My 95 year old mother and I are into the 19th day of dealing with a difficult case of the flu. Although we had flu shots as we do every year, the variety of flu we contracted must have not been protected by the vaccination. The fevers have been gone for over a week, but the cough just is not lifting. It's much less but the coughing just won't come to an end. My mother progressed to the beginning of pneumonia but that seems to be gone after treatment with antibiotics.
My mother has been to the doctor 3 times, and I have been twice.
But so far we have not been able to get completely finished with this flu.
We are asking for prayers that the flu will finish running its course and that we can start to get strong and well again.
Dear Lord,
Please watch over MarilynBr and her mom as they recover from a very bad case of flu.
Give them strength and comfort that only You can give with Your healing touch.
Your will be done.
In Jesus’ Holy Name.
Amen.
Praise the Lord Diver Dave.
May you be up and running at full strength soon.
Giving God all the glory and praise.
In Jesus’ Holy Name.
Amen.
Prayers up.

I am going to pray for you and your Mom at church to night. I myself had a cold or flu for 2 weeks but the nice weather helps.
God Bless,
Dear Father in Heaven, We ask You to heal Marilyn and her dear Mother. May they be comforted in body and spirit. In This I Pray. Amen.
Oh my, prayers lifted for you both! Years ago while visiting family, the eldest and I picked up a coughing type bug from the Grandpa, and gosh, it was so hard to beat.
Don’t know where you are, or what your weather is like, but if getting out daily into the sunshine isn’t an option, then you might find some Vitamin D3, Vit. C and even a little old CodLiverOil : / to be helpful.
Take care, and may God bless you both.

Lord our God, be with Marilyn and her mother and restore them to wellness. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Wow!!! What great news DD! Thank you Lord, so very much for your strengthening and healing of our FRiend DiverDave! YAY!
And Lord, thank You too, for Brad’s Gramma :)
I think sometimes it must be like hearding cats, ; } but she never tires in working to help us all to come together for strength in Your holy name.
Countless are the blessings!

Prayers up for you, MarilynBR, and for your mom, that the Lord may give speed to your healing with no residual coughs and a return of your comforts and energies.
Can you and your mother tolerate MEGA doses of Vitamin D3? (short duration) Resveratrol? Curcumin? NAC?
All available OTC, but given age, talk to MD and make sure not harmful interaction with prescriptions
I read of these as prophylactics/home remedies on a Flu pandemic site and have used them successfully to ward off illness for several years, especially the Vitamin D3
Praying for you Marilyn and your mom. I have heard of so many this year that have this vicious flu. May God's Healing Hand be on you and your mom.
As always, thank you BG for the ping.
Prayers for healing and restoration in Jesus Name.
I join in urgent prayer for you and your mom!
Prayers continue...
Prayers for healing both of you; that this organism that is causing so much distress is driven from your bodies.
Thank you for the praise report, and continued prayers for healing from your surgery. God Bless
Joining in with prayers up for you too Diver Dave.
How are you and your mom doing today?
