Prayers Needed

Hi everyone. If any of you have time could you please say a prayer or two for someone very special in my life that wont be with us much longer.

My cousin Roy who was raised with me as a brother is in the hospital and has Acute Myeloid Leukemia. His immune system has shut down, his right kidney is no longer working as it is eat up with the cancer and he has been running temps of 104+ nightly. Doctors says he wont be with us long. Just hope he makes it to his birthday on Thursday.

Anyhow prayers that he will not suffer to much more would be very much appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

I have not been able to even go visit him yet due to my bad foot and a cold that I caught. Cant be around him with the cold so the doctors say. And now the car is in the shop and no way to get there! But I have been talking to him via phone.

Oh Meme love, Im sooo sorry....lots of prayers winging their way to you and him..... :angel2:

Prayers of peace going out to both of you, Meme.

My mother died of cancer, so I know the sorrow, and heaviness that you feel. It's so hard to watch a loved one slowly slip away and be powerless to stop it.


my love and prayers go out to you and Roy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Roy.

Ditto what AP said. The helplessness is the hardest part.

Will you get to see him at all? I mean, if you wear a breathing mask and all, how can it hurt? And it would be so nice for both of you to see each other.

Speaking as a Catholic now (and you might not be one), I will ask for special intercession from Mary because she also watched a loved one suffer and she will understand. (Mary does not answer prayer, but as we believe saints are with God and closer to Him than the rest of us on earth, we can ask them to pray with us.)

Thanks everyone for the prayers. And yes I will get to see him one way or another. Cold/virus or whatever it was is getting better. And I will just go up in my slipper as I cant wear shoes yet...lol. But may have to rent a car to do so but will try to spend his b-day with him. Sunlion....yes I am catholic also..smile.

Positive thoughts an prayers are with you and Roy!!

I am a catholic too and will be praying for you. You can also register on a forum where you can request prayers. The web address is www.catholic.org. There are some wonderful people who understand your pain. Tomorrow is the feast of the Virgin of Guadalupe and will be praying to her.

I just want to add my prayers to you and Roy.
Having a loved one ill and in the hospital during the holidays is especially difficult.

I am so sorry to hear about Roy...and yes, I will say a big prayer for him, and for you, during this really hard time.
My thoughts are with you.
We are here for you.

My thoughts and prayers are with Roy for a peaceful journey and for his loved ones to find comfort.

Meme - I too am praying for you and Roy.

Thank you everyone. You are all so very sweet!!!

Hugs to all of you!

My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time. I lost my father to AML last year. It's not an easy thing to deal with.

Just wanted to stop in and tell everyone that the prayers must be helping! Roy has not run a fever over 101 in 2 days now. They did find a blockage in his kidney but we dont know yet what or if anything will/can be done to correct that. The specialist will be in later today. But for now at least he is feeling a bit better.

Thanks to everyone for their prayers. Everyones concern, prayers and sweetness has really touched me.

MeMe,

I'm so sorry for you, Roy and your family. I have never had someone close to me with a fatal disease so I can't seem to find the words to say but my thoughts are with all of you! It's not fair that people and families have to go through this (especially this time of year).
