Prayers for Greg Henry, Age 12

Hello Mighty Praying TGA Team!

Please be on your knees for a boy who grew up in our children’s ministry. Here’s the prayer request from his dad, Bob. Their family attends the Grayslake campus.

Prayers are needed for our son Greg.

 He contracted what is believed to be a severe virus infection that started out with flu-like symptoms Tuesday night. Mary took him to the doctor early Wednesday afternoon, where our doctor then rushed him to the emergency room due to hampered breathing problems. In the ER, his symptoms kept getting worse so he was sedated, attached to a respirator and transferred to pediatric ICU at Lutheran General Hospital.

 In ICU throughout the night, Greg’s conditioned continued to deteriorate. His lungs were unable to function properly so the doctors had to perform an ECMO procedure. This procedure allows the blood to flow into a machine that performs the same tasks that his lungs, kidneys and liver would do and pump it back into him. He is currently stable but in critical condition and will remain in a coma like state for the next several days.

 We are waiting on blood tests to determine what cause this extremely aggressive infection to occur.
