Many people email me because they found me just by stumbling, trying to find info. about BP in children
and it's almost like fate and I treat it very sacred, so if you have a child, a child in need of a prayer. please email me.
It would be an honor to post your request here.

Tough times don't last... Tough people do!!!
My name is Gary Hogan. Some of you receiving this know me some do not. My wife, Cindy, is 32 years old and
has just been diagnosed 3 days ago with stage 4 cervical cancer and her chances for survival are very slim. She was pregnant
with our second child and had miscarried recently at 3 months, and now we know why. This is a request for you to forward this
e-mail to everyone you know asking for prayer. The more people that pray for her to be healed, the better. Pray and forward.
It only takes a second to hit "forward". Please do it and don't delete this, your prayer can and perhaps will save her
life. Please pray and ask everyone you know to pray for the HEALING of Cindy, removal of all cancer in her body
so she may enjoy all that life has to offer, and to continue to be the wonderful mother to our 5-year-old son, Michael.
The power of Prayer is unsurpassed and I want the whole world to have her in their prayers the next few weeks. God will
hear our cry. Please do not be offended by my plea. This is only a request for your help. Thank you from the bottom of my
heart for reading this and helping with Our request for healing.! No words can express the power we have when we each
do a little to come together.
Regards,
Cindy's in-love husband - Gary
Thank you, and please send it to the
far reaches of our world.

This one is actually for my own child, who had a due date of 6/24/04 but unfortunatly, he or she
was taken away from us at 11 weeks. This was an unexpected pregnancy, but one that was a welcomed addition to
our family. To be told from an ultrasound that your child's heart had stopped beating was the worst day of my life.
When I was told of the complications of genetics - I felt more at peace. I could understand and accept much better,
but this child is missed. There is a song that much reminds me of how I felt and do feel about this child and I leave
it with you all here:
- Is there life after love? Some things are uncertain, but some things I am sure of....
like Angels in Heaven and God up above, is there life after love? - Shania Twain.

that something was not right with our son.We have been on a roller coaster ride with him ,through having up to 20 seizures

He can be the most loving , caring person , Funny , always loves
to play tricks on you !
It has been hard for his siblings too , Jessica ( 9 ) and
Joshua ( 5 ) , as they bear the brunt of his emotions.
Could you say a prayer for us,

Please send prayers to Betsy and her family for her precious daughter, Emma. Emma will be going
to a place outside of her home that will hopefully be more beneficial at this time so she can get the best help and treatment
possible. Emma knows this isn't "camp". She knows she will be gone for awhile. Besty and her family have
mixed feelings. On the one hand you have relief that the family can now start to mend. As a sibling as once felt - "Emma has
ruined everything for me most of my life." We all know it's not just Bipolar Disorder. We all know, BP can destroy
the family. I give my hat off to Besty and her family. Although this is a very difficult decision - I know they are doing
what is BEST for Emma and their family. God Bless Emma and may the Angels watch over her as she goes through this process.
God Bless your family Besty.
Hugs,
Jen

This page, this website is for parents of children with mental challenges in particular - ADHD and
Bipolar Disorder. It is amazing how the words "Prayer List for Families" can be found and we are found on the www by
ANYONE looking for a PRAYER for a loved one. I am glad and honored although someone might ask to be included
has nothing to do with the mental illnesses our children's face felt enough about their loved one to just......ask.
So, this one is for a special, teeny, tiny little angel, just born not too long ago. In her Grandpa's words:
Josslyn Rene Cappuccio born 7/03/04 & fighting for her life

This prayer request is not related to Bipolar Disorder or ADHD, etc. BUT - I felt it proper to put
it on here. This girl needs prayers her way. She has a lot of life to live, just graduated high school. Read her
Aunts' request please:
I have a prayer request. Would you pray for my niece Michelle. She graduated from
High School on June 4th and on June 5th her eye began to swell. Last Saturday she had an emergency CAT Scan. She
has a tumor behind her left eye. Monday she visited a Ophthalmologist and he confirmed the findings.
On Tuesday she had a MRI and they found some suspicious spots on the lining of her brain. On Wednesday she went
to a Neurologist. He stated that he believes that she has a Neural Fibroma. They did lots of blood work looking
at the markers for cancer. The test came back with good results. No indication of cancer. The Neurologist
stated that he believes that it is benign, and at this point is not pressing on the optic nerve. He believes that
she will have no vision loss. Today at 12:45 they will be doing a biopsy of the tumor. They will retract her !
eyelid and go behind the eye for the biopsy. On July 9th she will have surgery for the removal of the tumor. She
is not a believer. Please pray that the tumor is indeed benign and that she would come to the realization that she needs
a personal relationship with Christ.
Thanks
Karen

