Prayers


Asking for prayers for Monica  as she passed out over a week ago and ended up in the hospital with a subdural hematoma on her brain. 2 nights ago the bleed became larger and she was rushed for emergency surgery to remove a large piece of skull to relieve the pressure and try to stop the bleeding. While finishing surgery they discovered bleeding inside her brain also. She is in ICU in a drug induced coma and is very critical. Repeat CT scan this am shows no new bleeding with still lots of swelling. Yay God that when they turn the medicine off she is able to wiggle her right toes and squeeze her right hand. Doctors tell us this recovery will a slow process and she will be in hospital for weeks. We've taken turns seeing her the past 2 days and Darren is getting very little sleep. Please pray for complete and total healing and for peace and rest for Darren and all the family/friends.

  1. My prayers are with you. I had just seen her video on her heart pump and this news is so sad to hear. God hold her in your arms and all who love her. Amen.

  2. I was on the LVAD website trying to get information for my brother who also just had an LVAD implanted this past week and was so inspired by Monica's story, I had to visit her blog. So sad to hear about this information. I hope she is doing well and pray for her and her family.

  3. I discovered Monica's story on MyLVAD website. Such an inspiring, articulate woman. At the end of the video, there was mention of this site and I see she has suffered a setback and there has been no updates. I pray she is recovering!

  4. I too discovered Monica's blog through youtube my LVAD...As an LVAD patient, just about a year now. I understood and could relate to what she had shared and the devastation that all go through; however, she has a positive outlook and wide support system. I am so sorry to hear about her set back. My prayers go out to her and her family for a beautiful recovery and renewed strength.

  5. I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
    I'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what? I'm totally healed my cramp pain is gone completely I also used his Anti Bacteria herbal medicines it's works for me very well I want anyone with health problem to contact Dr Itua herbal center for any kind diseases remedies such as Parkinson, Herpes, ALS, MS, Diabetes, Hepatitis, Hiv/Aids,Cancers, Men & Women Infertility, I got his email address  drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com he has any kind of herbal remedies for women & men also for our babes. I really miss my Hunni...he's a fantastic father & a good man. He doesn't deserve this. I feel like an empty shell of who I used to be.
