possibly neurological, especially since stopping the cholesterol meds seem to have a temporary effect on the condition. She may have to be examined for peripheral neurological dysfunctions. Insist on closer examination.

Aunt Maryanne: the information is not specific enough to give advice on.

Of course I will pray for your whole family for complete healing. Your dad, uncle Wayne and cousin Brain should be fine in not too long a time, if the docs do their job PROPERLY. Your mom, insist on examination of the cause of the muscle pains.
Dear Father, will you keep an eye on these docs, or if You feel like it, beat the docs to their jobs and provide healing for our squirrels family?

In prayer, regarding your dad, Wayne and Brian I heard: peanuts.
Your mom should watch her diet and make sure she eats enough omega-3 and omega-6 fats (look on internet, fish is a good source. salmon is a river fish and often is healthier than seafish. tuna is also good. there are also plant sources for the omegas).

God Bless You and Your family squirrel!

Here are the peanuts =)

Dad's surgery went well. He is in a lot pain right now and has stitches here and there but at least they got the galbladder out and the huge stone that had been in it for a long time. He can barely walk, so I put a starter in the tractor for him. I'm not so mechcanically inclined but Dad said I did a good job (and I was praying for help because the last thing I want to know is ruin Dad's antique tractor). I'm praying he recovers quickly and doesn't try to do too much too soon.

My Mom's aches is a result of a statin drug she is on. These cholestrol lowering drugs destroy connective tissue and memory so she is going holistic with a regimen the pharmacist reccomended. I might have to go on statins myself if my cholestrol doesn't come down (in spite of good excercise, loosing over 45 pounds, and getting plenty of omega oils, it's still high...I hope I don't have to go on statins and get all the muscle I built with excercise waste away as a result)

Brian is out of the hospital. He is going back soon to break up more stones in the galbladder.

I've not heard back from Diana but I keep asking. Aunt Maryanne is now doing well enough that seems plenty of time at Gilford Lake in her trailer and she is happy there.

Thank you for your prayers! I appreciate it!
Rose
That is awesome!!! I am so happy for your dad and I'm sure you will keep on him to not do too much at one time!

And more good news that was easy to fix for your mom... that is a good thing, hopefully she will be back to normal soon.

AMEN to Brian getting out of the hospital... YAY! I am praying that there will be no more problems after the next round of stones being blasted. I hear that it's painful but if you watch diet and make sure you drink a lot you will be fine.

I will keep praying for the rest of your family and that there will be only GOOD NEWS from this point forward.

PRAYERS ARE FREE, ask ANYTIME! wink.gif I love to pray! Keep us up to date... Hugs, Rose

Thank you, LORD!

My cousin Diana had her shoulder surgery. Now she is moving back to Florida. Her Employer agreed to rehire her as long as she get rehab and she has found a place that will help her and she already rented an apartment, thank you, LORD.

Brian is out of the hospital (thanks to GOD) but returns soon for more surgery

Dad's health is improving and Mom seems to be doing a little better

Thank you, LORD!
