My Daughter

Nothing in this world kills me more than to know my one and only child is hurting to no end, except not having that perfect "father knows best" words of wisdom to give her. I'm deeply concerned for her well being and she is after all, my very heart beat.

She called me tonight distressed and apologizing for things that have been long forgotten, forgiven and under the bridge. Her tearfulness and saddened state tears me apart and I feel so helpless with her situation. She's scared, worried and alone and her husband and in-laws are no help at all. They seem willing to help her except when it comes to her religious concerns and then they back away and make her feel isolated.

And now she's also terrified because of a recent development in her health with symptoms similar to a stroke - a tingling and ongoing numbness on one side of her face and hands. She goes in for an MRI either this Thursday or next to check her head (not sure the date because she was highly stressed and hard to understand at times).

If any of you believe in the power of prayer (and I do) please place her before God as I do for many of you and ask for her healing and resolve of the situation at home. I also ask you bring her, her husband and my grandson up in prayer at your Church.

	plh February 23, 2006 06:58 AM PST i know this is off the wall and generally happenes only durring a woman durring pregancy, but your daughter is showing signs of something called 'Bell's Palsy' - it has ALL the similar symtoms of a stroke in a young woman of childbearing years - i know this personally because TWICE we have stood by my bestfriends daughter (which shes like a daughter to me) while she suffered with it - she had permant loss of her facial muscles on the leftside of her face and the feelings in her left arm - please go look at this site... http://www.bellspalsy.com my deepest prayers go out to her * her family, and you }}}HUG{{{


	Sharkbait February 22, 2006 11:14 PM PST hugs Keeping her and your family in my prayers. Take care.


	CerealCaeser February 22, 2006 10:12 PM PST God never forgets us. He even knows those that don't do his work directly, or get in the way of those that do with inaction and uncertainty. As I pray, and others, she will be healed, heartened and strengthened. Take stock in His Love and Grace. All will be well.


	Judy February 22, 2006 09:57 PM PST Oh Dave, I pray that your daughter finds the answers she needs to her health issues. That alone is scary. I also pray that she keeps The Faith...she isn't alone - God is always with her.
