1. Just did

just as I pray for him every day.

[FrenchieCat]

2. Praying.....

and crying. :cry:

[CountAllVotes]

3. ask St. Therese to help him

she was made a doctor of the Church under Pope John Paul II.

She is a powerful saint!

www.littleflower.org FYI

:dem: :kick:

25. Be careful!...You'll be catching all manner of scorn from the professsional atheists here!.n/t

[CountAllVotes]

26. Teddy is Catholic

and I am sure he knows who St. Therese is.

It could not hurt. :)

[whathehell]

29. I know... and I'm with you! n/t

[stopbush]

27. Thankfully, Teddy is in the hands of competent human doctors

who can do the best that we can expect for him.

The prayers are a quaint idea, of course, but when push comes to shove, do you wish Teddy the best doctors available or the best invisible spirits to get him through this crisis? He needs those doctors right now. The gods? Not so much.

Get real. What's wrong with looking to real live beings to help Teddy?

[whathehell]

28. You "get real"...at least long enough to read the post correctly

..I said nothing that could be remotely construed as pitting doctors against "invisible spirits"..or "gods"

I was simply commenting on the poster's bravery in assuming she could safely invoke anything "religious" around here...For the record, I'm agnostic, but I dislike the knee-jerk insults that are routinely hurled at believers on this board.

[Peregrine Took]

[Kajsa]

7. I did-

Thank you for this thread.

[Divine Discontent]

8. God bless you,Teddy!

He looked a little confused and stressed at the start of the luncheon, if anyone else saw that, I did. The massive nature of this event isn't good on people who are ill already, as it's such an exciting day, and the blood is pumping.


God bless you, Teddy!

[Midlodemocrat]

9. Have been since he announced he was ill. I love that man.

He's a true American treasure.

[Dennis Donovan]

10. Please get well, Senator Kennedy!!

My God - how, unbelieveable.:(

CNN reporting Senator Byrd also had a health issue???

[rvablue]

11. Prayers for the Lion of the Senate! Get well, Teddy! n/t

[Libertyfirst]

12. The gods that are can read my tears.

[FLAprogressive]

13. ((((Ted)))) -- let's all be grateful that he got to see this day.

[Ishoutandscream2]

17. God forbid, if this is the day we lose Ted

I will thank the heavens that he got to see Obama inaugurated. But please, let Ted hang on for a while longer, please!

[Individualist]

14. Heartfelt prayers for The Lion

[curious one]

15. Done. We need him now more than ever to help Obama and big task ahead.

19. Praying for Teddy...God forbid we lose him on this wonderful day

:cry:

[cascadiance]

21. I sure as hell hope not too!

But if it is his time, then he can give some timely comments personally to his brother up there in the afterlife that his prediction of us having a man of color as president was accurate today, albeit a little early (RFK had said 30 years instead of 40 years)...

[Ocracoker16]

20. will pray for him

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Latest comments from KO seem to indicate that Teddy is okay.

Thank God.

[backscatter712]

23. NBC mentioned both Byrd and Kennedy are OK.

Kennedy's in the hospital getting looked at, but he's awake and alert, and apparently spoke to President Obama on the phone already.

Byrd apparently is also OK.

Good news.

[Cronopio]

24. ABC (Charles Gibson) reported a source close to Kennedy that he is in "stable condition".
