Traci: That was a lovely picture... thanks for pointing it out. :-) As soon as you said "ocean", I was there!
Ditto about Mary's sister... I either missed it or didn't realize that Kristen BCMomof3 was Mary/Apple's SIL.
BTW: you mentioned that your dog Lady saved your life... how did that happen? I like hearing good dog stories... they're like good angel stories!
Janet: What a wonderful experience you had... to fall asleep after your surgeon blessed you.
Gotta get ready for the trick or treaters. It's from 6 to 8 here. Grandsons are Mario and Luigi and look great! I'm glad the weather is cooperating.

Theresa,
My dog Lady saved me spiritually. I have always been very tenderhearted, and sometimes very fragile. I was very devastated by my father's brain tumor when I was 14, and the cracks started to show later in high-school and college. My mom was totally against me getting a dog in college, and it was because of a roommate that I did. I think back and see where I could have been a much better mother, but I will never forget the day she fell in love with me. It was three days after I got her, and she became crazy with joy when I came through the door. She, in fact, chose me at the pound. I remember it all like it was today, not even yesterday.
One of the harder things in my life, was recognizing that I couldn't be the best mom after I graduated from college and moved to DC to go to Nursing School. I let her stay with Mom and Dad, then THEY fell deeply madly in love with her. (who couldn't) Since my Dad is my hero, and he fell in love with her, I never took her back. My heart broke into a million pieces every time I had to leave her, and she always favored me when I would visit. She would sleep on my bed for days after I left. My mother didn't always understand my depression or know what to do, and she had her own. But she would say to me, Lady saved your life, and sometimes she would cry, because she knew how I had more of a will to live when I had her. It was 9 years after I gave her up, before I got another dog. She was still alive at the time, and I never wanted her to think she was anything but number one in my heart.
When I went to the pound in DC, there was this little girl that was maybe 7 years old. The volunteer saw me glance at her, and he took her out in the pen for me. Well, she was shaking all over, terrified. The volunteer basically WOULD NOT let me look at any other dogs. Swear. He just kept telling me I had to take her, that I was the one for her. I was hesitant, because she looked almost exactly like Lady! Down to the markings on her paws and face. They differed in size only.
So I picked her, and named her Kaellie. (Kaellie was NOT nice to Lady when they met, which was extra hard on me, b/c I was so worried Lady would think I had replaced her. ) Lady passed on about one year later, and I lost my dear Kaellie the same year as my mother. You know I am sitting here sobbing as I write this, I am sure.
And so I sit here with Delilah, my sweet monster, who is also a redhead, and she looks a little different, more like a fox. She is part Shiba Inu, part Husky and children think she's a coyote
So I think all of my dogs have given me a reason to live. I understand animals much better than I do people. I only have rescues, and there are so many dogs where I live! I must know at least 100 dogs, and even like some of their owners! (LOL) I spent 1/2 hour grooming my landlords Rottweiler today, using a curry brush and comb like you would with a horse. Here is this Huge intimidating dog, and he buried he head in my chest while me was getting brushed.
I might like Crows (Janet!) but I just never had one as a pet. But I sure wouldn't even entertain the idea of dating anyone that didn't like Dogs/animals in general. People who don't like animals Scare Me!
So that's my story, not as exciting as it probably sounded, but from the heart nonetheless. I PRAY that I meet up with all of my dear dear animal family when I pass.
PS, my mother got a Welsh Corgi for our family growing up, and he was my best buddy. All of my dogs are either redheads, or look like a fox to honor him.

