I need your help.... :pray:

My favorite aunt has been diagnosed with cancer in her lung. The fluid has been drained several times but she is now in the emergency room with a collapsed lung which we are praying will re-inflate when the fluids are drained. She called my mom to ask everyone double their prayers that she will be ok.

I am asking everyone who is the praying type to please ask our Lord to heal her. She is the sole provider for my cousin who was nearly killed in a car accident when he was a child. Although he survived he suffered severe brain damage and is more like a 17 year old in a 35 year old man's body. He can't sustain full time employment and he can't take care of himself without being taken advantage of since he is too trusting. My aunt is his sole provider and without her he will not survive.

The prayers and proactive measures she has been taking have been working as the tumor has NOT attached itself to the lung even after 8 weeks since its discovery. But she is in serious jeopardy now with the collapsed lung.

Thank you in advance for your prayers and requests for divine intervention. Kamala

I'm sorry to hear about this, and will throw it out to the Universe to be kind to your Aunt's health, the way she has been with her son these many years. If she's as strong as the other ladies in your family, she'll pull through with ease.

Of course, having met a couple peeps in your family, I know your cousin will be well looked after if the need arises!

I hope and pray that your aunt comes through this OK. I've had lung cancer in my family and it isn't pleasant.

Dear Kamala, I hope you can find a quiet moment to feel the upwelling of prayful support from your cyber family for both you and your conventional family through such a sad and trying time. Knowing that this is all part of life is obviously no comfort, yet an unavoidable fact. :tears:

However, the tragedy of your aunt's illness is balanced by her life of selfless devotion, especially to her precious son. I also pray for Divine Guidance regarding his future. :angel2:

Thank you all again...please say another round...they have to operate AGAIN...this time to remove a blood clot and its a very dangerous operation. She is only 85 pounds so they fear she is not strong enough to survive the surgery.

PLEASE add another round of prayers...I know they are helping...we need to make it thru this next battle. :tears:
