My deepest appreciation to all of you for your prayers and good wishes for my brother. I’m always so impressed by the way FReepers come together to offer spiritual support to each other!
While I’m not on-site with him, I’m glad to report that he is off the ventilator. However, as of this morning he was only able to communicate with a right-handed thumbs-up or down and weak hand squeeze. Attempts at speech are just groans. His left side is completely out, so far. The real irony is that, when the stroke occurred, he was undergoing deep-brain-stimulation surgery for his Parkinson’s Disease. So the surgery that was supposed to make him “better” has (for now) actually made things worse! He is only 59 yrs old and has myriad other physical/psychological health issues.
FRiends, I’m so grateful for your response. May I ask that you continue to include “workerbee’s brother” in your prayers.
Thank you for the good news update FRiend.
Prayers continuing!
Certainly will continue to pray. Keep up the good fight. Everything counts and not a single prayer is wasted.
I’m glad to hear your brother is off the ventilator. I will continue to pray for his complete recovery.
I’m sorry to hear about your brother’s health issues. I’m joining in prayer for his continued healing and recovery, and for your family’s strength, support, and well-being. ^/\^
Prayers up!
Praise and Trust the LORD in All Things at All Times.
Lord Jesus Christ, give strength to Thy servant known to us as workerbee’s brother and restore him to good health.
In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
That sounds like an improvement! I will continue to pray for his recovery.
Dear Lord God, please heal this dear man and pour out your great blessings upon him and his entire Family.
In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray.
