I firmly believe in the power of prayer so at this point, I enlisted the help of my friends, family, animal communication specialists, and healing groups. I truly believe that no cat has ever had so many prayers or healing energy sent on their behalf as my cat Rumble did.
First, I said my own prayers, as I had done from day one. My husband and I prayed for Rumble every time we came together in prayer: before meals, after soccer games, before bedtime, at church. Anytime I had a quiet moment throughout my day, I said a prayer for Rumble. I was thankful for him being in my life, thankful for his health thus far, and I asked God to place his healing hands on Rumble to help him through this ordeal. I also asked for knowledge for all the doctors involved that they would have the skills to proceed successfully and the compassion to care for Rumble as much as I loved him. I've seen miracles; I know God uses them. I just hoped He saw me worthy enough to answer, "Yes".
Second, I contacted my Animal Communicator, and friend, Naomi McDonald. You can find information about Naomi at http://www.brendamcdonald.com/ and her blog at http://www.shamanswisdom.blogspot.com/ Naomi immediately responded, talked to Rumble, talked to me, and met with me the following Saturday to discuss what she read.
Third, I got on my email and I let everyone I know that I needed help. I emailed everyone in my animal communication classes from Naomi and one of them pointed me towards an online Distant Healing Network at http://www.the-dhn.com/ The DHN is an organization of many hundreds of complementary therapists. They are spread all across the world and volunteer to give their time freely, accepting requests for help to ease the suffering of all who ask. Within an hour of submitting my request, I got a response. Rumble had been assigned to a team with members across the globe so I know he would be covered in prayer, and healing energy, at all times throughout the day.
Fourth, I needed some personal healing. A HUGE part of my life (apart from Rumble) was coming to an end and I needed a new focus. As I look back on it, this organization that I was involved in ended precisely when Rumble got sick, otherwise I would have broken down. If I had to keep up my obligations with this group AND focus on Rumble, I simply wouldn't have made it. Both my friends and family all said they would pray for Rumble and me and I didn't understand exactly why they thought I needed it until later.
I'm thankful for all the prayers and healing energy that I received both from my friends and family.
