He had been on the vent for 7 weeks. I was missing him pretty bad a few weeks ago, not being able to call or talk to him like we usually do. It already felt like I'd lost him, even though I still had faith God could heal him. But he'd been in a coma before for the H1N1 and had told me how horrible it was and I kept thinking, if I was this close to Jesus, and everyone was praying for me to stay, I wouldn't want that. Not being able to move or taste water for all that time. I felt for him. Anyway, I read last night the words "One thing is needful" and I pondered that. Later God put a song in my head about Calvary, a song that reminded me what was important. We're all like Martha, telling Jesus what all needs to be done. But Jesus told her "One thing is needful, and Mary hath chosen that good part that shall not be taken away from her." So Mike goes with him. Because thats what was needful. Not the oxygen count, not the blood count, not the heart rate all these things are what WE think is needful. For here. But not for glory. Thank God we are going to him, soon. This place is not our home.
My thoughts are with you fren. May God Bless you and your family. And always remember, you will see him again!
7 weeks is actually a really long time to survive the vent. It kills most people in 2-3. Shows the power of prayer and the love of Jesus even when the doctors were trying to end his life. Heโs be with us still if someone had the courage to unplug him.
ya i work in medical 2-3 weeks is the breaking point. If the lungs aren't destroyed by then they'll continue on.
I didn't know this. I guess bcz he came thru one vent after four weeks that he could thru again.
My apologies, that was meant in relation to covid specifically. But i can tell you, your brother must have been strong, many are ready to give up after a few weeks on vent, its often reported that when asked patients would take death over another multi week stint on a vent. Its not specified but im sure its not just the vent, its being treated like an experiment, getting poked, drugged, monitors / noise constantly popping off. unfortunately the icu environment is one of the least human. But again regardless, hats off to your brother, he was a strong willed mofo to go through that for that long.
Amen. I am sorry for your loss. Prayers for you, your brother and family. God bless.
Love how this scripture resonates with your experience. God is good. We want our will but it's God's will that is done. Sorry for you loss and praying for you and your family.

Thereโs no such thing as โQanonโ.
So sorry for your loss.
I usually can't bring myself to upvote posts that tell of someone's death, but for you I make an exception. Why? Because you say with confidence that he's gone home to Jesus. That is cause for rejoicing. He is free of pain. If ever you feel alone, remember that the love he felt for you on earth has only been perfected in God's Kingdom. He is still watching over you, and he will rejoice with you in every joyous moment of your life until you meet again.
