Here from GCI pastor Martin Manuel is an update on his grandson Jason (click here for the previous update).
Jason is much improved since the last update. He no longer is on a ventilator, though he needs a lot of oxygen to support his weakened respiratory system. I’ve seen Facebook photos of his smile and thumbs up, showing that he is feeling better and relieving our hearts and bodies from the relentless pain we have been feeling. His doctors have determined that Legionnaires’ Disease is the cause of his infection. Where he encountered this rare bacterium is unknown; I have heard that only one other treatment case is currently on record in that part of Washington State.
Jason still has a way to go to fully recover. Hopefully he will be discharged soon with progress toward an improved appetite and resultant weight gain. We are praying for a lot, but mighty is He who answers!
Thanks so much for your prayers.
Jason,
Your wonderful smile brought a smile to my face as soon as I saw it. I can tell you have a zest for life. Continue to be strong — God is with you!
Amen, dear friend, Charles, and to Jason and his parents and grandparents, please know that we are all looking forward to and praying for your complete recovery and for you and your family to be comforted and blessed beyond measure! With love and blessings, Ross and Tammy
