Please help my brother in the fight of his life

  • Awesome update on Michael

      5 June 2021

    Hi everyone!

    Although we still don't know what has caused Michaels infection, he has turned a corner and is going to be ok!

    He has now been moved out of ICU and into a ward, where he'll be for about three weeks while his body heals. We are still hoping to find out what caused this, but just feel so blessed and thankful that he is going to be ok. Michael is a fighter and all your prayers and messages of support helped!

    I will be compiling every single message we received so he can read through and realise how much many people were backing his recovery. The doctors even mentioned they had been receiving bulk emails about Michael with advice on things to test on.

    Although this has by far been the scariest time of our lives, I know they would agree that it has been incredibly humbling.

    We are the lucky ones and have Michael here with us today, but i know from some of the messages we've received others haven't been so lucky and our hearts go out to you!

    Thank you all again!

    From the happiest little sister, Shannon

      Shannon, that is wonderful news! Will continue to pray for full recovery!

      Philippians 4;7 - Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus

    Wow, can I first say thank you!

    Thank you to each and everyone of you who has donated and sent well wishes to my family! We are all so humbled by the support and there really are no words to describe how thankful we are.

    Michael is doing ok. He is still in intensive care and will be for a while to come. We still don't have answers as to what caused this, but that can take time. He certainly isn't declining further, which is a win in our books. His blood tests are getting better, so the medication for the sepsis is working. Thank goodness that was caught early! His Liver, Lungs and Kidney's aren't doing very well at all, but his body is still in fight mode and thankfully he hasn't needed to start Dialysis, but this isn't off the table.

    We have had so many messages of support and I will get back to each and everyone of you, it will just take time.

    Thank you again, I cant believe the reach and support his story has received, but I promise he is so deserving of this!

    I have faith our next update will be even better. xo
