My son (not the bb player) is in hs and has been diagnosed with a herniated disk in his back. Please pray for healing, relief from pain, and return to his sport. Thanks so much.

I'd like to add my husband to the list. I'd posted a while back under a different screen name asking for advice on how to tell my out-of-state son about his father's illness and upcoming surgery. My son lurks on these boards and I didn't want him "accidently" finding out. Follow-up tests at this point show his prognosis is good which is a relief. His surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning and if everything goes well he should be home by next weekend. Thanks so much- ORmom

I have to brag on ORson - he is a true freshman lefty relief pitcher at KState and recently went 21 innings without a score and has a 1.31 ERA - awesome start to his college career!
I know it will be tough for him being in Kansas with his dad having surgery in Texas - they are an extremely close family.

I would like to request prayers for the college kids taking their finals - it's tough to get the study time in with baseball going on! Prayers for them to handle the stress~

Thanks for all the prayers-surgery went well-hubby's kind of grumpy (pain meds are great things)and very hungry (liquid diet until the colon heals a bit.) Thanks again.

Thanks for the update on ORdad ... we are trusting the Lord to give him peaceful rest til he is fully recovered from the surgery.

I'll ask for prayers for my son as he arrived at Ft Sill, OK tonight to begin basic training. Although I realize that he's probably better prepared than 95% or more of the young folks there, I feel emotions similar to when I sent him to kindergarten. Thanks everyone.

lafmom, I can tell you from personal experience that there is NO extended family better than the military family. Your son is in the best of hands. If all of society functioned socially like the military men and women of our country, the world would be a much more unified place indeed.

Please continue prayers for baby Lane (General Items forum a while back). He had open heart surgery to replace holes over Memorial Day Weekend and now he is having some complications and has to go back to the hospital.
Also, we just got word that a woman (younger gal in her 40's) from our church has suffered an aneurysm and is not doing well. Her name is Sherry.