Awww, that's a nice doggie story. They just break your heart, don't they? I never saw my Mom cry except when a dog died. After we put our dog Emma down, I swore I'd never get another one b/c I'm an emotional mess. But we now have Lucy, who's getting all white in the face. Lucy will be my last.
We always had dogs growing up and sometimes cats. And as a parent, I've always had dogs for my kids. My son is a dog lover, but my daughter doesn't particularly like animals of any kind, but she likes our dog, Lucy. Lucy knows that she's a dinner maker, so hovers around her at dinner time during the work week.
My brother introduced us to pit bulls, and we've been in love with them ever since. His dog was a huge pit named Mojo... big white dog. When Chuckie was dying, he was concerned about who would take care of Mojo (I had a really bizarre Marian dream about Mojo after I had said a rosary novena for my brother's cure... but I digress) so I told him I would adopt him. Mojo had been with Chuckie for many years and was getting old, had arthritis and allergy problems, so he had to be taken to the vets quite often. By and large he was a laid back dog, loved kids and other dogs and Twinkies. The kids would play the Twinkie game with him --- which hand is the Twinkie in and put their hands behind their backs and Mojo would guess which hand by tapping with his left or right paw. He'd gobble it down in one gulp. So Chuckie was dying at my Mom's house, with the care of hospice. She lived a few blocks from where I lived. Most days we'd say good-bye to Mojo and he'd just lay there. I know he was wondering why he was living with us instead of his master. The afternoon my brother was dying, I got the phone call to come to Mom's, so I gathered up the kids to get ready to go. Mojo must have known. Instead of just laying there like he normally did, he jumped up and pushed his way out the door and wanted to go. I couldn't say no. I had a feeling he knew his master was dying. He walked into my Mom's house, looked around the first floor, then headed upstairs to my brother's room, where he layed down. It was just incredible and so sad. My brother passed away that afternoon. Over the next few weeks, Mojo just got sicker and our vet (a very compassionate man) told us that Mojo would just keep suffering. I called my sister in a panic. I just couldn't put him down alone. So she came out and we both went to the vets ... Mojo could hardly walk. He went peacefully to sleep, as if he wanted that. We cremated him and sprinkled his ashes in my brother's grave.
Good dogs know us better than we know ourselves. They must be very close to God.

Theresa,
I almost started bawling again for Mojo, but then I had to smile because you said they must be very close to God. I think so, I really do.
I have been allergic all me life to cats, and am getting more tolerant as time goes on, or it was my friend's cat that ravaged my foot that caused me to become sensitized very quickly. ahem. Two months ago, I rescued this scrawny cat who saw slowly walking in front of cars...I had my dog, and was trying to get people to help me. My neighbor who is also allergic stepped in and I took him to my Vet. My vet told me he would most likely be put down, so I paid for some blood work, and we all agreed to come together as a team to help him. They bathed him, fed him, and I would come by everyday with a little toy or a blanket. My friend who rescues cats agreed to help us. Well, on the fourth night, I was walking along and read this heartbreaking story of a lost 19 year old cat, near the street where I first found him. They described him as very thin, and the black and white photocopy was a match. I grabbed my cell phone, and told this man I think I have your cat. He was just beside himself...The cat was one of two, and the whole family had been grieving, I could even hear their phone ringing when I called, and he kept saying, I'll drive over! I said, I think I'm outside your house
they were reunited, the cat has had cancer, and they had not bathed him in three years b/c their Vet said it might kill him due to overexcitement. They went to pick him up, and he was all clean, new blanky, new toy. I was so thrilled with us as a family (my Vet is like an extended family.) And Dad cried, Mom was so happy too, and the whole family was calling from all parts of the world. That was a super day in my world.So back to Mojo...I too really like pit bulls. My friend has one and she is a love bug, and I know a few in the neighborhood too that are sweet peas. I am also fond of greyhounds with their quiet zen like countenance, and they are gentle gentle creatures.
I'd come back as a dog, if I knew I would have a good owner. My family planned all of their trips around taking the dog, staying at dog friendly hotels and bed and breakfasts.

