My 95 year old mother and I are into the 19th day of dealing with a difficult case of the flu. Although we had flu shots as we do every year, the variety of flu we contracted must have not been protected by the vaccination. The fevers have been gone for over a week, but the cough just is not lifting. It's much less but the coughing just won't come to an end. My mother progressed to the beginning of pneumonia but that seems to be gone after treatment with antibiotics.
My mother has been to the doctor 3 times, and I have been twice.
But so far we have not been able to get completely finished with this flu.
We are asking for prayers that the flu will finish running its course and that we can start to get strong and well again.
Lord when other methods fail, you are still able to heal. Thank you for being a healing spirit for Marilyn and her Mom. In Jesus’ name.
Prayers for all

This is an update for everyone. Although the coughing has not come to a complete end, we are both feeling quite a bit better in that regards.
I’m regaining my energy. Mom is showing some improvement in strength. Her appetite is getting better but not quite back to normal yet. I’d appreciate prayers for that.
I’m hoping we will be well enough to go to church on Sunday. We haven’t been able to go in 3 weeks. I am missing it so much.
My Mom’s 96 birthday is on Saturday, but I think we will postpone celebrating it for about a week out.
Thank you everyone for your prayers. It really helps.
May both you and your mom be healed by the compassionate touch of the hand of Jesus Christ.
Prayers for both of you to recover from this bad stretch. I got a bad case of bronchitis, myself, in Vegas and it took months to get over it.
Prayers sent MarilynBr. :-)
Prayers up.
Notre Père qui es aux cieux,
Que ton Nom soit sanctifié, que ton règne vienne,
Que ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donne-nous aujourd'hui notre pain de ce jour.
Pardonne-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi à ceux qui nous ont offensés.
Et ne nous soumets pas à la tentation, mais délivre-nous du mal.
Car cest à Toi quappartiennent le règne, la puissance et la gloire,
pour les siècles des siècles. Amen
Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Prayers for God’s blessings on all.
Prayers up for you and your mother.
May Mary, Mother of us all, help and protect your dear mother.
God bless.
