Thanks for praying for Cynthia. Here is an update from her husband Peter : To our dear Lutheran Brethren family of prayer warriors,   As you know, last night Cynthia was at a “tipping point” from better or worse case outcomes. Since receiving a continuous infusion of IV fluids, known and experimental medications, oral, subcutaneous and IV, her condition has improved. A slew of blood tests, Cat scan and lung X-rays have revealed Covid-19 infiltrates throughout her lungs, yet not to the extent to overwhelm her medical treatment and most importantly the faithful prayers from our Lutheran Brethren family ofborn again believers!    This morning after Cynthia was seen by her medical team, her respiratory status has improved.    Her need for oxygen per nasal cannula from 15 liters last night, has been titrated (reduced) down to 8 liters this morning. Which is great news! The additional oxygen is required to maintain her blood 02 saturation level above 90%. Once she can regain her own respiratory capacity without the 02 - she can hopefully be discharged sometime next week.   The combination of your prayers before God’s throne of grace and the additional means of medicated grace compounded into "medicated prayers" has made the difference!   As we all go through this terrible “virus” a part and together - may these words of the writer to the Hebrew believers take us through until the very end of each one’s gospel "mission of rescue" on plant earth,   “Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.   For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin.   Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:14-16 NASB   May each one's love story of Jesus and His saving grace abound in our hearts and minds until He calls us home!   The Cynthia Bradford family.

URGENT PLEASE PRAY! Please join us in prayer for Cynthia, the wife of Peter Bradford.   Peter, an RN and CLB Minister of the Gospel, and his wife Cynthia Bradford have both contracted COVID-19. Cynthia is the administrator of a large nursing home in New Jersey that was hit hard with the virus - Peter was helping and got the virus and then Cynthia. Cynthia has not been getting better and was admitted last night to the hospital. They are trying some last resort medications with the hope that this will help her recover. If she does not show signs of recovery, they will need to decide about placing her on a ventilator.     Would you pray in these next 12-24 hours for healing with these medications? Pray for comfort and wisdom as they process through these decisions. Peter is grateful for the support of the CLB and wants you to share this request as you are led.
