My brother-in-law had the same thing 2 months ago!
He was having pain in his back. He thought it was from moving furniture. I saw him on a Sunday. Wednesday he could not breath very well. His wife took him to the Dr. , the Dr. sent him to the hospital! He was having such a hard time breathing , he WANTED the ventilator! They put him on a ventilator , feeding tube , the whole nine yards! They did test , STAPH infection. The Dr.'s told us he has a 50/50 chance if he makes it through the first 48 hours! He said 80% do not make it through the first 48 hours! His kidneys , and vital organs were shutting down!
My church prayed and prayed and prayed as well as his church! My sister , his wife , is not in good health , and he has 3 children! I prayed and prayed and begged God to let him live! He made it through the first 48 hours!
They did a cat scan , he had a mass of infection in his back the size of a softball! They operated , took out the mass! Three weeks on the ventilator , another week in the hospital! When he got home , he was like an invalid! Like a baby. He had a pic line still in his chest to take fluids and antibiotics every day for a month! He was so week , he could not work and barely could make it to the bathroom!
I will pray for Mike and ask my church to pray for Mike! We will pray for Mike as hard as we prayed for my brother in law!