Squid -sweet. I feel the same way about dogs. They're has been one with us my entire life.When Greg and I were first married . At a point right after nursing school. Now with 2 incomes. I said "I want a house , a kid, and a dog and I don't care which order"'. Greg never had a dog. We got a brittany through a friend. Had brits for twenty years. Then a runaway, then a rescue. Germanwirehaired pointer mix pound puppy. Greg was made a believer. He was a great dog dad.
Michele I know that was very frightening. Send your address back to me and I will send you a protocol. A protocol or standing orders say if this happens do this. It makes the decisions fly faster when you have something thats helping you, when your own adrenaline is getting in the way. I would suggest any sign of incoherence or loss of consciousness call Ems. Thats you tax dollars at work. Ask your doc handling your son's case for a glucogon pen and teaching how and when to use it. It is a very good rapid acting drug that activates the liver to release it's glucose stores. It is analogus to an epinephrine pen for and allergic response. DS should always carry glucose tabs with him and have them in different areas around the house.. One of the coaches should be knowledgeable in the s/s of low blood sugar and what action to take.Your insurance will very often cover diabetic teaching classes. If you haven't taken them call your insurance company to see what you can get going. I had a similar experience with DS--HE choked-the third himilich thrust worked.---I wasn't right for a couple of weeks, I truly know what your feeling today. God bless you.
Squid Himelich developed the thrust on dogs. I used it on 2 different occassions on,one of our brits.
Theresa that is so nice about the docs and the prayer box is so special. The heart of those docs' My MY And that was so sweet of you to say you would want to have me as your nurse. A nurse just melts over comments like that. You're story about mojo was similar to are story about Rascal who was a runeway dog. we had her 15 years she was six mos old when we founf her. She died to weeks after GReg.
Paula--Faust seeks power and sells his soul to the devil for 24 years . The character Mistopheles plays his slave during that 24 years. Then the devil comes to collect his soul. I was telling Squid I saw it as younger one. The lead character type would be played by some one on Richard Burtons level. Then i just checked and He did make a movie in 1967. Modified from original story to get Elizabeth Taylor in there. It was likely him that I saw. It's a story about good vs evil , angst, forboding the loss he's approaching, regretting making the pact that can't be changed. Actually would like to see it again, Richard Burton could do angst so well.
Has anyone experienced anything? WEll michelle has, she pulled DS out of severe hypogylcemia.You did a good job, and that would have been a toughy for experienced personell. so Kudos.
I placed my hand on my neck when i was praying for healing and its healed. Its been an ongoing problem since june 08. Hurt again after greg died. Saw ent doc this week he said lets just watch it because three pre cancerous nodes showed up. Well I won't know more until next PET. I supposed I could poke it enough to make sure it's ok that i could get it hurting again. Forgot to put in Intentions DUH
also forgot to put on My twin for return to health and healing of her LE--Please add her if you can.
For each of you I am laying on hands for what you are asking for.Try it.It does help concentration . I have added an Intention for all our memories.
LOVE to all, I want to go veg awhile Sheila

Oh my. I've had nagging feeling all day that I was forgetting something. The NOVENA!!! So I'm off to do that.
Dogs - no words for how much they enrich our lives.

I didn't know they have a glucogon pen...fabulous! Michelle, Sheila's given great advice, so if you could get more than one pen, then coach can keep one and you could have one in the car, then house (I'm sure you know the drill.) I hope you are recovering from yesteday, and that your son has been alright. It was very wise to get that sugar up in the gums...Did your son talk about having any symptoms that he maybe attributed to something else? or does he have memory for the incident. And yes to EMS, as sometimes it takes more that a few hits of glucose, and they would put an IV in and monitor him for awhile.
Sheila, I did not know you lost your dog Rascel two weeks after Greg. I trust they are together and happy.
So I will be sure to add the following Intentions tonight:
Sheila, that her pre cancerous nodes will be negative and free of pain, for her twin Sister to have a return to health and healing of her LE.
I will also add Michelle's son that he has excellent sugar/insulin control

