Leeza is gravely ill, in the worst way. I learned this from another website.
Please pray for Leeza. She has cancer, and blood poisoning.
I apologize Leeza if this goes against your privacy, I did consider that, but people need to be praying for you.

Thanks for letting us know, Elizabeth, even if it does break my heart. I'll pray for her too.

...just to update, the latest that anybody has heard at this point is still the same information contained in the first post here.
This was posted on RITAN by RUA:
I'm sure they won't mind me repeating that.
I think that regardless of the outcome here, we should pray that the Lord's will be done. I know He is always impatient for His own: he loves us, and wants to be with us... and perhaps He simply couldn't wait any longer for Lisa. Either way, miracle or calling home, I know my prayers are with her.

From what I can see elsewhere, Lisa has been having some issues with the nursing staff at the hospital she's in.

Benjamin, I went back and found this. This is a previous post from RUA:
Fortunately Lisa has reported it to a the Charge Nurse, so hopefully something will be done.
Reading through, well skimming through that thread, I found out Lisa used to be a nurse.

Bless dear RUA, she has managed to stay in contact with Lisa. It's getting harder now. Here is a text she just got addressed to RUA and her RITAN family:
“sorry been too sick to text, been vomiting up bile, so nauseated; so sorry to worry you”
I am so grateful and thankful to the Lord, for I feared the worst and although I have been crying for the last day and half, today they are tears of joy.
I am sorry if I don’t update regularly or answer questions, I am pretty exhausted and having a hard time with my friend’s pain, I wish I were by her side during this time.
Love to you all and I do pray for you all as well.
Please continue to pray for Lisa/Leeza.

Well, I don't care!!!! No one deserves to be treated in that manner and some of these people that go into the medical field (in any form) chose the wrong profession and shouldn't be there! There are some who have ZERO compassion. I would like to know how they would feel or react if it were one in their family.
I've worked in the medical industry for a lot of years and knew people who had no compassion. Yes, there are people who 'milk it', so to speak but I was always at a loss because I could never understand how people could be so heartless! Shame on them!
Sorry for the rant.

Elizabeth, thanks for clarifying, that previous message confused me a little when I read it.
I see what you mean, Shiloh, and I can imagine it. Although I don't think I ever had any complaints towards medical people myself, apart from a couple of people I visited once, but hey. |

Post by jasperdale on Mar 30, 2014 3:00:08 GMT
shiloh, i totally agree with you. there are some people in the medical profession who i truly think have no heart. since i am someone who has to take "narcotics" for pain relief, i am subjected to people all the time who treat me like i am a drug seeker. i can't tell you how many pharmacists have done everything they could to make it hard to get my prescriptions filled.
it breaks my heart to think of lisa........or anyone else for that matter...........writhing in pain, especially when pain relief is both available and safe to take.
i hope that everyone understands that people like me, who take pain medicine on a daily basis...........get no "high" from the medicine. yes, there was a nice euphoria associated with my medicine for the first month or so, but tolerance quickly builds up, and if you stay on a low dose such as i do........there is no euphoria.
for me, i have had to be content with living with a "moderate" amount of pain, even with the medicine. people who are taking narcotics for a "high", will have to take massive doses in order to deal with their tolerance building up. i don't take medicine because i want to. i take it, because if i don't, i simply will not sleep. without the pain relief, i will routinely go without sleep for 3 and 4 days at a time.
that's what really gets to you. that's probably one of the main reasons lisa is so disheartened and hurting. when you don't sleep, even moderate pain becomes unbearable. i have been praying that the Lord Jesus continues to watch over lisa and helps her cope with her situation. it is ludicrous that a woman her age and in her condition, should have to remain in a hospital bed in pain, when relief could be given to her right away. may the Lord Jesus give her peace and comfort in her time of need.

Exactly, Jasperdale! I know people who do not abuse any drugs and hold out as long as possible. For crying out loud, they are making it hard to even get antibiotics now because they claim we become resistant. I can see that as well as tolerance when it come to pain but they act like you're asking for heroine if you ask for an antibiotic now.
My nephew just went through a recent scenario like that for pain relief. He had panceatitis. He's home now and still in some pain but the whole story is like a nightmare. It's too long to explain everything involved, but and even the gastro dr. apologized to him for accusing him. They thought he was in there just to get drugs, He drove himself to the hospital in the middle of the night. Even the administrator of the hospital is furious with the staff. He is not a drug addicted person, he holds a very good job and they are drug tested randomly for everything.
I'm against suing but in that case, I would sue. That's not only negligence but it's malpratrice too.
Boy, I wish I had some say. I told my sister and brother-in-law what to do. If I had my say in any of it, they'd be dealing with the wrong person!

