Prayers for a Friend with Covid

Post Reply New Topic

A friend is headed to the hospital now. I spoke to her on the phone and she could hardly talk for lack of breath. Her voice was high and breathy like someone having an asthma attack. She was diagnosed yesterday, but sent home as her symptoms then were not so severe.

She provides essential services to people with disabilities living in a very poor area where services essentially don't exist except for her agency. More than 20 years ago I met her and she was working as a home health aid for a nursing agency. She got her own provider number and worked for herself as a solo provider and then created an agency and has people working with her to provide services for more people.

She always puts others first. She and all her staff have continued to work, providing essential services. I have been so worried about all of them and my clients in this poor rural time full of migrant workers coming and going. It is a place where most people are living in housing in which it is impossible to do isolation or social distancing.

I am asking for prayers, thoughts, hope, whatever you may have, for her.

I'm so sorry. People like her out their lives n the line for us, and they do not deserve this. She clearly is one of those people who always puts others first and deserves a gold medal. I am sure I speak on behalf of many in wishing her every strength and blessing that she may recover from this horrid virus.

Thinking of you and praying for your own strength at this time too.

I'm sorry to hear that. I know the uncertainty and helplessness is a terrible thing. I'm thinking of you both. [hug]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Prayers for your friend. Please keep us posted.

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend's situation - I will pray for her, and I hope that her recovery is quick.

I have said prayers for your friend BlazingStar.

I send prayers, hope, and positive thoughts to your friend.

I hope she gets out of the hospital soon.

Thank you everyone. I really appreciate your care even for someone you don't know. I have heard nothing new.

My prayers for your friend and, for you.

a first name would assist in prayers for your friend's sake.

I hope she recovers well and that whoever she got it from also recovers.

Prayers sent.

Prayers for Josie. She sounds so lovely, and like someone who really makes a difference! xx
