Prayer Requests

Thanks again, everyone; it's so much appreciated! :freehug:

He's back at home and he seems to be improving. He's still on strong antibiotics and pain medication and has to return to have the wound packing removed and changed every couple of days. The red line coming from the wound is fading, and the swelling is still bad but down quite a bit. He's still extremely weak, sick, feverish, and somewhat out of it, but his symptoms have eased up a lot in the last couple of days.

As far as the hospital turning him away, federal law or not, they do it because money means more to them than people's health and well being ever would. Half-assed care or no care at all is pretty much the norm for people with no money/insurance.

 

Thanks, DNY! :freehug:

Yes, it's shameful, but it's a sad reality we're all pretty much used to in this country. We all need to pray about that as well.

 

Prayers & positive thoughts on the way, babe. xx

 

Please pray for my brother and his family. His 17 year old step-son took his own life this week, so they need all the prayers they can get right now.




Update on my other brother with the infected dog bite...
The good news: they were able to fight off the infection, and other than a slight limp and severe scarring his leg is okay.
The bad news: the reason he stopped taking proper care of his leg after the attack was because the dumbass starting doing drugs again. His excuse was that he did it to deal with the pain, but ultimately all it did was land his butt in jail once again...this time with federal charges. I keep praying he'll get the help he needs and get his life together and keep it that way.

 

Thanks, everyone; I appreciate it so much. There's been so much craziness going on in the family, it's exhausting!

DNY, I'm glad your brother is doing better, and I appreciate your wish for my brother to achieve the same. It's hard watching him throwing his life away for that stuff, but I'm hoping he'll get the treatment he's been trying to get for so long. TDC has the treatment programs, but I think they prefer the profit of repeat offenders over helping screw-ups become productive members of society.

 

I just got a phone call and found out my baby brother has tested positive for covid-19. I don't know any details other than that yet, but I'd appreciate any prayers on his behalf. Thank you.

 

Thank you; I appreciate it.
