Prayers please for my brother Please pray for my brother, Ben. He is in the hospital & very ill. Being the superhero guy, the job has to get done type - he avoided going to the doctor after being ill for at least 10 days. Last night he went to the hospital & he has severe kidney infection and may be septic. The doctors fear it may also be effecting his liver. He is very sick. He just turned 43 and has a daughter who is just 3 mths & a son who will be 2 at the end of Oct. He lives in Atlanta with his darling wife. My brother's sister-in-law said that my brother has lost 10-15 pounds in the last week. I am struggling to understand how he could wait to go to the doctor. He is an educated man, whose job apparently is stealing all his common sense. He kept going to work even though he was sick & running a temp. It was 104 when they finally called the doctor yesterday. My parents who live in Florida, just happened to go to my brother's yesterday, on their way to my house - but now I don't think they will be coming to my house. So at least my parents are there to help & offer support. Thank you in advance for your prayers. |
i will be sending prayers for your brother and his family. keep us posted |
I will keep your brother and his family in my prayers. Thank goodness your parents are there to help. |

Prayers to you and your brother's family. |
Prayers going out to your brother and all your family members, Kidney problems can make you very ill, I have been hospitalized for kidney stones, so i know how scary this can be:( hugs comming your way. |
Prayer's coming for your brother to get well again. I am sorry he waited to go to the doctor's but most men do that. They feel they can make themselves better. I guess it's a guy thing. Don't be too hard on him. I am sure if he knew he was so sick he would have gotten himself there. Wishing him nothing but the best and a speedy recovery. |
Wow! I'm sure he was just trying to provide for his lovely wife and beautiful kids and wasn't even worrying about himself!!! Poor guy! :( Your brother and your family is in our prayers. Please keep us updated! |
Sending prayers to your brother and family:( |
Sending prayers to you and your brother. |
Prayers are coming his way. Sometimes men can be really stubborn. |
I'm so sorry your brother is so ill and I'll pray for his recovery. I knew a lady that had that same type problem and went septic, but she came through it and I'll pray your brother does also! Sending hugs to you! |
I will be praying for your brother and family, I am sure that he didn't realise how sick he really was. My husband is like that himself to where I am the one who calls the Doctor to get the appointment. In the 17 years of being with him(15 as his wife) he has only missed 2 day's of work! |
Sending up prayers. Angie |
Praying for your brother to return to health |
Sending prayers for your brother, you and your family. I can understand the whole not going to the dr thing. im the same way. I was passing out like crazy, throwing up blood and still found the strength to put up a fight and kick and scream all the way to the hospital when my fiance forced me to go. |
All my prayers are coming your way, this is just tragic! The body is miraculous though, and I'm praying he will come back in perfect health. |
Praying for all of you. My husband is the same way...won't go to the doctor. |
Prayers going out <3 |
My brother's fever has come down a bit, and he apparently looks better than yesterday. I guess for awhile they were even concerned he might have hepatitis. They believe his liver is effected. He's on an IV & I'm hoping even if he continues to improve, that they keep him for a few days, so he can rest. I guess the hospital was so crowded that last night they had in what they called an overflow room - my mom said it was like a big ward. But a friend they new who is on the waiting list for a new kidney, called up his doctor, and this doctor who didn't even know my brother pulled some strings and got my brother into a private room this afternoon. The doctor even came in and talked with my brother & explained things better than anyone else had. He also suggested my brother see a uroligist. He's very concerned because men don't usually get kidney infection. Thank you for your continued prayers. My sister-in-law has a lot on her plate with a sick husband & 2 babies. |
Sending Prayers your way from Florida. |
Praying for your brothers speedy recovery. |
That's great news that he's doing a bit better now. I felt so bad when I talked to you this morning and you told me he was so sick! I didn't know then that he lived so far away and has small children too-I'm sure he was just trying to take care of them by working, and (like most men) thinking that "it's not that bad" until it was really bad! I'm glad he's under medical care now, and that things are improving. Please keep us updated on his progress! You, your brother and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. |
Improved Wanted to say thank you again for all the prayers. My brother is doing better, they kept watching his blood levels & decided he wasn't septic. I guess the IV filled with antibotics & whatever helped him. They let him go home Sunday night - good news. But the stinker went to work on Monday for a half day!! One doctor highly suggested my brother see a uroligist, because it is so incredibly unusual for a man to have kidney infection. Thinking there may be a blockage. He has an appointment with a uroligist today -- hopefully this will help. But also, I just found out that my brother had the snippy-snippy no more babies surgery a few weeks ago -- so I'm thinking the kidney infection might have been caused by some infection from the vasectomy procedure. Praying my brother uses common sense on getting well & resting vs. going to the almighty workplace. Also, praying the doctors find the cause. |
Sending prayers for a continued recovery. Your brother sounds like a hard worker that is too stubborn to listen to the Dr.'s. He should definitely check into the possibility that the infection is a result of the snippy-snippy. |
