Subject: Prayer request Author: Julie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:38:27 01/31/04 Sat Ladies, I just wanted to ask a special favor of you. One of my oldest and dearest friends, whom I met because we were both Roller fans, has had a stroke and needs all the prayers she can get. If you were at Rollerfest 97 in Las Vegas or 98 in New Orleans, she was there. Her name is Vera Goff and she attended both fests with her sister, Connie. She has had heart problems her whole life, and when Connie called me to tell me, she said that the blood was basically collecting at the bottom of her heart and wasn't pumping back out into her body and she ended up with a blood clot that went to her brain. She is paralyzed on her right side and Connie said the doctors said she has a 50/50 chance. The situation is bad enough, but Vera has had a lot of pain in her life. She was born with a bad heart to begin with. She lost her fiance when he was killed by a car when she was 19. He was the one and only love of her life and she has never gotten over his death. So, she has never married. She lost her Dad a few years after that to years of diabetic related problems (including horrible rages of anger when he would go into insulin shock and Vera, Connie and their Mom would have to endure his anger until it was over) and then to top it all off, their mother, Julia died almost 2 years ago at 63 due to medical negligence at a local hospital. (She went into the hospital for swelling in her extremities and they gave her Vioxx. Guess what? She was allergic to steriods and guess what Vioxx is? She went into a coma and ended up dying.) The girls are in the process of suing the hospital since the fact that their mother's chart noted that she was allergic to steroids and they administered them anyway. So, if you would please remember Vera in your prayers and to your prayer lists, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Julie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
