A Friend and his daughter have MRSA, Prayer humbly requested
vanity | April 16, 2009 | little jeremiah

Posted on 04/16/2009 7:01:10 PM PDT by little jeremiah

A friend I know via the internet told me yesterday that he, and now his little daughter, have a strain of MRSA that is resistant to "almost everything". His seems to be improving somewhat, but hers is not. Although I have never met him, he is almost like a brother because of the wonderful conversations we have had about God, truth and the meaning of life.

If anyone would like to pray for their wellbeing, I would greatly appreciate it, as other than prayer, I can do nothing to help them, and ultimately, the Supreme Lord is our only refuge.

Thank you for any prayers on their behalf - my friend's name is George, and his daughter is Emily.

Prayers up!

Had a G'daughter hospitalized with MRSA about 4 years ago. She was in the hospital about 10 days. She was on a variety of back to back IV's of super-antibiotics that didn't seem to be working. They were going to have to operate to rupture the boil, which was on her knee & caused her little leg to swell up like an elephant leg. One night she wet the bed (never does that), next morning there was blood everywhere... scared the snot out of us. Turned out for some reason the cyst opened and drained.

I will continue praying!

I have sent the prayers you requested.

I went in for heart surgery. During surgery I suffered a stroke and ended up with MRSA, resulting in the opening of my chest a total of 4 times.

Instead of the anticipated 8 day stay in the hospital, I was there for 2 long and painful months. I continued IV antibiotics for about 3 more months after I was released.

I am told that mine is chronic, but it’s stayed hidden for about a year now.

I wanted you to know that this may take awhile. And yes, the prayers worked.

I have a friend who had a bad MRSA case a few years ago caused by stepping on a nail that went thru his boot and sock. He recovered well after a few months of treatment at the local contagious disease center. I hope God answers our prayers and saves your friends as well. God Bless them!

Prayers Up for George and Emily

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Oh Gater113 what an incredible ordeal you went through and are still (even thought the MRSA has been ‘dormant’ for about a year). Prayers for your continued health. Thanks for sharing your experience with us all and also the OP.

Tell your friends to go to the drug store and get STRIAGHT Tea Tree oil. Soak the infected area FOUR time a day. WASH ALL clothes that have been in contact with them in soap and tea tree oil. ALL strains of MRSA succumb to this treatment.
