**** DW has suffered from acid reflux for years and has developed what is known as Barrett’s esophagus, a pre-cancerous condition. She will be undergoing surgery this morning (laparoscopic fondoplication) in a procedure which involves wrapping the upper end of the stomach around the lower esophagus to help it keep stomach acid out of the esophagus. Doctor will also repair a hiatal hernia at the same time. Any and all prayers will be greatly appreciated.

He is risen! Aleluia!
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said,
“Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.”
With confidence in Your loving heart
which offers rest to weary souls,
we come to You in this time of special need.
In Your unfailing love,
read the prayer that is written on our hearts,
and grant the grace that we ask of You,
in accordance with Your holy will.
In Your name we pray.
Amen.
 
I’m praying for her.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, we fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To you do we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not our petitions but, in your mercy, hear and answer us. Amen.
 
Lord please have your holy angels guide the hands of Elsa’s surgeon and nurses, and heal her in accordance with your will. Grant her a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. May she be abandoned to your merciful love full of confidence in your merciful love. Grant her strength, patience and peace at this time of illness and help her to keep growing in faith, hope and love. May she feel your presence while suffering and may she place all of her trust in you. Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!
 
UPDATE:Praise God, the surgery was absolutely routine. Elsa is back home now, but is still a little queasy from the anesthetic, and quite sore from having a breathing tube in, from nerve pain (which transfers from the diaphragm to the shoulders, oddly enough) and all of the incisions (5). Even swallowing her liquid diet is painful. But, the benefit will be realized in a few weeks as her acid reflux is either greatly diminished, or eliminated altogether. For this we are thankful to our merciful God, and to each of you for your prayers. Amen!

My apologies: I would have posted this yesterday, but was too fatigued from the hospital stay and from my own cancer treatment the day before.
 
Lord, I pray for the successful surgery and early recovery of DW. May the doctors be guided by your holy spirit for them to determine the right thing. May DW and his/her family to continue to trust in you. I ask this through the intercession of Mama Mary.
 
I will pray a rosary for Elsa’s continued recovery. May God bless her and you 🙂
 
May the Lord bless each of you with treasure in heaven! Elsa is recovering well. The first 48 hours were the worst, and she is still not too energetic, but I have seen great improvement. We are entering the stage of transitioning from a full liquid diet to a soft diet. Your prayers have been a comfort and a help. May Christ’s peace be with each of you. Amen.
 
That’s good news, Jim. I missed the prayer request until now.
I’m so glad that your wife is recovering.It sounds like she has been through a lot of discomfort over the years. Please God you can now be at peace about Elsa’s health.
