Prayers for Michael Rettger

Donation protected
Michael was diagnosed with Covid-19 after Christmas. He had every symptom & developed covid induced double bi-lateral pneumonia in both lungs & was extremely close to being vented. He was hospitalized for 5 days. He was just back to work when he started having shortness of breath, rapid heart rate, & soreness in his legs. After getting out of shower & drying his legs he realized his legs were purple.  He immediately went to the ER where they admitted him. He was diagnosed with multiple blood clots in his lungs, & blood clots in both legs. He has had 2 surgeries on his left leg for major clots. He now has a major clot in his right leg & having surgery in the morning. He has a filter in his chest that is supposed to stop clots, but it is actually collecting blood & forming clots to which they are breaking off & forming bigger ones. He is supposed to have surgery also to remove the filter. 
 Michael can't work right now & has depleted his saving by paying rent & medical bills. He has no income coming in right now to pay any expenses, not to mention his rising medical bills. He is also going to need physical therapy once discharged. This is stressing him out. This money will be used for medical bills, the prescriptions he will be required to be on for life, & living expenses till he gets back to work. He is so stressed out, & I'm hoping this can a leave some of that pressure.
