I would like to ask for prayers for a little boy who is seriously ill. He has been admitted to the hospital and may be admitted to ICU with bacterial pneumonia. He is four years old and is the brother of one of my godsons. I would like to invite prayers for him, his family, the medical professionals who are caring for him, and for all who are in similar situations. Thank you, and God bless you!

Praying for those involved. I have a 4-yr-old son.
Prayers sent out. More to come.
Praying
Me too.
Praying. Hope he’s feeling better today, and will get well soon!
I spent several days sick in the hospital with pneumonia when I was that little. Once I found out there was single-serve hospital ice cream and jello and milk cartons and cool stuff like that, my attitude towards being there greatly improved! Also, I got a yellow stuffed dog/bear to keep. Also, I got rice krispy treats from the nurses. I can’t remember being scared or depressed about it, especially since my parents were there with me most of the day.
So my advice is — yummy treats and visitors cheer you up!
Consider it done.
Praying, too.
Jimmy? How is the little guy? Feeling better?
Still praying….
I said a prayer for the little fellow. I had double pneumonia once and the Lord let me live.
Thanks for your prayers! The little boy is doing better. He’s still sick, but just today he got to go home from the hospital! YAY!
Oh, thank God.
I decree Rice Krispy treats for everyone!
