when we hear that someone is ill, we immediately ask for the choleh's hebrew name to daven for them. the two most common forms of davening for a choleh is by inseting their name with in the yehi ratzon of refainu and of course adding them to a tehillim list and saying tehillim for them.
in terms of tehillim vs. refainu, in general , people on the refainu list are in more of a serious condition, but in the case of certain severe illnesses where once declared "cured" but not necessarily in remission or whatever the case may be, they should remain on the tehillim list indefinitely and with anything, each situation is "case by case" so discuss with your rav or rebbetzin to see if a certain circumstance needs special attention.

additionally, regarding this, i think it was Rav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach (but i dont want to quote incorrectly) who says that for refainu, we should insert names of those who we know personally
ReplyDeletei just released a new site which allows you to create a profile for a sick person and have friends and family sign up to daven for the person and keep up to date with updates.
