I wanted to ask if you would please pray for my sister, Helen. She lives in Lubbock, TX. I just heard that she is in the hospital..So I would really appreciate it if you would remember her in prayer.
Thank you!
Kathy :)

Thank you Margo...They are pretty sure she has lung cancer..but she is in surgery right now they are opening a "window" to her heart to drain fluid..she is very sick...God's will be done!
Kathy

Kathy, I will keep your Sister in prayer. I know, Gods will is always done. But, I like to pray for the people and the family to have Gods comfort during this hard time.
In His Love,
Marlene

Thank you all for praying...My sister made it through her surgery..The doctors removed the pericardial sac that surrounds the heart..her heart had so much fluid around it it could barely pump! Once they get her heart out of immediate danger they can decide what to do about the lungs...the mass in her lung is what caused the fluid build up in the heart, if there is cancer in any of the tissue or fluid they removed then the prognosis will not be good :'( so please continue praying...I was able to share with one of my sister's daughters that God is in control and He is the one who decides when we live and when we die. So I would ask that you pray for me as well so that I can give them all hope and share what a good and loving Father God we have! :)

Kathy,
I pray that God gives you the words or wisdom needed to comfort and heal the spiritually blind. God has done so much of that for me lately and even death can't overshadow the Glories that God works through us and in us in our daily lives. Whatever the prognosis for you sister, I pray the suffering is minimal for her and her family.
Love in Christ,
Eileen

Hi Kathy,
Sorry for the late response, read your followup Post and hope things go Well for your Sister. My Prayers go out in Her behalf. Whatever eventually happens after Her Surgery, hope She doesn't suffer too much physical pain, :(.
Kind Regards, Samson.

Thank you for praying for my family..There is a chance that I may be going to Lubbock in the next few days..my sister was in A Fib yesterday and they could not get her heart rhythm to stabilize. they finally determined that she was dehydrated and gave her fluids which brought her heart rate down..she is in very bad shape...so if things do not improve significantly in the next day or two we will be going..
Now I know that God is in control of all of this...but I am going to need some strength and wisdom if we have to go...So please pray that God will give me the right words to say to all of my family...I want to be a comfort to them more than anything else...So if you would pray that over me I would appreciate it very much!
Kathy :)
I just heard bad news from my niece...the pulmonologist has said he's surprised my sister's still alive...he's giving her 6 months at the most...I told my niece that only God says how long we have to live...so please pray for my sister's daughters they are so sad....
-
I've been so busy I haven't taken time to update about my sister..I have been trying to keep my facebook up to date so thanks to all of you who have been encouraging me there! My sister is in a very bad situation right now...she is stable at the moment, but this could change all according to God's plan of course..
She had a thoracentesis done yesterday morning and they drained 1 liter of fluid from her lung! ..her heart rate is near normal now and her breathing is improving..she is not in pain right now...So thank God for that!
We are hoping that her condition will stabilize a little more for the next few days..her daughter that lives here near me is in nursing school and in a very crucial place at the end of her schooling...so I wanted to ask you all if you will pray for enough time for my niece to get through at least this week of school before we have to go to Lubbock..
There is no diagnosis of lung cancer yet...none of the pathology is back yet, but maybe today...the pulminologist said he would consider it a miracle if my sister lives another 6 months to a year! BUT I have told my family only God knows how much longer on this earth she has!! Pray also for me that I will be a comfort in some way to my nieces and their families and to my brothers and sisters..we are a bit scattered around and we are having to help each other make the trips necessary to get to Lubbock...
You guys don't know how much you mean to me..you have been such a part of my life for the last 2 years that I can't imagine my life without you!! You have prayed and stood with me through many tears and joys and there is no way to thank you for that!! I love you all dearly!! :)
Kathy :-*

For those of you who are praying for Helen, Kathy just messaged me and told me that they have now diagnosed cancer in Helen.
Please continue to pray for Kathy and her family. They NEED our prayers.

Thanks Jonathan for posting for me...This has been a very trying day! I have been stuck to my cell phone all day..My niece in Lubbock has been updating me and texting me so fast I hardly have time to answer and pass the news along to the rest of my family!
So far, we now know that the cancer is in her white blood cells..there are no reports back from the heart and lung pathology yet...the pulminologist did tell them Sat that he feels sure she has stage 4 lung cancer he's almost positive...
Helen is in good spirits and wanting to go home..so they just want to keep her positive...I have been praying that God will give me words when I need them, and silence when that is best...I have been able to gently slip in truth to their sorrowing hearts...and I will say whatever God enables me to say. My sister's 3 daughters and I are very good friends, and I need to be able to look them in the eye and tell them that we have an awesome Father God no matter the outcome here!
I need strength, wisdom and love enough to help them through this time...so I ask God to keep me focused while grieving for my nieces, my brothers and sisters and that, if it is what I must do, I will be able to say good-bye to my sister in a way that will bring hope to all the rest of my family...
There is always hope in the Lord!
Kathy :)

Kathy asked me to post this on her behalf.
Helen's cancer is in the lungs, the lining of her heart, the blood, and in the brain. So Kathy and a number of family members are heading to Lubbock, Texas to be with her.
I ask you to please continue to keep all of these people in your prayers.
Thank you!

Kathy has asked me to pass along the news. Helen passed away at 3:40 this afternoon. From the reports I've been hearing, I believe she went peacefully.
I'll let Kathy fill you in more when she gets the opportunity.
Thank you for praying, everyone!

I'm so sorry for your loss Kathy. This certainly hasn't been easy for you and it's come upon you like a whirlwind. I pray that God would give you and your family the peace that passes all understanding and although I realize that you know this is all part of the plan it doesn't make the loss any easier or lesson the grief at all. God be with you and comfort you.
-
Kathy, I am so sorry.
Sending love, Margo

Kathy,
My sympathies to you and your family for your loss. I am continuing to pray for you.

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear this news. I will keep you and all concerned in prayer. Everytime, I hear this news I think, how all of us in here have been blessed to know truths that most of the world does not know. I am sure you are a blessing to all of your Sisters family.
In His Love,

I want to thank all of you for your prayers and thoughts...You will never know how much you mean to me!! Thank you, Jonathan for posting for me..My sister passed away quietly and peacefully. I have to tell you that my sister was remarkable to the very end..she had specific things she wanted to say to us and her main message for everyone was Please don't smoke and if you do, QUIT!! She made us laugh so much telling us stories of when we were kids..she was 12 years older than I am so she had lots of stories..at one point the night before she died we were standing around I was on the other side of the room and I said, "Helen is a lot older than me!" she raised up in the bed, pointed at me and said, "I heard that!" causing a room full of laughter! That's the kind of person she was..she was a person who loved to laugh. Several times she would tell a story and drift off for a few seconds in mid sentence...then she's wake up and say, "Anyway,..." and pick up right where she left off! that was incredible for a woman who was in her shape! You'd have liked her! AND she would have liked all of you because you are all so sweet to me!!
God bless all of you, my beautiful brothers and sisters! How I love you!
Kathy ;)
