Prayer request from Jay and Lena O.

Jay was meeting his father in NYC on the morning of 9/11. Jay had taken the train to NY and was able to talk to his dad by phone but was never able to see him. His dad died when the first tower fell. Jay was within one block of ground zero when the second tower fell and was enveloped by the dust and debris. The inhalation of all of those toxins caused him to develop sinus issues, a cough, lung issues and pain throughout his body. He was diagnosed with GPA, which is an autoimmune disease. In 2015, the disease began affecting his brain. He has been hospitalized on and off for 20 years and is on 20 different medications twice a day to try to control his symptoms. He is on chemotherapy and receives infusions as well. Because his immune system is compromised, he is more susceptible to contracting infections and viruses. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts to keep him safe during the Covid-19 pandemic, he contracted the virus in April of 2021 and was hospitalized for most of the month and is now hospitalized a second time with the virus. This time, he has developed a pulmonary abscess as well. Please pray for healing, for this virus to leave his body, wisdom for the doctors and peace of mind in God’s plan for Jay and our family.
