Need some good thoughts and/or prayers...
A friend of mine and best friend of one of my housemates, Andy, is going in for a liver transplant tonight... he is only 25. He's been diagnosed with a rare blood disorder that causes him to produce too many platelets. They built up in his liver input and basically starved his liver of blood for weeks. He had surgery to remove the blockage last week but it appears it won't be enough. His twin brother and my housemate are going to wait it out at the hospital tonight... Any good thoughts for him, for healing and making it through the surgery (he is on blood-thinning meds due to the high platelets), and for support for everyone with him would be appreciated. :cry:

Father in Heaven. Please place your healing hand on this young man and make him whole again and give him a speedy recovery. In your name I ask it, when 2 or more are gathered in your name, it shall be. AMEN

Your friend is about my son's age. I'll be sure to say prayers for you and Andy and everyone else worrying.

Peace.

9. White light and
good thoughts for your friend.

You know there have been studies that show sending energy (or however one interprets that, i.e. prayers ...) actually does make a difference.

Here's hoping 2005 will be his year!

19. I've knocked on that door twice in my life
and all I can suggest is "think positive". There comes a time when it's out of your hands and all that's left is acceptance. I pulled through and I really hope your mate comes through OK. Best of luck.

20. Aiming and sending White Light, Positive Thoughts and a Healin' Vibe
In Andy's direction. I imagine this has to be almost unbearable for the twin brother :-( So "connected" twins are :-):-) (or so I'm told)

He, Andy's twin bro needs some of these too :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
