Help... please... prayer...healing thoughts... please.
 
Please... if you would. I am needing help sending up prayer.... or asking for healing thoughts/words....


I just received a phone call from a dear friend (her name is Chris) in Germany.

She was in an accident where she was using toilet bowl cleaner and the chemicals exploded in her face causing severe deep burns to her face and eyes. She has no sight in her left eye and very limited "foggy" vision in her right eye. It is unknown right now if she will ever have any improvement in her vision.

I could really use assistance.... I'm new at this and as best as I am trying I can't do this alone.

Thank you,
Abbie

How awful! I do hope your friend is able to get some vision back. You can count on me. :smileypray:

Abbie

It doesn't look like you need assistance to pray for your friend. Your heart is already there, so go ahead and let it flow. It won't matter if your words are not in order - God listens to our hearts. :winky:

That being said, I'll join you in prayer. What a horrible accident. :(

Jomar 06-08-2008 03:39 PM

I hope she recovers with no complications
hugs and prayers sent

Prayers on their way Abbie! :hug:

bluenurse 06-08-2008 04:24 PM

Joining the prayer chain for Chris:hug: It is just amazing how a simple thing like cleaning a toilet could result in this tragedy. Praying for a complete recovery.

lefthanded 06-08-2008 04:28 PM

I agree with KathyM . . . any time you cry out in prayer, I believe a million other prayers join with yours. At any rate, adding her to the prayer list. . . .

DM 06-08-2008 08:37 PM

Hi ABs! Of course I will say a prayer for your friend, Chris. Such an awful thing to happen. I've been thinking of you lately, too! Take care of yourself. :hug:

Abbie 06-08-2008 08:51 PM

This has been a difficult day for me... I feel helpless as the miles prohibit me rushing to my friend's side.

I'm sitting here crying at the wonder of the kindness from all of you!!!!

Thank you all so much!!!

This means so much to me.... I...I'm at a loss for words!!

All of you... you are so kind.


Sending each of you a big BIG HUG!!
:hug:

AfterMyNap 06-08-2008 09:37 PM

Abby, you're NEVER alone when you have God. You and Chris also have our prayers.

An old boss of mine had that happen to her and she made a full recovery with a little time. Keep the faith, and trust Him.:hug:

SandyC 06-08-2008 09:44 PM

Sending up a prayer for your friend. I also want to thank you for this story even though it has ended badly. I will be sure to be more careful when using cleaners in the toilet. I can't tell you how many times I have splashed chemicals cleaning the toilet.

ewizabeth 06-08-2008 09:50 PM

God bless her and let her sight return, that it just be temporary scars that will heal and diminish with time. :hug::hug::hug:

Chemar 06-08-2008 10:26 PM

(((((Abbie))))
I pray that Chris will heal quickly and have a full recovery.

Praying too for you to be encouraged to know that God doesnt need eloquence in prayer...even our sighs and tears speak volumes to Him:grouphug: so know that your prayers for Chris were heard immediately!

please let us know Chris' progress

Idealist 06-09-2008 01:04 AM

Abbie, I'm sending you all the good wishes and prayers that I have for your friend, and for you as well. The bond between the two of you must be very close. I pray that she makes a full recovery, especially in her vision. But it would be wonderful if her healing went even further than that. God bless both of you.

I don't know when that will be as phone calls are very expensive and she's not able to email anymore.... :(

I truly appreciate all of the healing thoughts and prayers!!

DM 06-19-2008 07:13 PM

Hey ABS! Just wondering if you'd heard any news yet? Keeping your friends in my prayers. You take care of yourself, too!! :hug:

Abbie 06-19-2008 08:26 PM

I spoke with my friend via internet phone a few hours ago.

She has been home for a few days. She still has no sight in her left eye and very fuzzy foggy vision in her right eye.

Visiting nurses come in 3 or 4 times a day to put drops in her eyes that are supposed to help with scarring and "possibly" clear up the damage from the chemicals.

Chris's spirits are good. She has some type of program on her computer that reads anything she has on her computer to her. She has even figured out that she can order groceries from her computer and the store near her will deliver them to her door.

Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts of healing. They are greatly appreciated!!!

I will keep you all updated as things progress.

:hug:
Abbie

Darlene 06-20-2008 12:38 AM

Thanks for updating us, ABS! Your friend has a good attitude and an even better friend>>>> YOU. Hope she continues to improve.

Burntmarshmallow 06-20-2008 12:44 PM

Abbie, I am keeping up my praying for full recovery and that eye sight to return!

Just checkin in...
 
and grateful to read your update!:D

Chris is adjusting to her current limitations rather well, it seems?:D
This must be a rough adjustment to make right now. I am thrilled she has so much strength and courage (and help) right now!:D

Abbie, you are such a good friend to her!:D This can help so much during difficult times!:hug:

I will continue to hold you both in my thoughts, meditations, prayers, offering positive thoughts/energy on behalf of each fo you!:)

I am hoping Chris will recover completely, as well!:D

Continue to take excellent care!:hug:

Update
 
I just wanted to thank you all for your healing thoughts and prayers for my friend Chris.

I received an email from her today....

She is going to be receiving a corneal transplant. At this time it is not known when or if it will be one or both eyes.

Chris seems to be in very good spirits and is adapting quite well. She has figured out that she can play certain video games without actually having to see what is going on.

Please keep Chris in your thoughts and prayers.
I will update you all as I learn more.

:hug:
Abbie

NurseNancy 07-03-2008 08:37 PM

Burntmarshmallow 07-03-2008 10:22 PM

Thanks to twink;)... I caught this update. So wonderful to hear of Chris

I have been "wondering" ...Praying in my own way for a good bit of time ..all of us have and all of us will keep doing just that. Keep us updated when you can...I think a "Happy Ending" isnt that far away...I pray for just that. ! !
