Please Keep Praying

 Thank you for your continued prayers. Still fighting brst infection in my cancer side. It's been a rough week, oral and injected antibiotics.  No improvement.  Seeing doctor again tomorrow.  Please pray that he will know what to do or that God will just heal it quickly.  Thank you. You've been faithful friends.

My God has healed me by the power of the blood of Jesus.

Update

 No Covid praise God! 

It's a bad stomach flu.

I am almost over it, but still fighting a few symptoms. 

I've also developed an infection in my brst that had cancer. Under care for that now too.

Thank you for praying. 

Hope all will be well here by next week. 

Thanks for praying for me all these years.

For Readers Who Want to Pray for Me

 Recovering from a terrible bout of stomach flu which started Friday night. Worst sickness in ages. Self-quarantining until results of Covid test. It's okay, I am still feeling poorly. This way I get additional time to recover.

Trusting God,

Laura

Covid test negative
