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.
Prayers for swift healing.
Calling in the Prayer Warriors....
Lord please put your Hand on MarilynBr and her mom..please relieve their bodies of this flu that’s taken hold of them. Please make them whole and well! In your Name, Amen
May HE grant this prayer request for you and your mom. Then many he allow you both after recovery enjoy the time granted you together peace and some yet nice times.
Sounds like the same thing my wife and I had. I got it first, and she got it a week later. It’s just vicious, but after more than three weeks, the fever, congestion and body aches have finally passed. However, we’re both still coughing our lungs out and have no energy at all. I waited it out, and she got prescription meds and steroids from a doctor, but there seems to be no difference in our healing rates. My sympathies to anybody who catches this bug. It’s one of the worst I’ve ever had.
My prayers offered to you and your dear Mom! God Bless you both. I had an especially bad case this year myself. The congestion in my lungs was terrible.
God Bless.
Have you been taking vitamin D?
dear Lord, let mom and daughter feel your healing strength.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy Name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies, who satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Speaking the Word of God and the Promises of redemption and healing over you and your beloved mother.
Exodus 15:26 ~ For I am the Lord that healeth thee.
Amen and Amen
My prayers for healing.
Prayers up! I had the flu shot once, and I got the flu twice that year. Not only did I get it, but I got it so badd, it really affected my asthma. I generally have very mild asthma, but I experienced multiple attacks that time. It was frightening. I won’t even get the flu shot now.
May God bless you with healing. Sending prayers.
Prayers up!
