In Need of Prayer

Thu Dec 13, 2007, 4:12 PM
  • Mood: Depressed
Well, a lot of things have happened over the past few days. Everything started on Saturday evening when Oklahoma was hit by the largest ice storm in its history. Over 400,000 people were left without electricity including myself. I haven’t power for 4 days or running water. I had to go to the local shelter to take a shower and use their internet to post this journal. We live on 25 acres and every single tree is either broken in half, has lost all its branches, or simply collapsed from the weight of the ice all together. It’s going to take years to put the city back together again. And that’s not all... ... among everything going on my best friend, Apollo, has been diagnosed with the devastating disease EPM. EPM is a neurological disease that affects a horse's brain, spinal cord and nervous system. I went out to the pasture feed him on Saturday evening to find him hardly able to stand. He was so off balance and almost collapsed several times. We took to the vet immediately and he has been there ever since. He will remain at the vet for a couple more weeks to go through testing, and treatment. EPM can be treated if caught early enough but if not it can be fatal... so please pray that we caught it in time. Please keep Oklahoma City, along with the 400,000 that have been left without power that relief is brought to them soon. Also please, please, please, pray for my one and only love Apollo that God will place his healing hands on him and return him to me with a clean bill of health.

Thank you,
@pollo22

Oh my, I heard about the ice storm. I'm terribly sorry, and for Apollo, don't lose faith, we all hope and pray he'll get better soon. I want to wish you good luck, and don't give up. We're here for you.

Aww, I'll be praying for you. One of my friend's horses was EPM, but they didn't catch it in time. It was so sad. I hope and pray that Apollo's has been caught in time and that treatment will be successful.

Isn't faith believing all power can't be seen?