Ladies, I haven't been on the boards since August...mainly because I've been doing well cancer-wise and since my breaset reconstruction and have just been busy with life in general. However, I'm now going through something far worse. On Saturday, October 23rd my youngest sister--my closest sibling--was struck by a car and died instantly when she was trying to cross the street in the dark. The driver was not cited or arrested, and my sister Kathy was not using a crosswalk. I keep asking myself why this happened, but of course there are no answers. She is in God's hands now but was taken from us much too soon. She had such a bubbly personality and was so full of life and lived it to the fullest. This is so hard to bear...much worse than going through my own cancer. I ask that you pray for her soul and our family as we struggle to get through this tragic loss. We all miss her so much.
~Jan

oooh Jan. how very very tragic.
I'm so sorry. May angels guide her, may God be with you all.
do take care of yourself.. i lost my brother 20 years ago, and coped by becoming an instant (and thankfully shortlived) alchoholic. It was so hard to deal with.
0 -
Jan: I'm so sorry to hear about your sister, Kathy. It's heartbreaking to lose a sibling, but even more tragic when you're not prepared to say good-bye. If the depression and anxiety over her loss gets too much, please consider using an anti-depressant for awhile. It really helped me during my mother's illness and death.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon her.
May she rest in peace. Amen.
May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.Sheila: I'm so sorry that you had to lose Rascel and Greg at the same time!! Yes, to your placing of hands on the site of prayer intentions!!! That's a great idea and I hope you continue to have healing of your nodes!!!!
Traci: I loved the cat story!! I'm allergic to cats too... actually to dogs as well, but you know how that goes. That's what allergy shots are for! :-) (Except I'm allergic to everything)
Is someone going to start that separate thread for just intentions?

Jan
I am so very sorry for your loss!! There are no words to describe the pain of that type of loss. I am adding you and your family to the prayer novena to St. Jude. I pray that your sister is in peace and looking over your family like an angel guiding you. Jan I also pray mostly for you and your family that the grief will be transcending and that you will find Peace in your time. Ladies let us pray diligently for this family.
I am also adding one more intention my dear friend Cathy 44 year old mother of 3 is having her 4th brain surgery at UCLA this Monday and she is suffering with a Gioblastoma grade 4, it has been horrible for the last 2 years and had been in chemo after chemo and surgery after surgery for 2 years. She is the most faithful Catholic I have ever met and she needs our prayers tomorrow.
Will update the thread and post it next.
Do you think any of you ladies could make a midweek prayer time in the evening for all of these intentions as they are building.

Update on my son:
Thanks for all of your feedback, regarding my little guy. He has been diabetic for 2 1/2 years so we do have all the stuff you spoke about (glucagon gun, tabs, gel etc) I think we had gotten complacent so your reminder really helped me in that I am now making emergency kits all over (friends house, cars etc) I am also holding a class at my house in 2 weeks for friends and family having dinner and having someone from JDRF come educate all the guests so this really made me tighten up the belt so to speak.
We had gotten so good at a schedule and we just didn't have very many extreme lows so this really shook every one up.
The weird thing about this is I was relatively calm and still am I think there is some real weird thing going on with me and this diabetes because I don't worry about it on the surface much and it is a very serious disease, I also didn't even mention my son in the intentions and am wondering why not. I seem to be worried more about bc than that and it is truly not how I feel my boys are more important to me than anything.
This is what I think, some where I think I have turned off emotion about so as to deal with it as it is a daily issue and I am more worried about me dying as I need to be here to protect and care for him. I think as Mother's we think that we are the protectors and if we are in control all is ok, however God in control of this as well and I can not control any part of it including the emotion.
Anyway just some thoughts about it, was really wondering why I am so disconnected to this situation....thanks for your thoughts and prayers and advice.

Janathan,
God Bless your heart, and am saddened to hear of the loss of your Dear Sister Kathy. I sincerely pray that you receive Peace in the knowledge that Kathy is with the Lord, and will evermore be by your side until you meet again. We will have you all in our prayers, and please let us know how we can help you.

