Recovery from Illness |
 |
Almost a year ago, our daughter, then 8 ½, became very, very sick. It took almost three months to receive a diagnosis of severe Crohn’s disease. Our sweet child was hospitalized for a week, started on many medications, and began a very strict diet. We got in touch with you and were delighted to hear that Daryl, a former yeshiva mate of my husband, would be davening for her at the Kotel.
I am so pleased to report that our daughter now looks and feels normal. She takes only two medications per day. She is still on her strict diet, but she is doing great. We feel strongly that the davening at the Kotel was integral to her recovery.

I asked you to pray 40 days at the Wall that my friend's lung cancer should go into remission. We still have a way to go but so far the news seems positive. The doctors say that the chemo is working and the tumor is shrinking. She is continuing chemo for a few more months and hopefully that will destroy the tumor altogether. Please don't stop praying!

Susie was originally diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago when she was almost 33 years old. They removed the tumor - it was supposedly small and restricted. She was also treated with chemo and radiation and then pronounced well. Less than 12 months later the cancer returned and infiltrated the bone, obviously a very aggressive tumor. Yet now it appears to have stalled and even become somewhat smaller. Now she feels quite well and she looks terrific.

Our daughter thank G-d is making progress- slowly, but regularly. She is able to make eye contact and in other ways relate to people in a manner that is not typical for children with autism. We have a long, difficult journey ahead of us- but your prayers have helped us find the road to recovery.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2001, and I asked you to pray for a Refuah shleima. My symptoms have improved since Daryl has been davening for me. The possibility was also discovered that my symptoms may be due to heavy metal poisoning, which can be corrected with the help of Ha Shem. Thank you for your kindness & concern.

I asked you to pray at the Wall for my friend, David, who was about to undergo a kidney transplant. I wanted to let you know that everything went great with the operation. I saw his wife last week and she said he's “pishing up a storm” (which means the new kidney is working). It sounds like the donor is also recovering well too..

For the last two years my daughter had been suffering from a serious stomach disorder. She couldn’t eat, the food didn’t digest properly, and she
had nausea, stomach cramps, etc. As a result she couldn’t function properly and lead a normal life, she spent long hours immobile. We went to the doctors, her tests were normal, they gave no treatment. Whatever I knew or people advised to help her we tried. Then we tried the 40 days of prayer- and immediately we found out about a special diet that has changed her life!

I asked you to pray for my newborn nephew who was suffering from convulsions and could not breath properly. He was on a respirator and the doctor's said that there was little chance he would make it. My brother was feeling pretty hopeless. At first he would even tell me the sex of the baby. "What's the point?" he said. But a few days after the 40 days started, the baby's condition began to improve dramatically and he started to breath by himself. That was a few months ago, thank G-d he is now doing well. It is truly a miracle.

I wanted to let you know that my husband is showing improvement in coping with his Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder since the 40 days ended. It is a big relief to me. Thank you,

I signed up yesterday for 40 days at the Wall for my aunt. This is my second time I’ve used Western Wall Prayers for her with success. The first time was a miracle in itself: she has survived inoperable pancreatic cancer even though the doctors predicted she would live only a few weeks. Yesterday she was diagnosed with stomach cancer. Today I get email from you: “Just to let you know, Rav Tzvi Pesach Dan Siegel is praying for her. He is starting this morning.” I just got a phone call that made my day: they do not believe it is cancer any more.

We asked you to pray for our nephew, Shmuel, who was in a really bad way due to his drug problem. Now he seems to be doing much better. We're taking one day at a time. We appreciate your prayers and interest.

Since you prayed for my 7-year-old son, who is autistic, things have been going quite well. We are on track, Hashem is being very kind and benevolent. Thank you for being the angel who coordinates this great mitzva for so many.

My wife Estreya had been suffering from heart and stomach pains. We feared that her condition was dangerous. After the doctors scheduled some serious tests, we asked you to pray for 40 days that the results would be good and my wife would be relieved of her pain. I wanted to let you know that the tests did not show anything serious and my wife is now feeling much, much better. Thank you for helping us,

I asked you to prayer for my twin nephews, who both have autism. There are some very positive results since the prayers started. One of my nephews has shown remarkable improvements and is now saying a few words. The therapists say that this is an amazing achievement for an autistic child such as him. It is a long way forward for them - but this is a very good start in the right direction.

