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.
Joining you in this beautiful and specific prayer to God for Tom. In Jesus’ precious name, I too pray for Tom’s healing.
Joining you in prayer for your brother and also prayers for you, in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
As all creation was spoken into existence, You Lord dwell within us and so I speak from Your power that the Covid virus in Thomas would begin to evaporate from his body and that his lungs will function just as intended when Thomas was formed in the womb by Your will.
We come out against this Covid virus in unison for the glory of Your name, may it be vanquished. We Love you Jesus, we look to You for all things in regards to life and godliness.
In Your service my Lord,
Amen! Amen!
Praying for your dear Brother Thomas. Dear Lord—please lead and guide his doctors and medical team.
And prayers for strength for you.
Thank you dear FRiends for these heartfelt and potent prayers.
May God bless you all for your charity to a stranger.
Prayers for Thomas! May Our Lord bring healing, Grace, and comfort to the whole family during this stressful time, in Jesus name.
Father in Heaven -
We ask in the name of your Son that you would grant to this frail human the ability to heal. We would also ask Lord, whatever is your will, the family members, especially agere_contra, the full portion of strength for whatever is to come.
In the name of Jesus, we ask this prayer.
Prayers up! I was recently in a similar position as you and offer prayers for Thomas and your entire family.
As someone with lungs and kidneys damage by COVID, your brother and family are in my prayers!
Prayers of healing for Thomas. Prayers for his medical staff. Prayers for his family- Your peace that passes all human understanding. Your love that surpasses every need with mercy and grace.
Jesus, Help Thomas in his every need.
(((((Sending Prayers)))))
Prayers for you all
Prayers offered up in Jesus name. Amen!
I will keep your brother and your entire family in my prayers.
Prayers for you and your dear brother my FRiend!
Prayers up
NHS? good luck getting any “unconventional” treatment. Or “controversial”.
Amen.
I am so sorry, agere_contra. May the Lord bless and keep you and your brother.
Prayers on the way.
