Jubab's brother Dondon is fighting for his life - please PRAY!!!


Please pray for Dondon, the middle brother of the five brothers. He is Jubab’s fun-loving, optimist, great with kids, easy-going and always smiling brother but right now he is desperately fighting for his life in the ICU of one of the biggest hospitals in Cagayan with what seems to be viral myocarditis.

He got sick on May 14th with what appeared to be a respiratory infection with slight fever and cough, but by the 19th, when the family came here to visit us for the weekend, he was starting to get worse and by the 21st had to be taken to hospital where his condition has continued to deteriorate until during the weekend he was moved to ICU.

He is having severe pain attacks in his chest, his heart is swollen and he is having difficulty breathing. Nayumi, his beautiful young wife, who he married 8 months ago, (photo above) has not left his side or hardly slept for the past days. We were there on Saturday and he was hooked up to IV’s and oxygen and was looking really pale and felt clammy, although he still managed to give us one of his bright, Dondon style smiles.  

The doctors are doing all they can but his condition looks very, very serious.

Please, please take time if you will to PRAY for him.
