Still Fighting!

Michael is still fighting! We are so very grateful for all your beautiful and powerful prayers. 

Fortunately, the infection and throat bleed from last week are mostly under control.

Last Friday night Michael began having seizures. This came as quite a surprise, as Michael has no history of seizures. The teams of doctors here at BWH are baffled as to what may have caused the seizures and even more baffled as to why Michael is unfortunately not responding to the anti-seizure medications. 

It is imperative that we find the right combination of medications to effectively stop the seizures. 

Michael has overcome so many seemingly impossible hurdles in the past 8 weeks and we pray he overcomes this, too. His overall condition remains critical — we continue to pray for a miraculous healing and complete recovery.

We will pray the Rosary live from Tim’s Instagram (timmer__gang) tomorrow, Thursday, at 7pm EST. 

Love,

Melissa, Spencer, Faith, Sarah, and Tim

    Thank you for the update Sarah! My prayer has focused on the throat bleed, praise be to God it is correcting itself. My new focus is Michael’s seizures. God blanketing him in protection and provision and proving to us that he is the Author of Michael’s life and his Great Physician. You are all in my daily thoughts and prayers as are all Michael’s health providers. The Doyle’s will stand beside you in prayer tomorrow night!

    Once again we have stormed the heavens with prayer tonight! Imagine the tremendous rumbling up there :) I LOVE to imagine all the behind the scenes going on up there as God uses each and every one of us to bring about His will as He, in His perfect timing, heals Michaels precious body! Our God really IS an awesome God! ♡♡♡ Love you all dearly. Thank you so much for the live Rosary (finally got Instagram! )
