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.
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. Heβs be with us still if someone had the courage to unplug him.
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.
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.
May God bless you and your family and comfort all of you.
From my morning Bible read today (Philippians 3)...
20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
She's spreading what she learns here on Facebook and is getting banned for it if we're to believe her post history.
I understand what you're saying but this might be one of the only places she has to turn to.
And we all know what happens when people end up in the hospital for Covid. They're slowly drowned to death in their own fluids after their kidneys shut down due to the Remdesivir.
For what it's worth, wife Anon might someday make a similar post about me. She's been here since before here was here, is on daily but lurks 99% of the time.
You might be right, you might not be.
Either way your words here hit me as tactless and the more I think about it the more it rubs me wrong. What good does it do?
Well, it helped showcase human warmth, love and our support for each other.
I answered your question out of respect for the heavy lifting I've watched you do over the years. I notice you didn't feel the need to answer mine though. You know as well as I do how that reads.
God Bless you sister. Your brother is in so much better hands now. We faithful followers of Christ will all share in eternity with our Heavenly Father too one day. Just like your brother. We should rejoice. But I know the pain of loss , itβs just a heartbeat compared to eternity. Well get through it. God is amazing. We are so blessed.
Thank you for being here. And we share your loss. Please Lord see to our sister in her loss for her brother. May she lean on you to carry her through this time in her life. We all look to you, our Father in Heaven, for forgiveness, for comfort, for everlasting life with you Lord. Thank you for always being there. In Jesusβs name we pray, amen.
Sad to hear of your loss. We send our condolences to you and your family in this time of grieving. Though we grieve, we know he is with Jesus, as you said.
I am so truly sorry for your loss. May God grant you and your family peace in the knowledge that he is now sitting at the table with Him and His Son Jesus... πππ
Iβm so very sorry for your loss and for your family
I pray God heals your heart soon and find solace in all the beautiful memories ..I canβt imagine your pain Iβm so sorry

My deepest condolences for your loss. I hope he's having a great time up there. You can push through it.
I'd say he was one of the favorites up there! They couldn't wait any longer.
No one who really reads this board would want to have anything to do with "QAnon".
There is no QAnon, that's MSM disinfo campaign to discredit us.
There's Q and there are Anon's.
Sorry for your loss. Please do not perpetute the QAnon association. It's very false and misleading in itself and attempts to link us to all kinds of MSM nonsense.

My thoughts are with you fren. May God Bless you and your family. And always remember, you will see him again!

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.

Peace be with you and your family. Your brother is with Christ. Take comfort in that.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your family will be in my prayers.
why is your activity here so suspicious?
I think you're a doomer spreading disinformation.
Btw... why run to this sub with calls for sympathy for yourself when you have barely been active for over a year?
Nothing pops up on reverse image search, so good chance OP at least put in a decent effort to deceive or is completely honest.
I lean towards the latter and if my prayers for her to overcome her grief are in vain, so be it.
this is not an obituary subverse for flu victims
stop
just stop

This place is for news and info but it also allows pedes to grieve and rejoice together as we watch this battle taking place.
For what it's worth, wife Anon might someday make a similar post about me. She's been here since before here was here, is on daily but lurks 99% of the time.
You might be right, you might not be.
Either way your words here hit me as tactless and the more I think about it the more it rubs me wrong. What good does it do?
what good does the OP's post do?
Well, it helped showcase human warmth, love and our support for each other.
I answered your question out of respect for the heavy lifting I've watched you do over the years. I notice you didn't feel the need to answer mine though. You know as well as I do how that reads.
Pompous. Prickish. That's how it reads.
You in a mood? Want I should pray for ya? WWG1WGA
no, it didn't
it showcased the "I believe in Q and died from Covid' crap that is all over the MSM
don't pray for me... that reads like pompous, false piety
More like sarcasm, but regardless.
There are more pressing matters afoot.
That's all the time I'm giving this. Carry on.
i agree... OP posted about a sister in ICU for covid and now her brother is dead of covid? Just seems a little unlikely
I'm saddened to hear it but he is in a much better place.
God Bless you sister. Your brother is in so much better hands now. We faithful followers of Christ will all share in eternity with our Heavenly Father too one day. Just like your brother. We should rejoice. But I know the pain of loss , itβs just a heartbeat compared to eternity. Well get through it. God is amazing. We are so blessed.
