I like how TriciaCT has humbly asked for prayer. I will ask the same.
Found out today I have gastritis and am awaiting a biopsy. It's actually a relief to know it's not in my mind or just stress.
Best thoughts and wishes for you. "Gastritis" simply means stomach inflammation and can be a direct result of stress. But it definitely isn't confined to your head!! I know from personal experience after getting a lot of runaround. The magic solution --for me-- was taking an aluminum hydroxide-based antacid until it healed. (A kind Indian doctor suggested it.) This may not be for you but I thought I should mention it.

So relieved and happy your brother is ok! ? Yes, please remind us when it gets closer to your procedure time. Thank you Lovendures for reminding us of that.
Yes our tribe is awesome! The other day when I was not feeling well, and I didn't attend the meditation, Dee told me everyone sent me healing. I felt it 20 minutes into the meditation! the intense pain from my ear infection pulsing on a nerve in my head went away!
Much love and light to you all! ?
Hi all - an update and two new requests.
Derek is still holding his own. Not getting worse, but not improving yet, either. So, please keep him in the light.
My niece is having liver surgery as we speak to remove some benign tumors. The surgery is 3-4 hours long and she will be in the hospital for 5-7 days. Praying for a smooth surgery and complication-free recovery for her.
Additionally, I found out late last night that a college friend of mine, Brian, (whom I casually keep in touch with a few times a year) was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor last fall, had surgery, and is now bedridden and in hospice. I am totally shocked. A friend on his FB page shared a Go Fund Me last night. I don't have more details than that, so I would appreciate if you can keep him in the light and send any prayers for his healing, comfort, etc. He lives with his Mom and so any love you can send her way would be great. I am sure this has been immensely difficult for her as well. Thank you all. And, as always, I continue to pray for all the intentions on this list.
May Derek gain the upper hand in his war with Covid. May he well and truly heal. May blessings, light and comfort pour over him and all who love and care for him.
May your niece’s surgery be successful and her complete healing be swift!
May Brian’s remaining days be filled with love and comfort. May his body be comfortable and his passing easy. May his mother feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, in her deep grief.
❤️
I'm sending healing love and light to Brian, his mom, Derek and your niece. I'm also sending it to you, since this is a lot for you all at once.
Unfortunately, it's been my life experience that when something happens (sickness or death) it seems to happen in "3's".
Prayers and Angels to assist... ?
Just an update:
My niece's surgery went well and she is resting at home now.
My friend Brian's brain tumor has grown and it doesn't sound like things are good. He is a college friend and I only keep in touch a couple times a year via message, so I don't have much more detail. But please keep him and his family in your good thoughts for healing (if possible) and peace, regardless.
My friend Cyndi's husband Derek - this situation is nuts, but unfortunately is happening all over the country. He is still considered critical (has what will probably be long-term lung and possibly heart damage.) However, he is in a small hospital in Florida and they are *discharging* anyone with COVID not on a ventilator because they need the space. He is at their daughter's house (hospital bed, oxygen) and poor Cyndi has to monitor him herself round-the-clock with specific instructions as to when to call 911. They were visiting their daughter and so they do not have out-of-state insurance coverage, so she can't even get home health set up because of the out-of-pocket costs are too much. It is heartbreaking, the whole situation. Assuming he doesn't get worse, they have to stay there for 3-4 months before he is stable enough to travel home via car. Again, this is a friend with whom I am not in regular contact, so this info is from her updates on FB. But please keep them in good light and thoughts for strength and guidance as they move forward. Thank you all!
