ThinMint

For the curious (because I’ve seen some outrageous comments)... We faithfully took supplements -way too many to list, but it did include C, D, NAC, and quercetin. We made it 21 months without illness. Then we showed symptoms of a head cold, before it seemed to morph into the flu. I took ivermectin around day 8 of my symptoms, and started to slowly improve. My husband went downhill very suddenly. I knew I was watching him die. I made the decision for medical intervention because that was the best (and only) choice for our situation. I am doing my very best to navigate through the unknown while still recovering myself, and taking care of four children. I am very well aware of all the different treatments, and the risks of a hospital stay. Please give me grace during this time and know that I am not asking for medical advice. I am however, beseeching those of you who share my faith to join me in prayer. It’s all I’m asking for because prayer is everything to us.

God is stirring hearts. Something heavenly is happening. How it will manifest remains to be seen. Many of you have been with me for awhile, and there are no words to describe the tenderness in my heart for you. This isn’t merely ThinMint’s Channel: this is something divinely inspired and brought together for a greater purpose we’re going to see unfold. Lin Wood and QAnon John were gracious in pointing out my situation so that others who felt compelled to do so, would join us in fervently praying. (There’s still so much praying to be had!) I’m humbled by their kindness and connect with them because their hearts are with the Lord. There really are no strangers among believers are there? For those who have recently joined, this is obviously an unprecedented moment in my life that I’m living in a very vulnerable, public way. Scroll back and see if there’s something that’s been posted once upon a time you may find encouraging. I try to point out the beauty in life. And I make cookie jokes.

Andy, the angel nurse, or as my friend’s autocorrect named him, the bagel, called early this afternoon on his personal cell phone number. He placed the phone on Felix’s chest as he was preparing him for a chest X-ray so we could talk to him. Andy also called early this evening for the same thing. Andy informed me that the ventilator was turned down to 40% and his oxygen was at 94%. His PEEP is at 13 (it was 15 yesterday). The nurse said that the PEEP would need to get down to 5 and the ventilator to 40 before they can see if Felix will breathe on his own. His blood pressure remains steady, his vitals are stable. His creatinine (kidney) number remains high but he is producing urine. Unfortunately Andy’s shift is done until Thursday. We’re praying for more bagels to interact with Felix. The infectious disease doctor called early evening, too. He said Felix’s oxygenation has improved. The creatinine is high, liver is normal, blood pressure is holding steady. There is no indication of a bacterial infection so they’re stopping the medicine for that. I requested he get vitamin D and the doctor said they could do that. He reminded me that Felix is very sick but he’s better than he was two days ago. I freely admit my heart gets hit with bouts of terror. I love God more than anything so it’s important to me to remain faithful to Him. In our flesh, that’s absolutely impossible. God in His infinite wisdom gave us the Great Comforter. It’s allowed me to keep reaching for my Jesus.

One of the most frustrating things when you’re a writer -or desire to write, is not necessarily the lack of inspiration, but rather bursting with thoughts that need to get out and not being able to get it out. It’s like coming up with a melody and you hum it and turn it over and over in your head while you frantically look for, but cannot find the paper and pen to jot it down. God is moving mightily and the words are a jumbled mess in my head. When I’m ready, I will be His servant and share the words He inspires. The ICU nurse this evening told me that the ventilator has been turned down to 40% and Felix’s oxygen is at 90. His blood pressure is holding steady, his body temp is normal, his vitals are stable. His kidney number remains high but the urine looked good. No fevers, but the white blood count is high at 17. This nurse told me that he prayed over Felix first thing today. And just before his shift ended he brought a cell phone into the room so the kids and I could tell Felix that we love him. There are no words to accurately describe those who are genuinely compassionate individuals. Somewhere out there is a RN named Andy who went home to his three little girls tonight. He needs to be blessed for what he did for us. The enemy is ruthless. Almost as soon as I hung up I had doubts. Yes, this is good news, but I don’t want to get my hopes up. That’s the enemy’s darkness creeping into my thoughts. This is a God moment. He deserves all the praise for this good news. See how vile and sneaky the enemy is? We must always guard our hearts. And for those times when we can’t, we need to hide in the crook of our Father’s arm. I also think it’s important to point something out here. God is hearing YOU. He is listening to YOU and moving because YOU asked Him to. I hope that brings you comfort. I hope you know this means He loves you, and is willing to move simply because you asked. Rest well in knowing He thinks about you. Thank you for continually lifting us up. I don’t know how others go through life without God. How do you not turn to the Creator of the universe? How do you not connect with other believers? I thought I might have something to share with anyone who was willing to give me a chance when I started this channel. As usual, God had something else in mind. This is an authentic community. You’re beautiful and precious and there is no one like you. My life will never be the same because y’all walked into my life. Invited, but you offered so much more than a listening ear. I love you. Even those who don’t appreciate cookies.

I spoke with the ICU nurse around 6:30 am... the ventilator got turned down to 90% (it was at 100% last evening) and his oxygen is at 95. She said all this fluctuates. His kidney number remains very high. And as far as I know he’s still throwing blood clots. I absolutely broke down last night. Though I didn’t sleep much, as I kept praying throughout the night, I did stop crying which helped me focus my prayers. But, I’m weepy again. Our twins seem to understand the seriousness, though they won’t talk about it. The 8 and 5 year old do not understand. It’s so very hard to answer my daughter’s questions. Our 21st wedding anniversary is the 15th. Felix is my best friend, my rock, my lover, my greatest love. I’m asking for the miraculous -which God is still in the business of doing, and I’m asking for spiritual strength because my faith is being tested, and my relationship with the Lord is everything to me. Thank you doesn’t seem adequate to covey how much your prayers mean. I am humbled by it all...

