SOS for Prayers!

Michael's cough has gotten worse and the doctors now suspect that something viral or bacterial is resting in his lungs.  He has moved to the ICU where they can keep a very close watch on him.  This is a very serious complication for Mike.  A team of doctors has consulted on the probable cause and we will be administering large dose of antibiotics this evening.  Dear friends and family, we need your prayers that this will be enough to heal the lungs.

If he doesn't improve from the antibiotics, the doctors may be forced to administer steroids, the best defense against viruses.  However, steroids are very dangerous for a post-stem cell transplant patient, as they may cause his body to start destroying the new graft cells.

We pray for the wisdom of the doctors, the efficiency of the treatment, Mike's strength and endurance, and the guiding hand of God.  Please forward to your prayer chains and friends; our network of prayers is a blessing.  Thank you for your loving support and prayers.
