Update on my friend John and fundraiser

Hi all. About 7 weeks ago my friend John ended up in the hospital. He got a bacterial infection that gave him endocarditis. He became unconscious with brain bleeds and had several small strokes. So I’m doing a fundraiser for him. All my share of sales from my official site here between now and the end of the year will go towards his medical care. This includes all CDs, sheet music and songbooks. 

For many weeks John had been unresponsive. He was given a tracheotomy and a feeding tube. It wasn’t looking good. Then I visited him, briefly touched my hand on his and silently prayed a prayer of healing. Ever since then he’s made improvements. I’d like to think there’s some divine intervention there. Thank you for all your prayers and well wishes for him. 

It’s been a roller coaster for him and his wife but he is making progress. They’ve removed the trach and he’s breathing on his own. He’s been eating and speaking. He’s still very weak but getting stronger thanks to PT/OT/ST. 

It’s a long road ahead but I have every confidence that John will get to go home soon to his family and continue making a full recovery in the coming weeks, months, year. 

As always, thank you kindly for listening. 
Philip
