URGENT: PLEASE PRAY for a friend who has "flesh-eating bacteria" disease [Update #99]

Posted on 05/17/2014 1:35:40 PM PDT by pax_et_bonum

A dear friend of ours has been hospitalized and had emergency surgery this morning.

The doctors removed the muscle of his right forearm and most of the tissue around his left hip. They say that he will not be able to use the fingers of his right hand and that he will not walk again.

They say the disease will remain in his system for up to six weeks, so his ordeal is far from over.

Please pray for him. He is a very, very good and kind man.

Our friend is a master electrician, and he is a young man.

Thank you very much for sharing the info about hyperbaric O2 treatment.

We will definitely look into this treatment and tell his family about it.

Thanks again!

Jesse has many more friends than we knew about!

He’s very quiet about the very many people he visits and helps, many of them elderly with limited incomes.

He often spends entire days, even weeks, helping out, and never mentions it to us.

I’m fortunate to be his friend.

Thanks for your prayers, DL!

You`re welcome. Most of those really nasty bugs are anaerobic anyway and the oxygen helps with tissue regeneration, just don`t over do it. A good Doctor will be able to direct the therapy well enough.

Thank you for the update. I will continue to keep Jesse and his caregivers in my prayers. We’ll take good news in whatever increments they may come, right?

I’ll also say a prayer for you and your hubby/family...that your move goes without a hitch. Are you still going to be near Jesse?

Blessings to all.

UPDATE:

Doctors say that because white blood cell count is still high that the infection is still in Jesse’s body and that they will do testing to look for the source of the infection, including testing heart and lungs. Also, surgery to clean wounds must be postponed because of this.

Good news is that they say Jesse’s wounds are healing well. (Thank you all for your prayers!)

Yesterday the physical therapy called for Jesse to try standing and moving across the room using a walker. He wasn’t able to support himself, but he’s still very weak from the illness and being bedridden for so long. 

He’s optimistic and extremely grateful for the prayers and the concern of others for him. I plan to print this thread sometime this weekend and get it to him, so please feel free to post messages to Jesse!

Once again, THANK YOU ALL FOR PRAYING!!!

((((HUGE GROUP HUG!!!))))

Much, much love to all -
pax
