PRAY FOR ALEXANDER

PRAY FOR ALEXANDER

Alexander, (aged 12) was taken into hospital as an emergency. It was feared to be meningitis. However it is something called HSP. It's an auto-immune condition that can follow an infection. It can attack a lot of major organs in the body - stomach, kidneys in particular. At one point he made good progress without any real medical treatment (I am sure it was prayer!) But, though he's at home, Alexander still has a long way to go as HSP can take up to a year to go out of the system, and can re-occur - though not usually as well. Please pray for his healing.

Thank you and God bless.

Thank you so much for your prayers! Alexander is really doing well now, and eating and drinking normally and reading his favourite books, playing on computer games as boys his age do!! Praise God!!! It was a very frightening experience. He was at one point moved from his local hospital into a big city hospital (Birmingham) and was on a drip and fed through a tube as even water caused him to vomit. Throughout it all we have seen God's love at work through caring friends and in miraculous ways. The first week he was ill, I went to church in the town where my daughter and family live, and got talking to a lovely woman who assists the vicar at Communion. She prayed with me- and it turned out that she knows Alexander as he has glasses, and has been to the optician's where she works!!! It seems that in the most worrying times, God arranges for special people to be there for us!
