  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I think my uncle has a walking Pneumonia.
He's already been treated with Biaxin twice, the first time for 10 days and the second time for 15 days.
He needs to go get a chest Xray - but he doesn't like docs or hospitals so he won't go.
I'm worried about him, this is a very serious infection.
He even asked for me to bring stuff over so he could have a breathing treatment - he was complaining of having trouble breathing.
He also has no movement of secretions which is bad - even though he's taking an expectorant.

So pray that the Lord would put it in my uncle's heart to go get the Xray he needs.

Father, help this man to heal. Help him to keep his chest warm and use things to break this infection and congestion. Some of the medicated heat rubs, or home remedies warm cooked onions, etc.

Give him wisdom to seek medical help and be safe where he needs help.

Break this attack against his health Lord and restore him. Amen

Praying for your Uncle, Nflite, that he will be blessed with better health and that his fear of doctors will go so that he can seek help when he is unwell.
Asking this in the name of Jesus the Lord
Amen

Praying for your uncle. I pray he goes to the doctor and gets a re-check. As I used to work in a lung clinic, I know there are other options and medications that can help your uncle. He may just need to switch his meds. Zithromax is a good medication to get rid of lung infections. I would tell your uncle to ask his doctor for a script for a Z-pak or something else. Your uncle should go see his doctor again before he gets much worse and will end up in the hospital. Don't mean to scare you but pneumonia is something that needs to be taken seriously. I pray your uncle sees that and gets the help that he needs.
Will be praying.

God Bless,
Charity

Oh I know - I've had so many I can diagnose myself. (My pneumonia 2 years ago was almost untreatable - had 2 treatments of Levaquin - nasty stuff.)

That's why I'm so worried about him. I just know he has walking pneumonia.

I remember a guy that came over to my grandparents house for Christmas Dinner. He had pneumonia but I guess didn't know it and within a few days he was dead.

Back in Tx. (about 3 years ago) 2 kids dropped dead from walking pneumonia.

I was thinking he should get Zithromax..but I don't think he'll be able to get anymore meds until he gets that chest Xray.

If he waits too long he'll have to be admitted for treatment.

Well I guess he finally went for his xray.

He was congestive heart failure, so the docs are putting him on meds to help get rid of the fluid in his heart and lungs.

I don't know if this is good news or not, but I will pray for your uncle...

Thank you God,
that uncle finally went to the doctor. Thank you that you revealed the truth of the matter. i pray you be w/his family, as they deal w/this terminal illness...
it is hurtful, it is unpredictable, it is really hard to deal seeing our family members so sick. i pray that Uncle is a Christian, and that if he looks into your word, it is not out of fear and anxiety for his life. i pray you give the family peace, and love, and lots of comfort. i pray you love up on them, and give them wisdom and knowledge as to what to say and do to be your people.

i pray to thank you for the members that are Christians, that prayed for the Uncle, that wanted to see him get better. i pray they not give up on him, and he not give up on you..
you are such an awesome God,in Jesus name i pray,

amen.
