8 days ago I made a post about a sickness which I just couldn't seem to kick. At this point, I have had it for 23 days, my father for 18 days, and my mother for over 2 months. I believe it's been a combination of at least 2-3 viral and bacterial infections, and maybe more, which have been tag teaming us for this extended period, evidenced by the phenomenon where two of us will feel moderately better one day, and then much worse the next, while the third person is in opposite rotation (this has happened 4 times already). It got bad enough that 8 days ago I temporarily moved in with my parents so we can do what we can for each other until we're through with this
Only my dad can work form home, and none of us have any sick days remaining. Bills are piling up. My mothers hair is falling out, and my father is losing weight. We have been heavily afflicted with every symptom under the sun: headache and headcold (I've discovered that there is a difference, and you can have both at once), night chills and night sweats, fever, lack of apetite, brain fog, body and muscle aches, runny nose and heavy sneezing, heavy coughing (wet and dry) to the point of gagging, extreme sinus congestion, ear aches, vomiting, bowel and digestion symptoms, high rate of dehydration, total exhaustion, nausea, and there's probably a few I can't remember.
Worse yet, for everyone but my mother this started with our collective landing in France for my sister's wedding. So far, to my knowledge about half of everyone who attended were showing symptoms at the end of our 3 day french-american meetup.
Every time I've come to our little group for prayer and healing, wonderful miracles have taken place. When my 62 year old father fell off a ladder in his shop in the middle of the night, hitting the back of his head square on a hardend steel rod, I asked for your prayers, and miraculously my father was out of the hospital in a week and has since had a *full recovery with zero lasting afflictions*. When on my mothers side my great grandmother passed, and then one of my cousins died, and then another cousin’s husband died all within a month, your prayers for the comfort of my family ended multiple years-long grudges between people who were not on speaking terms. When my sister-in-law and mother of 6 had an abdominal pregnancy which she carried to term, resulting in C-section, double digit blood transfusions and over 2 dozen hours of operational surgery, your prayers delivered to us a completely healthy baby, and an alive and recovering mother. When my grandfather was spiraling down the last stage of Alzheimer's, quickly losing his lucidity and basic functions, your prayers made his death graceful, comfortable and dignified compared to the three years of consistent decline, and you also made time for all of my brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles to visit and say their goodbyes before he passed on.
So here I am again, for the 5th time, asking for your righteous thoughts and prayers. You people have changed my lfe dramatically time and time again! And I also must ask, if there is ANYTHING that you need or simply want prayer for, please ask! I would like nothing more than to share this amazing blessing that is our combined prayers with the rest of you.
God bless.
