Dear Friends,
as some of you will know: my twin brother Thomas has been dangerously ill for many days with COVID.
I posted a prayer thread, and you were very generous with your prayers. Thank you!
Well now to this current thread.
Tom has been on an intubator for a week. Today they drained his lungs and discovered lung scarring (fibrosis).
They have taken him off intubation to see if he can breath without it. They put him onto an oxygen pressure mask.
His O2 sats went down. They moved him to a ventilator: his oxygen seemed promising on the ventilator but then started going down again.
His kidneys started failing so they started dialysis. This started improving his oxygen count and kidney count.
The problem now is that his lungs are not doing the normal carbon dioxide processing.
We have discussed his treatments with nurses and they have all been completely routine.
His body does not seem to be responding despite the extra help. They will keep him on them as long as he responds. However his heart could stop at any minute.
He’s currently still alive but it will be hour by hour.
So of your charity - dear FRiends - please pray that Tom will be healed. Please also pray for his immortal soul.
Prayers for your twin brother. May the Lord see fit to restore his health back to normal,and bless him in the process. Amen
Abba Father, we humbly beseech you O Lord to pour out your grace and mercy upon Thomas, and if it is your will that he live, then please bring healing to him quickly. But if it be your will that his soul depart this vale of tears, then please bring him to yourself quickly that he might dwell in heavenly bliss. And we pray for Thomas’s loving twin. Please Lord bring him the peace and comfort that only you can, and help him O Lord to abide by your will whatever it may be. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
Prayers.
Your Brother is in my Prayers. In Jesus’ Name I Pray. Amen.
Praying.
Prayers up!

My prayers are offered here Lord for Tom, that you let him know you are with him, that he will hear you and find the peace and the strength in you he needs.
Prayers are up for you both, all the best.
I join my prayers with all the saints in all times and all places for the delivery of your brother. May God comfort you and provide healing wisdom to those charged with his care. And please know the medical doctors and nurses are doing the right and proper things for him so trust in their wisdom and discernment.
blessings be upon you.
