hiya people.

As most know, I had a heart transplant a little over a year ago. Since then I haven't had any major setbacks. Only one period of rejection and some intermittent period of decreased heart functions.

Well I came in almost three weeks ago in an acute state of congestive heart failure. I was basically drowning in my on fluids. Well they decided to put me on a 24/7 med called Primocor and it made me feel much better, heart functions started to come up, not much but up. My doctor said that it would be better for me if for a little while I had a long-term IV called a PICC line implanted so I could go home and still get the meds. So they put the PICC in and it gets infected, due to my lowered immune system. They take it out, treated the 3 infections.

But, then all the antibiotics started to take a toll on my kidneys...so now I am in acute renal failure. But, I FEEL fine.

I am just tired, it seems like everyday it's something new. I was supposed to go home today, but because I have so much scar tissue they can't get another PICC line in and they can't use contrasting xray dye to see a better vein because of my kidneys.

I am usually pretty upbeat naturally, but I just acknowledge right that I need a little help staying uber-positive. I just ask for a small word of prayer.

Prayers up, you are covered in the blood of Jesus...remember I love you:angel2:
 



Prayers up and stay up. You have a beautiful spirit and you are a lovely lady. Now fight so we can all get together on October the 4th. Jag/Tiger..:ebrow:
 
I will do and will pass the message to Bro. Thomas Gage. Stay strong, remain encouraged and remain Covered by His Blood.

:angel2:
 
SR. You have been in my thoughts. Even though I don't know you personally, when I woke up yesterday morning my spirit thought about you.

I know GOD is a healing GOD and I prayed for you so know right now that your body is healed. I read the book of JOB and it places on my heart to stand upright and leave all control to GOD.

Your spirit seems to be lifted up based on your threads, so know GOD has already told you to trust and lean on him.

Claim victory as I am doing the same
 
REDD: God is bigger than that PICC line, the Renal Failure and the dye! God is watching over you and pray for your strength and recovery!
 
I know you don't know me, but we have a mutual friend here on this board, and if you need anything I will let him know to let me know. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Like someone wrote earlier, GOD is bigger than this! :angel2:

Please continue to petition God with your request and turn ALL of your cares over to Him. We Glorify Him when we acknowledge that all of our strength resides in Him.

2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Living Bible (for clarity)
2 Corinthians 12:9 Each time he said, ``No. But I am with you; that is all you need. My power shows up best in weak people.'' Now I am glad to boast about how weak I am; I am glad to be a living demonstration of Christ's power, instead of showing off my own power and abilities.

My prayers are with you.

Good Day and God Bless
 
Psalm 34:19 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all."

1 Peter 2:24 "Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness-- by whose stripes you were healed."

Psalm 103:2-3 "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who heals all thy diseases"

Psalm 107:19-20 "Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

I am praying for you my friend..
 



I can truly relate to what you're going through. My 7 year old son has congenital heart disease and will have his 4th heart operation tomorrow morning at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. His twin sister checked out to be 100% healthy. He was born with the disease and I never cried in front of my dad until I saw needles in his head and tubes all over his body and he was only 1 week old. The reason for the needles in the head was because his veins were too small in his limbs and they poked him several times but were not successful. I made several attempts to be strong but wept like a baby in front of my dad. My son was doing good until his oxygen dropped but God willing they will fix the problem monday morning. If God calls him home then I'm cool with that as well because we belong to Him, and not ourselves.

I felt compelled to briefly share that story with you. I just want to let you know you're not alone and I'll be praying for you to have a strong recovery.
 
Jesus. Sometimes, you just have to softly say, "Jesus." I'm praying for God's healing to swiftly sweep over you: mind, body, & spirit. For He is the ONLY one who can heal all our infirmities. Call Him (be specific,) Stand on His word & give them BACK to Him (for He watches over His word [the Bible] to PERFORM IT,) & praise Him regardless of how you feel or what the doctors say(God is MOVED by our Praise of Him - for WHO HE IS & His excellence, power, & dominion, love, goodness, and faithfulness.) Stay positive, even if the tears flow & remember who's in control. Make your mind up now to Enjoy every day!


Psalm 42
For the director of music. A maskil of the Sons of Korah.

1 A deer longs for streams of water. God, I long for you in the same way.
2 I am thirsty for God. I am thirsty for the living God. When can I go and meet with him?
3 My tears have been my food day and night. All day long people say to me, "Where is your God?"
4 When I remember what has happened, I tell God all of my troubles. I remember how I used to walk along with the crowd of worshipers. I led them to the house of God. We shouted with joy and gave thanks as we went to the holy feast.
5 My spirit, why are you so sad? Why are you so upset deep down inside me? Put your hope in God. Once again I will have reason to praise him. He is my Savior and
6 my God. My spirit is very sad deep down inside me. So I will remember you here where the Jordan River begins. I will remember you here on the Hermon mountains and on Mount Mizar.
7 You have sent wave upon wave of trouble over me. It roars down on me like a waterfall. All of your waves and breakers have rolled over me.
8 During the day the Lord sends his love to me. During the night I sing about him. I say a prayer to the God who gives me life.
9 I say to God my Rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I go around in sorrow? Why am I beaten down by my enemies?"
10 My body suffers deadly pain as my enemies make fun of me. All day long they say to me, "Where is your God?"
11 My spirit, why are you so sad? Why are you so upset deep down inside me? Put your hope in God. Once again I will have reason to praise him. He is my Savior and my God.
 
Simply Redd:

My apologies for checking in so late on this thread, but BT has been on the go the entire day.

I just want you to know that I, along with the posters above ^^^, are praying with and for you!
We are lifting you up to God Almighty! The God who can do anything but fail! The same God that performed
all of the miracles of old and even miracles present day. It is with that in mind that I call on Him as
JEHOVAH-RAPHA.........Exodus 15:26 = meaning "The Lord our healer".
I also call on Him as EL-ELYON..............Genesis 14:17-20,Isaiah 14:13-14
meaning "The most high God".

So, get your spirits up, Redd; It is already alright! We have you covered in prayer.

In Jesus Name, Amen!

Thank you! I just pray all is well with Redd. I'm sure God has a purpose for both of them. The most important thing is they're both Christians and they both know who to seek in time of trouble. May God bless them both!
