I am asking for prayers for a dear friend of mine's twin brother, his name is Matthew. He is only 37 years old and had a massive, massive stroke. He is not expected to survive.

He is in much need of prayer.

Many thanks, in advance!

Just bumping this again, Matthew is still alive and is reasonably expected to, but he is in a 'locked in' stroke situation where is has only the movement of his eyes. This young man has a will to live even though the doctors ask him daily does he still want to!    He is in much need of prayer at the moment, he went into septic shock yesterday due to an infection that was not receiving antibiotics...there is so much for my dear friend to worry about on all accounts here. She is begging for prayers, they are holding onto hope through other stories of improvement for this condition.

Please prayer for Matthew's carers in the hospital, and for Matthew himself that he defies the doctor's prognosis and shows signs of improvement.

Yesterday with a therapist, he was able to ever so slightly flex a muscle in his jaw, if only that could be worked upon with therapy, they would be hoping that in time he could regain the ability to swallow, but that would be a mammoth task...

Many thanks for prayers in advance!
