Asking for your prayers
« on: June 06, 2010, 04:51:19 pm »
Hello everyone,

I am still in the Watch and Wait mode, going into 4th year for my AN, but need to have an Angiogram for my brain Aneurysm. That will be done June 17th
and ask for your prayers to come through this unscaithed. There is risk involved, but with my strong faith and your prayers, all will be fine.
Thank-you in advance and may all of your Blessings be many.

Jackie,
I will definitely keep you in my prayers for all those little boogers growing in your brain and for a successful angiogram. You have a lot to deal with and your faith will get you through. I hope the brain aneurysm hasn't grown or changed. Is that operable if need be?
Prayers and peace to you, ;)
