Prayers needed

I've taken today off work to take my daughter-in-law to meet with her back specialist. We know he is going to give her some more injections in her back today, don't know if they will be nerve block or epidural. They are also going to discuss scheduling her for surgery to implant an electrical stimulator that will suppress the nerve pathways. She has 16 bulging discs and, as of now, has lost the use of her right leg. She is only 36 and is on full Social Security disability due to degenerative nerve disease, fibromyalgia, and degenerative bone disease. She is on morphine for pain and it barely touches it. Many days she can't get out of bed. She needs a miracle. Let me just say right here, I have been blessed with a wonderful daughter-in-law (and son-in-law too). I love this girl like my own and it breaks my heart to see her in so much pain. There is so much she wants to do with her family and she is physically unable to do it. Can we all relate there? She has 2 boys, ages 9 and 13, who miss doing things with their mom. She and my son just celebrated 2 years of marriage and couldn't even go out to celebrate. She tries so hard to be strong and not let anyone see just how bad she is. It has now gotten to the point that she can't gloss over it anymore. Please remember Jamie in prayer.

Thanks Freddie. Her name is Jamie Jones. Things went fairly well today. They are scheduling her for a fresh MRI to take with her to the surgeon. Hopefully the injections he did today will last until she can get through the MRI and surgical consult.

Prayers being sent up for Jamie. I have a firend & sister that have fibromyalgia. My friend is in a worse state than my sister. She was so out going & now is on dis-ability. It just kills her. Poor Jamie has that and all the other problems too. Hope she gets some relief. Ellen

I have experienced the ravages of back pain and had multiple back surgeries.  I am so wishing her strength and praying for all of you that she will find some solution to this problem.  I know first hand that miracles do happen....Praying for one for ya'll.
