Actually Tomorrow and Wednesday is when I need lots of prayers said for daughter.

She has Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome, she has an extra electrical wire from the top noid to the bottom noid of her heart and they have to catherterize her heart and albate the extra wire. It's a simple procedure, but it's still my daughters heart!!! This is the same daughter that had the car accident in Nov and has been in constant pain, she was diganosed with Fibromyalgia last week. So for a 17 year old she has had alot to endure. She is very strong and has a great faith.

Her father is coming for the procedure, and I need prayers to be successful in dealing with him and being the person that I need to be.

MB has been so important to me and I feel that I have made some great friends here. I miss not speaking with all of you on a regular basis like we did when this was all so fresh to us!!!

I thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers for both my daughter and myself.

Love,
Dawn <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I'll pray to. My son had surgery on both his eyes when he was only 3-1/2. I know what it is like to need and want the prayers of your friends. And, at that time, his dad became very verbally abusive. I could not sit in the child's room with the dad during the surgery. And the nurses forgot to tell the doctor where they had hid me. I had to go hunting for news. Hope all goes well - on all fronts tomorrow.

Dear Dawn,
I pray all goes well with your daughters surgery. I know it may be stressful with your ex-h there, but you both love your daughter, so i'm sure it will all go well.
God bless.

You and your daughter have been through a lot and you can get through this. Maybe your common love and concern for your daughter will help in some small way to heal the pain with your exH. I'll send prayers your way, L

Dawn,

My prayers are with your daughter and family. I have a 17 YO D as well and know how concerned a Mom can be.

Someone recently suggested that I read the 23rd Psalm and also the 91st & that seems appropriate right now.

Will also pray for the Doctor(s) and all of the medical staff.

God Bless,

D.

Dawn,

You and your daughter will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. I too have a 17 year old daughter, my youngest.

Your daughter sounds like a remarkable young woman who has endured an awful lot. God will be with you, I'm sure of that.

God Bless.

God bless you and your family in this difficult time. I suggest taking a simple child's prayer book along too. While it may be difficult to concentrate on the bible passages, simple prayers are easy to say, and can provide words for those visiting with you in this difficult time too.

Thinking of you... and sending my thoughts and prayers your way.

If you need to, just ignore your H. What's most important is that YOU are there FOR YOUR DAUGHTER! The rest of the world, IMO, is quite irrelevant for the next short while.

Luv ya!

Dear Dawn,
Just a note before heading for home. So sorry to hear about your daughter. You and she will definitely be in my prayers.

My computer is still out at home....need a new hard drive.

Lots of weird interactions with my ex lately....could use some advice--but will have to wait until I get a computer.

Take care--you have been through so much---I will be praying for you. Pat

Thanks all, tomorrow will be a tough day to say the least, your thoughts will help.

xH showed up a while ago, OD and S are at work and class, YD is home, but dad can't even set down and visit for a few minutes, needs to go checkin to hotel, asked if he wanted YD to go with, "No you stay here" It about crushed her!!!! How stupid is this man? Something must of shown on her face as he changed his mind real quickly. Why is it that he does this? It's like he isn't comfortable, I've never meant for him to be uncomfortable in our house, he was comfortable before he was married, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmis it him or her that is uncomfortable?

As Pastor and I spoke to night, the Lord will take care of my daughter and all things that I allow him to take care of for me, I just have to remember to give them up!!!!

Good night all, tomorrow will be an early day!!! and a long one at that!!!

Just got home!! A long day indeed!!!

Daughter is fine, was a 6 hour procedure. She had two extra electrical wires in her heart not just one!!!

Was ok sitting with x for those 6 hours. Pastor and I prayed for peace this morning when he stopped to see daughter. Tried being real nice and engage x is conversation, didn't go for it so just sat and read, kind of the long car rides we use to take!!!

Have a good night all, am off to bed. Daughter will get out sometime tomorrow afternoon, x is staying with her overnight.
