Oddwalk's friend Erin Brennan (formerly Simmons, also know around here as "That Doodiepants lady that carried her trash around with her this past lent") has a prayer request:
Hi all, If you get a few moments today, would you please pray for a friend of mine (he’s actually my sister’s boyfriend). His name is Pat Boland and he went into the hospital a couple nights ago with what he thought was an insect bite. After surgery and antibiotics, it was determined that he has MRSA—or a superbug anti-biotic resistant Staph infection—which required another emergency surgery yesterday. He’s only 19 and without any insurance, and it’s the scariest illness I’ve ever heard of, so please keep him and his family in prayer. Thanks.

Of course I can spare a few minutes to say a prayer. Prayers are precious things and I am willing to say one for anyone and everyone who needs one.
ReplyDeletehi I am Orins sister Gwynne, and my husband Mike also fought MRSA in his foot, at the time of Orins wedding. It was very scary at the time, but even in rural Minnesota the doctors knew how to treat it, and today he is fine. I will say a prayer for the same outcome for you.
ReplyDeleteMy sister had a staph infection in her hip. It wasn't the same kind though, but it was scary nonetheless, so I know what you're going through. She made it and I'm glad to hear Mike did, too. Good luck! Prayers always!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Orin, for posting this, and everyone for praying. Pat is so happy that so many people are praying for him. He's in good spirits, but still not improving physically. I'll keep you posted. -Erin B
