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.
Amen. Praying for Tom and his family. Lord hear our prayers.
Dear Lord Jesus,
With just one touch from Your powerful hand, You have healed the sick and raised the dead.
How amazing is Your Lordship over all the earth. How powerful is Your redeeming love. How great was Your sacrifice on the cross to bring us forgiveness and hope.
By Your stripes I ask that You heal Tom’s body. Standing before Your throne, I ask for his restoration. May his life and wellness grow in fullness until it overflows.
In Your holy name I pray,
Amen
I pray the good Lord will heal your brother. Amen

PRayers up for Thomas.
+ Jesus, you endured the agony in the garden, the scourging at the pillar and the excruciation upon the Cross. +
+ You endured more than these pains, for you took on the immense weight of our sin and our death +
+ You did this all for our sake. Jesus. +
+ For the sake of your Sorrowful Passion, restore our lost innocence. Heal our poor mortality. +
+ And today we pray that you will heal and have mercy on my brother Thomas. +
+ If he has been estranged from you, forgive him. If he has not known you, may he know you now with great joy. +
+ We humbly pray that he be healed this evening. And if this cannot be, may he draw his next breath in the sweetness of Heaven. +
+ In your Holy name, Amen. +
Prayers for you and your Brother.
