Since my wife died of COVID in January of this year I am not sure how much I have posted about my grandson’s illness. It is Mycobacterium kansasii. Very serious, apparently treatable but incurable. He was rushed the hospital last week with a collapsed lung but we were encouraged when they were able to reinflate the lung but it collapsed again today. They are planning to meet with surgeons Tuesday or Wednesday to discuss surgery. When this started his weight went down to 98 lbs he is 6’3”. His latest weight is 117. Please pray