I want to thank you, and my prayer agent Daryl Michels who interceded with strong prayer for my health. For the 40 days that Daryl prayed for me, I discontinued all my medications except for a multi-nutrient. I studied the seven Noahide laws, Psalm 20, and prayed the prayer every day, as you suggested. The terrible pain in my left arm and shoulder is almost gone (I feel it a little sometimes to remind me that I am healed), my high blood pressure and diabetes numbers have dropped dramatically, my eyesight is much improved (I can see much better out of left eye now and it is still improving) and my hair is growing (smile). I am sure that this is God's miracle working power produced through my mighty prayer agent Daryl. What a blessing for me that God lead me to you and the Wall.

Since you prayed for me, my allergies have been improving. I've just finished my last “rush start” allergy shot and that I had no visible reaction, even though the concentration of this shot was 5 billion times stronger than the first. I am on track to being allergy free within a year. Thank you thank you,

I asked you to pray for the recovery of my mother, who was terribly ill with cancer. Now I can report that my mother is doing much, much better. She just visited my house for the first time in months. We went to see the doctor last Thursday and she was amazed at how well Mom is doing. She looked up to the heavens for an explanation. I told her about your service. My mother is still very tired but eating up a storm. She has gained 12 pounds already.

My aunt is doing much better. Before I signed up for the prayers, the doctors said she had cancer. Since then, they discovered it wasn't cancer after all! It must be a miracle! You’re prayers are much appreciated.

Thanks to your prayers, I recovered from life-threatening surgery. The doctors didn’t know whether I’d live or die and I miraculously came out fine. I am happy to say that I am now a fully-functioning human being.

When we asked you to daven for my mother-in-law the doctors were only giving her a couple of months to live. They didn’t believe she could handle surgery, but she did it and now she is doing much, much better. This is just one of many successes after having you pray for us. Thanks again for your great work!!!

Kelsey is doing well after an entire year of surgeries (two of which lasted 24 hours a piece) and life or death situations. I firmly believe that her life was spared due to her prayer as well as her extremely dedicated doctors.

After my mother was diagnosed with cancer, we were in a bit of a panic. I signed her up for 40 days of prayer and miraculously the next test turned out negative - she no longer has cancer. Thank you for your part in this miracle... we will forever be grateful!

My doctors and I thought the worst when I was getting very sick. All signs pointed to a serious medical problem. During the 40 days all sorts of tests were performed and 1 by 1 they came out negative. I just want to cry out in joy. Thank you for your prayers and my renewed faith.

My wife was recently told that she had a potentially cancerous lump in her breast. Thank G-d, even before the 40 day cycle was over, we got word that it was benign. My wife was certain that with the help of G-d, she would be okay, but knowing that we had an agent at the Wall, comforted her (and me) immensely.

My 1 1/2 yr old grand-daughter was hospitalized with a myriad of problems; including trouble breathing, poor muscle tone, tonsils and adenoids and to top it off a serious virus that affected her respiratory system to the point where she needed oxygen to sleep. We immediately got an agent to pray for her and within days she was out of the red zone and able to return home to recuperate. She is doing much better now and I am so grateful for your prayers!

After having prayers said for my eyesight recovery, my sight test results have gotten much better! I am immensely grateful for what you have done and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I was overcome with deteriorating health and tremendous pain when I contacted Western Wall Prayers. During the 40 days my condition improved immensely and I eventually recuperated. I do believe in prayer now and its power to affect everything.

My sister was diagnosed with cancer. It was a shock to us. During the 40 days that an agent prayed for her, a miracle literally happened. The cancer was gone. Doctors see no trace of it anymore. I can't understand it, but I'm not complaining. You do wonderful work.

After my son was diagnosed with a cyst, I signed up for the Western Wall Prayers service. After the 30th day of prayer, his cyst was removed safely and without complications. May you have continued blessing in the work that you do!

I was having serious colon problems. My son was worried, and signed me up for the 40 days' prayer. On the 36th day, the doctors operated and were astounded to find nothing but a small infection. I was also surprised until I found out that my son had sponsored a prayer agent for me. Thank you so much Western Wall Prayers! I am so grateful!

The doctors gave my mother only 2 months to live. She’s 78 years old and weighed only 84 lbs. We knew that if she was ever going to have a chance to beat a recurring case of cancer, she needed to gain weight. We asked you to daven for us that she would gain weight. My 40 days of prayer ended on April 9. Before the 40 days were over, she had already gained 6 lbs and was doing much better. I attribute this improvement a huge degree to my 40-day prayer. I have not been to Israel since 1979; however, I will never forget how it felt to be in Jerusalem and especially by the Wall. For me, it is almost indescribable. I felt the presence of G-d more strongly there than anywhere else. I am very grateful and would like to continue when the first 40-days are up.
