Need Prayers and Positive Thoughts...

I'm not usually one to post private details, but I'm feeling a little blue and overwhelmed and you girls are my friends so I feel like I can just vent and worry out loud and you'll understand. :)

So DH is gone on another trip (again, still, always, LOL) and just like his other recent trips it seems that everything that could go wrong, is. DD is sick again, I've been assaulted by all manner of creepy crawlies (ick!), yadda yadda. (love the drama there? lol).

But most importantly, before he left, his dad was admitted to the hospital for surgery to remove some growths. Last we heard before DH left everything had gone smoothly and FIL was on the road to recovery. Then, not 24 hours after DH left, I got word that FIL's condition had deteriorated and there have been complications. The details are a little complicated, but let's just say that his deterioration is in large part triggered by the affects of some poor lifestyle choices. Now he's in critical condition in the ICU and on a ventilator. :(

DH just lost his mom last summer due to complications from surgery to treat lung cancer (yes, because of smoking :(). My heart just aches for him at the thought that he may lose his dad too and both essentially due struggles with addiction. I've been in contact with DH's command so if things look really dire they will bring him home. But I'm praying and hoping hard that things improve so he won't have to face this loss anytime soon. I just can't stop worrying about this, it's practically all I can think about, kwim?

Anyway...any P&PTs would be so greatly appreciated. And thanks for listening.
 
Awww Sara... {{hugs}} Im sorry you are going through so much. I hope his dad's condition improves
 
Thank you all so much for the warm outpouring. I'm a big believer in prayer and the power of positive thought so I figure the more the better. :)

And it makes me feel so much better just knowing I have you all thinking of DH, FIL and all of us. Thank you.
 
sending prayers and hugs and good to know that he has an understanding command that will let him come home in a time of need, if needed...
 
Awww, Sara, what a difficult thing to go through. :( Sending positive thoughts and good vibes your way.
 
Many many HUGS Sara! That must be so hard for you to deal with and I'll keep you and your DH in my thoughts and prayers!
 
Oh, Sara, it's so sad to hear this! I'll definately be praying for your fil, and sending you all positive vibes!!! I hope he can pull through this!
 
I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all of this. Thats a whole lot of burden for one person to carry. You and your family (and DH's family) will be in my prayers hun.
 
that is really sad. My best friend went through this with her husband a few years back and she would talk to me about it as it was happening. My thoughts are with you and your family though. I hope things will work out for everyone
 
I'm so sorry that your husband's father is in such a state. I hope that he can avoid a trip home for something so sad, and save them for happy visits instead. Thinking of you and your family!
 
So sorry to hear you have to deal with this - I'm sure it's twice as tough with your dh gone! Hopefully your FIL will improve. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers!