In her own words:
I love that you do this for people. Tristan could use some prayers
right now, too. Alot is going on in his life, and more is to come. We are still trying to get meds figured out
(he's been dx'd since '02, but the bipolar only came at the start of this year -- and the meds are an ever-changing evolution
for dosage) ... he has been losing teachers all school-year - his teacher of the hearing impaired a few months, and now,
with only a month left in school, he has a new 2nd grade teacher (both due to health issues) ... myhubby is on a different
work schedule now where he works a different rotation every week, leaving the kids without seeming him for days at a time
... due to the Navy, we are moving to CT this summer, and he's just now beginning to fear it.
This is alot for any child to handle, let alone a child such as Tristan.
I'm sure prayers would help us all.
Prayers are with Tristan and your family, Carrie.
Hugs,
Jen

Beverly, Mom to Kaden and her family are going through some very tough challenges in their
lives at this time. Kaden is in the hospital and we are hoping and praying that this will be the time, the Dr's are
able to help him get stable. It's never easy to leave a child in the hospital, but often it is the last resort.
God Bless you Kaden and your family.

"Sparky", the "real Mom" to Bryan and her family is facing some really tough challenges at
this time in Bryan's life. Bryan is in the hospital due to erratic behavior due to Bipolar Disorder. Medications
he was on just are not right. Please keep Bryan and his family in your prayers.
This lady has bent over backwards for this child and this child deserves like all of our angels a
chance of a happy and mentally, physically healthy life.
God Bless Bryan and his family.

Laura, Mom to Landon is 7 years old and suffers from ADHD and Bipolar Disorder.
Landon has had several "bad" weeks at school. He went through some medication changes and is no longer ranging thankfully
but the school has decided they do not want him there and that it is not an "appropriate" placement, so we are having
to do battle with them. In the meantime, Landon is not receiving the services he needs at
school and is getting behind academically. Laura and her family have a strong faith in the Lord and know the battle
ultimately belongs to Him. They would appreciate prayers and thoughts their way as they fight for Landon's rights!
My thoughts and prayers go out to you Laura and your family. Of all things to have
to go on, this is one that should not be. Landon is very lucky to have you as his loving, supportive parents.
Hugs,
Jen :)

Jackie and Mark of CT have an adopted son named Larry. Jackie and Mark knew Larry had challenges
and took him into their loving home so that he could be a part of a loving family that would honor, protect and nuture him.
Larry has not been dx'd with Bipolar but it is clear to his parents that he is showing rapid cycling to the point where they
are trying to seek immediate help at their hospital. This child is on meds, but it's obvsiously not enough or absolutly
not what will help him so please send a prayer and a hug in your thoughts to CT as this wonderful and giving couple try to
help this precious little boy.
God Bless,
Jen

Karen of Ohio, Mom to Billy, emailed me specifically to ask for prayers for Billy. Just as
the two Angels below this post, Billy is in as Karen calls it, "The medication nightmare zone." Trying to take care
of the focusing problem by an increase of Concerta but then having problems with Bipolar symptoms, so increasing
Seroquel but now Billy cannot focus again. Karen, I feel your frustrations and it must be tough on Billy. Readers,
remember this Angel in your prayers. Karen says through all of this, he is smiling and laughing - what a strong
Angel he must be. :) Let us hope the Dr. can get it balanced! Bless you Billy, Karen and family.
Hugs,
Jen

God Bless you Christopher and family.

Kim of the Gulf Coast has a son who was a blessing from the start as she saved him from a life that
could have been devistating. He is an adopted child, but really - he was born to Kim, just got the stork basket mixed up.
:) Little Dylan is 3 years old and is going through the roller coaster stage as well. He is fortunate to be so young
and to have a BP diagnosis. Prray for little Dylan as he and his parents walk this life of challenges because in the
end, victory over this illness will happen. God Bless Kim, Dylan and Family.

Kathleen in Illinois wrote me about her son Danny. Danny is currently in the hospital right now under
going evaluation.
Danny has ADHD and Bipolar Disorder, so let's hope the Drs can get it right and get him on meds that
will help Danny lead a healthier, happier life that all children deserve to have.
God Bless you Danny. Kathleen and family, keep the faith.

Barbara, Mom to Emily age 8 share some things in common.
Both are struggling with ADD and Bipolar Disorder. Like a boat lost at sea - the two of them
hold onto each other like the wood that holds the boat together struggling, drifting refusing to sink. My thoughts
and prayers are with you two. A special connection that I know many share, we just do not know about them. Many parents
share the same difficulties their children do. Stay vigilent and strong - you two will see it through.

Kathy in Mass. Thank you for letting me know about 11 year old Austin. I will be thinking
about you and your family as Austin makes his way back to the hospital. I hope THIS time, the Dr's are able to get a
"handle" of his condition and that whatever treatment they provide, will help him to become a healthier and happier young
man. Bless you and your family.

Jan in Illinois, this is for you, for your sons' who've
been hospitalized 20 times in the past 14 years combined, I give prayers to you and them that they continue to find
themselves,, find their callings, both settle down to the ground, firmly planting their feet and let that
"bear" inside of them hybernate, so they can continue to lead happier, healthier llives. God Bless you, sons and Mom. You
are a Mom who never gave up and I can tell, never will. I know all who read our prayer list will think about
you and your sons.
