I'm not meaning to butt in here and it's been one heck of a long time since I posted last but...I could use a few prayers myself.

Recently I was diagnosed with 2 different blood clotting disorders after having 2 back to back miscarriages. I am almost 13 weeks pregnant with my 5th pregnancy (and hopefully 3rd living child!) and it will most likely be my last.
At any rate, I am scared that i will lose this baby as well even though I am on extra vitamins and blood thinners for my clotting disorders. I've been praying like crazy already (and asking for the intercession of several saints!) but I and my family could always use more. Thank you guys!

Feed the pregnancy with good thoughts and so will we

Btw, both Alexander and Arianna must be quite big by now!

*hugs* I'll be praying many prayers for a safe pregnancy for yourself and for the baby, and for some calm in the midst of this stress.

My aunt has passed away

Thank you for your prayers.
She did go on for a little longer - but early this afternoon she died peacefully in her sleep.

She rests with Jesus now - but there is still a certain sadness for us who are now without her ...

I'm sorry.
Glad to hear your aunt went in peace though.

Thank you.
Yes, they say she was dozing (which she had been doing most of the time for the last couple of days) and then just went.
I wasn't with her, but someone she knew from the staff was there. I believe she might not have noticed the difference, just that someone familiar was around. I had meant to visit her again this afternoon.
Yesterday I was with her for a long time - her brother had come to visit as well, and another of her nieces/my cousins. She couldn't really speak, but she smiled at us, and we had a good time together. A very nice memory - such a happy-to-see-you smile ...

Varnafinde,

Sorry for loss which is always hard, but glad for your faith, which helps but doesn't make it emotionally easier by necessity.

May Light perpetual shine upon your Aunt and give her Peace.
May the grace of Christ our Saviour, and the Father's boundless love, with the Holy Spirit's favor, enfold you all from above. Amen.

Please say a prayer for my mom. She came down with a very sudden earache this evening, and when she went in to see the doctor she was told that her ear was a little bit red but it was nothing major. When she got home she said her ear popped really hard a couple of times and now she has clear liquid draining out... she feels pretty horrible right now, and she's apparently in a fair bit of discomfort (although not total pain it seems like).

I dunno what it is, and I'm a little worried for her because she has been so stressed out and whatnot lately. :-/ I'm taking her back in to see the doctor again tomorrow morning.