Dear Sisters,
I hold you all in my hearts, as we see each other go through losses in our families. Be it recent, or years gone by, our love does not end when people move on.
Michelle,
You are taking great steps to bring awareness of insulin dependent Diabetes. You are making it a priority, and I included this in may prayers last night. Let us know when you would like to meet for prayers before Friday. How about Tuesday? Then we will meet again on Friday. All nights are fine, so whenever...
Sheila also has some intentions to add to the thread....
I would also like to add Jeannine to our individual intentions, and another person on the BCO thread that needs prayers. I will ask her today if I may use her name.
So how about we think one our needs, friends and family, and post or PM Michelle? (is that alright with you Michelle?)

Theresa thanks for your thougjts re: Rascal. They were buddies. I will start the Intentions thread soon, I'd like to leave it until this novena over. Problem is this runs right into All souls novena at church starting Nov 1st. I'll get it done' . I can just see you hands on your hips. looking either way--"now whose going to get this done" .
Michelle --in psychiatric terms it would be called a Coping Mechanism. WE use them all the time . it allows the brain/psyche not to become overwhelmed.
I would say that you have already described why it didn't bother you on a day to day. -you felt you had control of it. Don't let it shake you please. You really had a lot of mechanisms in place to control the situation.
You are in process of reviewing all you systems for flaws and fixing them. I see, I hear that you have an action plan, with multiple activities to prevent reoccurrences. You are not ignoring the problem. You haven't ignored the problem. Yes , you have handled it like a mom, But with a CEO'S background. You are doing things well. Don't be so hard on yourself. We simply make it a little more definitive on the intentions list.

Jan such a terrible loss. Hardly have words for it. I will put her in my intentions list and add her to the All souls novena at my church. There is no rhyme or reason to death. Why not me . Why them. All will be revealed in time. In the mean time when the sadness seems to overwhelm, a good cry helps and thinking of all the fun things you had together. Then some prayers. LOVE AND HUGS AND PRAYERS L&H&P Sheila

Michelle---nurses use these coping mechanisms everyhour of work. If we didn't we'd never get anything done. With the coping mechanism --you know what it is your dealing with, you know what to look for, you have a plan for problems, you have your tools near if someting needs fixing. Nurses have that thought process for every patient /disease process, they deal with on a daily basis. If you allow EVERYTHING to be on the surface all the time, you simply would be paralyzed. So, yes the feelings are strange because you were doing it automatically vs intentionally. It's okay. I know this is my 2nd post on the same topic, but michelle every nurse has been through the feelings you are going through right now. Some, don't handle it well for all kinds of different reasons. My concentration now is you, and your response. Research has shown how a "responder" manages the first 24-48-72 hours after an emergency will make a difference 6 months down the road. In EMS it can be from minor, to loss entirely from the field. So, our goal here is keep mom(YOU) and dad whole and happy. I know you have lots of things going on. It is imperative that today you are involved in some strenous activity get those endorphins spinning. Do this for the next several days. I have a reason, no long research articles. JUST DO IT. DON't put it off, otherwise yuo will regret it in 6 mon. ___GO GIRL0

Thanks again to all of you for your replies on my SON...very appreciated.
What do you all think of a midweek prayer time on Weds eve same time same place doing our St Jude together? If not no problem to wait for Friday, just want to really honor this novena.
Ladies I have to tell you my prayers have really been answered lately and really big ones especially the ones where I really let go and I see God working in my life ALOT!!!! It's working and I want to stay steadfast!
I feel there are so many to pray for right now!
Sheila and others, please pm me the additional prayer requests I really want to add all of your needs this is a really big deal to have us all praying together and I want all to benefit from this.

please keep me (and my sis) in your prayers.. i have this horribly negative sister.. she hates our family and we are always subject to her vitriole and wrath.
well, she's having problems again.. she had liver surgery here a while back, but now is accumulating major fluid .. she needs us when she's needy. i pray i will be positive for her.

