Hi everyone,

It sounds like Laura has diverticulosis - which when it is inflamed or there is an infection - is called diverticulitis. It is a condition where little pouches form along the insides if the intestines and the colon. It can become very bad, burst and peritonitis can set in. My sister had it - and the surgery. It took a while but she is fine now. Laura does need lots of prayers.

When Sue said she had a pain in her left side - I was wondering if it was in the abdomen - and the first thing I thought of was diverticulitis. of course, not knowing where the pain was - who knows. We just have to say lots of prayers.

A builder I was working with - disappeared for more than three weeks - it seems he had an attack of diverticulitis and his intesine burst and he was in the hospital all that time.

It's fairly common.

I'm saying prayers for Laura & Sue and all the rest of you, my buddies. Please breathe easily and sleep well.

Love and hugs,

Gail

Oh poor Laura. Yes that is extrememly painful. My Mother had it and was forced to bed every time she had an attack. Hopefully the surgery will avoid the attacks.

Where have u been had me worried sick. Are u ok. We are trying to work it so everyone has a person assigned to come on here and tell us if one of us is extremely sick so try to think of somebody. I am sooooo happy to see your face my friend. You got to last as long as I do cause we in this together(haha).

omg sueeeeeeeeeee..thank god. where have u been...u had ua worried sick..are u ok

good morning. just recieved an email from lauras daughter. she made it threw the surgery last night but as of this morning, her daughter wrote me that her kidneys and liver shut down, shes in very critical care. her body is breaking down. when i no more ill be back.

Thanks so much Jo I'll keep praying. Did u see Sue came home she has also been in hospital with appendix problems.

Appendix is nothing compared to Laura. We all need to pray really really hard. When your organs shut down, that's signs of the end. Please dear God, let her come out of this. We all need her very much.
