Concerned about my sister's health

Postby Rogie » Fri Jun 24, 2005 10:03 pm

Hey, everyone. Please pray for my sister. She's been having trouble breathing and/or catching her breath for the past couple of weeks, and it has gotten worse to where she now is almost constantly coughing. She's taking some medicine, but I think it may be something more serious. Please pray for her, that this gets better, and that's it nothing serious. I'll keep y'all updated.

Also, on a much more minor note, please pray for me, as well. I'm preparing to move out on my own here in a couple of months to a large city hours away from home, and the change is going to be a difficult transition, both for myself and for my family. Please pray that God will guide and strengthen me as I take this step in my life and for my family as they will lose me as a family member within close geographic proximity, something that hasn't really happened to this extent before. I think we'll grow emotionally closer in the long run, but it's going to be tough. My biggest fear right now is being lonely, so just pray that God will help me through the expectedly difficult beginning.

Just please remember these requests, if you don't mind. I appreciate you all very much.

Okay. I'll pray for you guys.

I hope your little sister doesn't have pneumonia or something like that. People can get that even when the weather isn't cold. It honestly sounds frightening.

I hope the medicine works and that your sister will start to feel better, breathing problems can definitely be frightening (sorry, kinda stating the obvious). I will definitely pray for her.

I'll also be keeping your decision to move out in mind. I often wonder about moving out, but at this point I'm still too scared to actually plan or go through with it. That and I don't feel that I'm at the right point in life quite yet, though I'm sure it's approaching fast. Loneliness is a big fear for me too, as well as the separation from my family. I definitely respect you for taking such a big step, difficult as it may be.

Take care ^_^

I will pray for your sister's health and your family's comfort. I'll also pray for this transition that you're going through, moving out on your own. Loneliness is a terrible and fearful thing, but the Lord will be your companion and He will be faithful to provide companions. Perhaps you will meet amazing people as you go out on your own. Who knows what the Lord wants to do through this!

Oh I surely hope your sisters problem isn't too serious. I will definitely be praying for her recovery.

Also, I will also be praying for your new journey in life... that the transition will be smooth and that your family becomes closer. Although it may not be easy in the beginning, I have faith that God will help comfort and protect you.

I will definitely keep you, your sister and the rest of your family in my prayers. Please if you can, let us know how everything works out. Take care bud.

Thanks, everyone, I really appreciate it. She says she's feeling better today, but the coughing still persists. Oh, and she's my older sister (she's actually 13 years older than me :sweat: ).

And just to clarify one other thing: I'm moving out to go to grad school. I really appreciate your prayers and words of comfort, everyone. Thanks and I love you all. :thumb:

Oh, that's fine. I didn't want it to sound rude, so sorry if it did. I just thought that putting the age into perspective for everyone might make the situation a little clearer. And again, thanks for your prayers. I'll update you all later on to let you know how things are going.