Jan, I will pray very hard for you & your family. Such a tough loss. God bless.
Mary - family strife is a cross to bear isn't it? So hard to understand and overcome. I will say a special prayer for you & for her. (and I think your picture is lovely)
I'm up for any evening prayers - although I usually can't make it much past 10pm (I'm up with sun - just habit I suppose).
Michelle - I think being calm in an emergency is a sign of competence!
I was thinking last night how the novena is affecting me - and I have nothing in particular except a good feeling about it. Sometimes you may not know healing has taken place until some time later. I did have one thing unusual happen. I have two huge rose bushes (climbing) that bloom prolifically but only once each year right around mother's day. They are an 'antique' rose from England and no thorns. Well...right now at almost Nov 1, there is ONE lone rose blooming!! St Theresa? Our Lady? St. Jude? I don't know -- but it's one of those 'coincidences' that is certainly hard to explain.

Janet,
Wow. Would you mind sharing the type of Rose by name. I have no doubt you are being Divinely winked at...in a wonderful joyful way. Is there someone who has passed that you might associate with this flower? Do you mind sharing a pic so we all can enjoy it? Do you feel it's related to our Novena? can I ask any more questions?
Hi Apple!
What a wonderful pic
Well, what a hard situation to be in, as I have heard how much you love your family, and I worry about you getting hit with your sister's negative energy. I know we all do the honorable loving thing, even when others are spewing yuck, so perhaps there is a prayer of protection to say before you interact with her? Paula?Speaking of, Paula, you have been quiet...I hope it's because you are busy. I miss you when I don't see you!
Michelle,
Wednesday is good for me, just tell me what time. I am going to PM you later tonight...just waiting for feedback.

Traci - I wish I could remember the name of the rose! All I remember is that it is several hundred years old. The best part is there are NO thorns. They have the most wonderful fragrance (most modern roses today have little to no smell). I've been trying to insert a picture of what they look like in bloom ( and I can take a pic tomorrow of the one rose when it is light outside) - but it's not working. I tried copy/paste and I tried the insert image on the scroll bar - but nothing happens. Anyone know how?
0 -
Janet,
I go to Paula for all things computer related
I would love it if you would take a pic tomorrow. Something VERY special is happening, and it's thrilling!So I wanted to ask you all, if you have time tonight, to go to EnglishMajor's post titled Breast Cancer Awareness..oh shoot, I can't remember a dang thing over two words. She has a beautiful way of ending BC awareness month that just requires a flashlight, the willingness to pray (Done!) and warm clothes to step outside in at 8:45 PM Central time (she is in IL.)
I plan on joining her 9:45 PM my time, and wondering if anyone would like to join me in supporting her?

The Catholic Intentions thread is done. follow forumprayer and spiritual inspiration> CatHolic In tentions. I can modify it , but i think I covered the high point. Sure hope it doesn't start a problem. The best of intentions can go awry with just one word. Sheila

Hi Apple... that's the second picture I've seen of you today.... I think.... they're both nice! :-) I will keep you in my prayers, and here's one for you that I say before anything difficult:
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.Amen.
Traci: I'll go outside at 9:45 in my pjs with a flashlight and say an Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be for all of us with breast cancer and those who, unfortunately, will join us, and for a cure!!
Sheila: You're so funny! :-) How did you know that I put my hands on my hips? But not at you!! DH got it this weekend, though. ;-)
Prayers on Wednesday is fine with me, but like Janet, I can't go much past 10:00 b/c I'm up at 4:45 for work.
I'm not sure what kind of affect the novena is having on me. Again, I point to Janet, in that it might not be known to me yet. But after Mass today, they had the Legion of Mary handing out pamphlets and a member approached me and my DH... we signed up to have the Blessed Mother's statue in our home for a week. I'm not 100% sure what it's all about, but when I learn more, I'll share with you. And of course, when the statue is in my house for that week, it will be a special blessing and I'll keep our intentions going. Mary, our mother, always points to her son and tells us "Do what he tells you to do." as she did at the wedding at Cana.
