Administrators Gail Posted March 5, 2007 Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2007 I would like to ask for prayer for a friend of my daughter's who has had bacterial lumps growing inside his body. The doctors at first thought that he picked them up from a trip to Mexico but now seem to have abandoned this theory. The lumps are like noisome boils. He has a cluster of them in his throat but they are popping up in other spots. The pain is excruciating and they are using morphine to help but it gives its own side effects. The doctors fear that if the cluster in his throat break that they may damage his jugular vein and he may die. They also fear one appearing in the region of the heart or brain, either of which would also kill him. He doesn't know why this is happening to him, why God is allowing this. Please pray that he may have peace as to the why... Thank you so much for your prayers Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Taylor Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Praying! How bizarre! Maybe the doctors should consult with experts at somewhere like the Mayo Clinic or John Hopkins and see if anyone there has ever heard of such a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Nan Posted March 5, 2007 Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2007 Does this man have some source within his body that is throwing out these infections - a source within the heart is a possibility but I am sure the doctors would already have checked for that (bacterial endocarditis). And I will pray for him too, of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Gail Posted March 11, 2007 Author Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2007 Will check tomorrow I am planning on emailing the boy myself, just to let him know that we are thinking of him. He's an awesome kid Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

Administrators Gail Posted April 3, 2007 Author Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2007 Update on this boy... His recent lumps are not bursting anymore, which is of some encouragement. He still is in a lot of distress from the heavy doses of medication. They give him blackouts and nasty mood swings. He cannot work and his friends are taking care of him. I am hoping that sometime soon we will hear of his health turning for the better In the meantime his grandma (magilly46) is asking for continued support. I am going to email him again soon and prayers are still in order for this bright young man.

Here is a quote from an email from the boy himself: Quote: im doing so well and have no more iv left its pretty well all cleard up its hard to believe its almost over a few checkups and we will know for sure im not sure when the last time i was this happy Praise God- for that was a LONG illness! He's been sick since last October! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
