Praying especially hard for you Mom!
Hang in there! :console:Holding your son and his family close in continual prayer katy. May God be with him in all his efforts.If you could, remember my son and his wife in your prayers as well. There are small children involved, and he is the one holding things together in his case. He is at his wits end at the moment, as there seems nothing he can do to keep his family together.
**PRAYER TO ST. MONICA
Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant us that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for us, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear our plea for:
the conversion of mom4truth’s husband, and katy’s daughter-in-law and the strong faith of their families,
and grant them the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
Lord, I commend all husbands and wives
represented in this thread to you this day,
That you would raise us up to be men and
women after your own heart.
That you would cause us to grow in wisdom and
in knowledge of you and that these husbands
become holy and spiritual heads of these homes,
and that these wives become and remain vessels
that shine your light continuously.
Keep us all obedient to your will and humble
in mind and action.
Amen.**

Hi Ladies,
I forgot a day so I guess I need to start the novena over.
Can I please ask you ladies for prayers for my son? In addition to having speech issues, it has become obvious that he doesn’t hear well either. Please pray that the cause is easily treatable.
Sorry to bug you ladies but I don’t know many people who would be willing to pray.
Thank you,
Nikki

Saw in your signature that you’re a mom to 8 – how wonderful! (I love the picture in your signature too and hope to buy it someday!)
Nikki, you don’t have to start the novena over. You can pray twice today or whatever – I don’t think St. Monica or Jesus would mind.
Praying for your son now. :hug1: How old is he? I’m a bit concerned about our DD’s speech too…

This happened to my son…we discovered that with tremendous fluid on his ears so much, that by removing the tonsils, adinoids, and placed tubes in his ears for drainage, the hearing improved, as did his speech.
I will keep him in my prayers.
On another note, i went to church divine mercy sunday, and then for latter prayer at 2pm untill 3:30. It was sooooo horrible for me. I am hard of hearing, battery dead in my hearing aid, was scheduled for a reading, and could not hear when to begin, and got madder and madder as the minutes past. Finally i lowered my head, prayed for forgiveness, as this is and was a very special day…let me hear your Will.
nothing changed, but the anger subsided very quickly.
They also used a CD to acompany, but it was so hard to hear anything.
Question…does anybody know about wireless headsets that are made for such a place. They say you can put them on, and any PA system comes in loud and clear through this.
Thank you…

Oh would you…that would be so very wonderful.
I have much frustration at church with the cathedral cielings, and ecco, even on best days!
I would love to hear anything you can on this. If it is off topic by then, you can always PM me or e-mail me…both are in my profile.
God bless you!

Belle, thank you for the novena info and the prayers. DS will be 5 in May. He is very difficult even for us to understand, and no one outside our family can understand him at all. We have been concerned about the speech for a while and hoped he would outgrow his difficulties, but instead he has gotten worse. And just in this past week, it has become obvious that he doesn’t hear us but actually reads our lips. I should have realized, I am ashamed that I missed it for so long.Nikki, you don’t have to start the novena over. You can pray twice today or whatever – I don’t think St. Monica or Jesus would mind.

I will be praying for your DD. What about her speech concerns you?
Katy, thank you for your prayers also.

Rammy, thank you for the prayers. My oldest son had this problem, the fluid in his ears was because he had back-to-back ear infections for the first two and half years of his life. When the fluid drained, he learned to speak. This son has never had an ear infection so I was not expecting these problems in him. I pray that his problem is also fluid or something equally simple.
I’m sorry you were having difficulties at Church, I pray you can get a headset soon.

Don’t beat yourself up hun…you did your best where resources were smaller. Tis not a sin if you were not aware. If the encouragement of a hearing specialist can find anything, than you are indeed very lucky. He must hear some thing, to read lips sounds impossible without some background on things and people.
Mine was 4 before they discovered it enough to help. Go the route of an EYE-EAR, NOSE and Throat specialist. My son was a combination of a few things. Aparently with spinabiffita in the family, my sons hangy ball in the back of his throat was divided into two of them. We thought nothing of this…untill.
He was checked out, and as it turned out, the tunnel going from his back of the ear that drains into the back of the throat was EXTREMELY small. So the least bit of infection with his tonsils, the germ went up and behind the ear causeing pressure enough to burst the drum outwards more than once. PAINFUL screams will be the clue to this, as he holds his head in the fetal position!
We had to put drops into his ears, and try cupping the area with the finger to force the drops down the tube untill he nearly jumped out of his seat from the disgusting taste. That was how we knew they drops were through.
He was placed on anti-biotics to keep this from re-ocuring, and he was booked for surgery to remove the tonsils, adinoids, and put tubes into his ears!
It was immediately amazing…what’s that mamma…A froggy…really mamma, they are loud!
Latter when a teen, he was covered for full braces due to the complications, even minute, and similar to cleft pallet care. Toronto Sick Kids covered everything!!! 6 grand! This was music to our ears as strugaling farmers in the Niagara Region.
Remember, don’t waste time, he needs the acumulation of the eye/ear/nose/and throat doctor, not just a GP.