You know what, Jasp? When I worked in a hospital I have memories of certain people. We had this one woman who was dying of brain cancer. I was the one taking care of her. Her doctor came in her room and he said, "How's she eating?" I said, "She is in ALOT of pain!" and he flipped out on me and said, "I DIDN'T ASK ABOUT HER PAIN! I ASKED HOW SHE'S EATING!!!!" I said, "Well, if you're in obvious, excruciating pain, how in the h*** are you going to have an appetite?!" He tried to get me fired but it didn't work. Her poor husband was so distraught too. We ended up giving him medication and their kids were from out of state. He had brought in all these pictures from when they were first married. Such a lovely couple.
Long story short, I heard her doctor retired, moved to Florida and committed suicide. He had zero compassion for people. I know this isn't very Christian of me, but I thought, "Oh well." when I heard he committed suicide.

i suppose that it should not shock us that so many doctors and nurses seem to feel no compassion for people in severe pain. without Jesus, it is really hard to justify WHY we should care for another human being. i mean, if i am only in this world to "get mine", then why should i care if "you" are in pain? what on earth would we do without our blessed Lord Jesus?
i'm sure that many people got into medicine with good motives. but, if you deny that God exists, over time a person becomes dull and uncaring because they feel there is no meaning in life, anyway. if we "are" nothing but animals, then who cares if an animal suffers as long as it does not affect me? sadly, this is what we see in so many hospitals and doctors offices. human beings are treated as nothing more than a higher life form.
i remember taking our little cat to the vet, and the doctor gave him something for pain, and this was right after i was denied medicine from a E.R. some vets are far more compassionate than physicians. sad but true.

Jim, this is the last update on Lisa/Leeza. It was posted up above, but I'll post it again to make it easier to find. I've boldened Lisa's words this time, and RUA's are in normal type:
Other than this, which was posted 3 or 4 days ago, I have not seen anything. I keep checking over at RITAN.

Hi, it is Rua.
She is not doing well. As you are know, she has cancer and septicemia but now they have a found a blockage and why she was vomiting bile all the time. She can't eat or drink, and the doctors have had to put a tube down into her stomach to stop the vomiting. The doctors are debating surgery, which they were hoping to do tomorrow but as of an hour ago, they still haven't told her whether they will or not. She said she would text me as soon as she finds out. I think she is so weak and so sick that this is a tricky situation for the doctors.
Oh, as I was just about to hit the "post reply"; she texted me and said;
"They have told me that I'm dying of intestinal/liver cancer and I have to be put in a hospice to die, unless a miracle happens. I am so scared. Please tell both forums to pray."
--------------------------------
So, I don't know if this means they have finally ruled out surgery, she didn't say. Heartbreaking not to be able to eat or drink though and the tube into her stomach is quite painful. I will ask her later on tonight or tomorrow if they have told her one way or another on the surgery - she is going to nap now and I don't want to disturb her.
Thank you Elizabeth for starting this thread for her and for all RF members who are praying, God Bless.
Once again, I am sorry for the confusion I caused on the other site. Gee, I hope this one isn't confusing as well.

Thank you so much for your update, Diane. That is very upsetting news ... I'm almost speechless right now. I'd been hoping for the best, but this ... well, it's in God's hands and all we can do is lift her up in prayer. I pray that whatever happens from here on out will be with the least amount of discomfort for her.

My hope and prayer is that any prayer for healing is redundant - if the Lord's going to come for Lisa, He might as well just take all of us. No use making two trips. Please do keep us updated - either here or there is fine - we appreciate the news. |

Jim,
Yes, me too; I have been crying so much since she went into the hospital and the doctors told her she was dying. I sit and wait for her to text, praying that it is good news; it seems that with each new text comes more bad news. I am praying for miracles, I know that His will be done and everything is for His Glory, Amen. I do ask Him though, if it would be in His will, that she can bypass death and go in the rapture; for I know she was looking so forward to experiencing it.
As you know, she loves laughter and everyday we would email each other and have the other one in stitches. I have so many emails that one of us says to the other; I gotta go, I'm laughing so hard I can't take it or my stomach hurts too much and I need a break. She is an amazing woman and friend and I miss her so much.

Thank you Benjamin that is very kind of you to say, I'm sorry I didn't see your post before I posted the reply to Jim. I do like your thinking though Benjamin and I'm praying it is soon, today would be great. Shelayne, thank you so very much, I know Leeza would be so moved by the prayers and I do as well.

Diane, thank you for posting to let us know the latest on Lisa. I am praying the Lord will grant her total peace, and take away her fear and her pain. I am temporarily devastated for Lisa, but I am so thankful she knows the Lord.
Lisa's personality comes through in her posts. She is a gentle person, with a great sense of humour. She's also very creative. I can understand your missing her, Diane. I don't know if any of us were as fortunate as you were, to have known her as well as you did.
I'll keep praying, and watching for updates as to how Lisa's doing. God bless you Diane.
Elizabeth

Appreciate the update Diane, and God Bless you for being there for her. Will continue to pray for the Lord's Will be done, what better hands to be in than our Lord and Savior's, whether it be a miracle or if He chooses to have her with him, our loss will be His gain and soon it'll be ours.
AMEN BENJAMIN !!!!...
