prayer request

Published

Please, if you can find it in your heart, say a prayer for a friend of mine. He has substance-abuse issues and overdosed over the weekend.. he's in an ICU; he was found in respiratory depression and I believe has acute renal failure.. he's very young, only in his twenties.

Please, say a prayer for him, that he makes it out alive. Poor kid has so much ahead of him. And a prayer for his family, who must be absolutely devastated at this situation.

Glad to hear he is doing better...I hope he makes a full recovery and if not 100%, at least he is alive! We lost a friend to an addiction and it was very sad for him (he was only 23) and his family...

Sending many prayers his way...

Hey everyone, another update. I saw my friend Monday night. He is walking and talking slowly, with a bit of hesitation, but he is walking and talking. He told me that he struggles with remembering the meaning of certain expressions and has some short-term memory loss, but for the most part is doing well. He went to an acute rehab and has since been released and is back home with his dad, practically on home arrest and attending 12-step meetings daily. But he's clean, he's alive, and he's getting better, and that's what matters.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and thoughts.
