Legionnaires’ disease

A dear, dear family friend, Tom Tracey (like a father to me), has been diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease. It is a rare form of pneumonia and quite serious. So serious in fact that he is on a ventilator - which was unable to be removed today. He is also requiring a nasal-gastric tube for feeding.

He is young - only 57. Father of 5. Loving wife/soulmate.

Not sure where he picked up this bug. He did just return from his son's wedding in the Bahamas. He also battled mono a few months ago.

Please keep him close in your prayers. God is good and can heal all.

Will keep you posted on his recovery!

Thanks!
