Prayers please for my little brother.

Prayers please for my little brother.

Postby kate3 » December 15th, 2011, 10:47 pm

My little brother went into hospital 2 weeks ago to have spinal surgery. They sent him home with a staff infection. He went back in to be opened up and scraped. He was given heavy duty anti-biotics and sent home again. Two days ago he was back back in because he is no better. Yesterday they put a central line into his heart to make the anti-biotics work faster. We don't know what happens next if this doesn't work.
If you could say a prayer for him please I would be very grateful. We would love to see him home for Christmas. We would just love to see him home and so would his wife and 3 children. Thank you.

Kate, he and all of his family are in my prayers. I really hate to hear of his troubles and that he is not getting better yet. I pray that he will start to improve both quickly and completely.

Dear Lord, Even while we are praying, please heal Kate's brother. Completely take away the infection and heal the corrective work on his back. As a blessing to his family, would you also
Make it possible for him to be home with his family. As we celebrate the birth of your son, what a special gift this would be for them.

As always, to your honor and glory, amen.


Praying for you all!!

Thank you all. Lovely prayer Retta.
There is no change yet so still waiting. I have been a little confused about them putting a central line into his heart for anti-biotics. Until I realised he has always had a damaged heart and lungs so I think they are protecting it from infection. His heart and lungs were damaged when he was 3 months old. He was born 8 weeks early came home in 2 weeks. Then when he was 3 months old he spent 7 months in ICU with double pneumonia. This scarred his lungs and damaged his heart so glad he was never a smoker. He had his first heart attack at 26, he has had 3 now. That is why I think they are protecting his heart. Getting information out of him about his health without getting a funny reply is impossible. He never stops making me laugh. Bless you all.

Latest note from little brother on FB. I swear he could be dying and he would still be making jokes. I am so glad he is home and thankful to you all. The note the day before was. Four walls, a bathroom and a bed. Is this prison?

I am coming home , you Beauty!
Yep just waiting for my ride, I have some nurses dropping in home daily to change my I/V Pump for about a month but at least I am home for Christmas. :-)
