This past Sunday, my neighbor was hospitalized with the corona virus. He is elderly and has a serious comorbidity affecting multiple organ systems. Pewsterspouse and I were in his house briefly on Friday. We shared some watermelon with his spouse on the porch while he stayed inside. So far, we are fine. Please pray for him and his family who were in closer contact than with him than us. His name is Jim.
Lord, watch over Jim and his family. Give them the strength to get through this illness. Hear our prayer. In Jesus name, Amen.

Prayers said, and will continue. It is good that treatments are more refined than they were early in the epidemic, but his risk is high. Lord, in your mercy, preserve the life of your child Jim, guide and direct his medical team, and give comfort to his family and friends.
ReplyDeleteLord be with his immune system to fight this off and guide the health care professionals.
DeleteGood news thus far. After an infusion of donor plasma form someone who had survived the virus, my neighbor is improving and was sent home from the hospital. Pray that his breathing remains stable and thank the Lord for his intervention with the medical team and the donor of the plasma.

DeletePraise God for this improvement!
ReplyDeletePewster, if you and Mrs. Pewster were in that house Friday last week, this is the time you'd come down with symptoms if you were going to. I pray that won't happen, and I pray Jim's family are also all right.
ReplyDeleteWe are fine thank you, but everyone in Jim's household is sick now.
DeleteLord of all mercies, continue to protect Jim and all his family, and restore them to health.