ICU nurse called. His oxygen level dropped and they had to make him prone for the next 16 hours. His kidneys are not functioning he’s at 40 and normal is 7-18. He’s at 100% on the ventilator. Please don’t ask me about meds. I am unable to see him because of covid protocol. I’m beside myself... cannot think... I’m terrified ... just can’t.... need God so desperately....

I don’t know how it came up exactly, but this is the first I learned that Felix’s liver is 178. Normal is 50. The ICU nurse said his oxygen went from 88 to the mid-90s, but it’s the ventilator keeping it that way. His vitals are stable and I’m trying (and failing) not to freak out over the liver...

I have been asking myself seemingly non-stop, “how does one increase their faith?” As if someone fails if they are too weak to stand on their own. How does a woman of faith, a woman whose faith means everything to her feel so incompetent to have enough faith. If only… Then He whispered to me, “My grace is enough…” And He broke me.

The first infectious disease doctor told me he was going to give my husband Remdesivir and I said absolutely not. He disagreed with me said he couldn’t be his doctor then hung up. A few minutes later another infectious disease doctor called me. He agreed no Remdesivir. He’s got my husband on dexamethasone (steroid), antibiotics, and tocilizumab (anti inflammatory). They inserted a NGI tube an hour ago so he’s getting some nutrients now. He’s vitals are stable and his blood pressure is 120/80, and as the nurse said, “100% life support.” If you want to pray for him by name it’s Felix. Thank you for letting me continue to lean on you...

Nurse said propofol was the only medicine he’s on to help with the ventilator. His oxygen is at 88, and she said the ventilator is breathing for him. He has low blood pressure. He’s in critical, acute stable condition in the ICU. Because he tested positive for covid, I cannot be with him. I gave permission for PICC and arterial lines. I’m so exhausted and I don’t know what to feel, think or do. I’m very sorry I’m living this out with you, but I feel less alone doing so. Our kids are 13, 13, 8 and 5. And we need him.

I just got off the phone with the ER... they had to intubate him... waiting on a bed in the ICU... please pray for a miracle

Prayers needed right now.... I had to no choice but to call for an ambulance for my husband...

I’ve never been so sick in my life. You take all the times I had the flu, the time I was hospitalized with a double kidney infection (and was expected to go sepsis), recovery from all my caesarians, an emergency breast surgery 3 weeks postpartum due to a MRSA infection, wisdom teeth removal, stitches, broken bones, etc. combine all of it, and I don’t think it can compare to having covid. I finished up ivermectin today and feel maybe a fifth of what I could be. I literally heard and felt the pop of a ligament while coughing so that’s been excruciating. Our fevers got as high as 106+ but it’s been almost 24 hours since I reached 101. Finally able to keep some food down. I have absolutely no idea what the kids have been eating. I took the horse paste (it’s more like a gel) and gave my husband my expensive ivermectin Rx this evening, which a neighbor picked up for us. Y’all, I’ve never been so scared in my life over my health. And we’re not out of the woods yet. My husband is having difficulty breathing -almost like he’s hyperventilating. I don’t know what to do for him so we could use some prayers. I thank you for showing me so much grace during all this and not abandoning the channel during this very challenging time. I miss y’all terribly and pray that y’all are experiencing many good things in your life.

Please accept my apologies for not getting the good news posted today. My family and I are quite ill. It feels like the flu. The kids’ symptoms appear to be mild, thank goodness, however my husband and I have reached fevers up to 105. It’s really taking a toll after a week’s time. Yes, I’m taking vitamin c and d, along with quercetin and some other herbs. I’m doing my best to stay hydrated. No, we don’t have ivermectin, everywhere I’ve looked online over the last several months you need a prescription. I covet your prayers as I’m barely hanging on. Plus I’m starting to look like an Antifa mugshot 😩 Hope y’all had a lovely Thanksgiving. Miss being online, but I need to recover...

Some reasons I am not updating y’all on the Supreme Court thing are: 1) I am not the general in this army; 2) The situation is fluid; 3) You don’t show your hand to the enemy; 4) A lot can happen in 24 hours, and we have 96 hours of opportunity on the FrankSpeech.com Thanksathon to let you know the latest. I assure you, things are happening. It’s like the old saying about making laws... like sausages... don’t look too carefully at what goes into making them. Remember, this is not a war about evidence. We already have mountains of evidence. It is about legal strategy, political strategy, PR strategy, marketing strategy, and... spiritual strategy. The lesson that we need to remember is that God expects us to show up. Then, His strategy is what prevails. The battle is the Lord’s. Kinda like David and Goliath. King Saul thought the best strategy was to put armor on David and a sword. But God used David’s slingshot instead. And God uses the simple things of the world to confound the wise. Maybe the best evidence and the best legal arguments aren’t the simplest thing. Maybe God has a simpler slingshot in mind. Have faith. God’s got this.
