For those who know my amazing mother, Melanie Goodin Frisby, and for those who don’t, my family is asking for your most heartfelt prayers. We ask that you take a moment to stop whatever you’re doing and pray to our Heavenly Father for His divine intervention. We need our Lord to pour out His healing power over her, for she is currently on life support in critical condition in the ICU.
This all began after my mother received a stage 1a cancer diagnosis. The doctors recommended a “precautionary chemotherapy treatment” to ensure that nothing remained after her surgery to remove the tumor. About two weeks ago, she bravely faced her first treatment, but what was meant to prevent harm has taken a different turn. She had a reaction during the chemotherapy, but they assured us it was normal and continued the treatment once she had settled.
Less than 36 hours later, my father had to call 911 because she became short of breath, fatigued, and experienced chest pain. Upon arriving at the hospital, her condition deteriorated rapidly, and now she is on a ventilator. As of this moment, we still don’t have concrete answers. The doctors have run countless tests, searching for viruses, bacterial infections, or any other causes, but so far, nothing conclusive has surfaced.
In my heart, I believe the chemotherapy may have caused damage to her lungs and other organs, though I’m not a doctor—just a deeply concerned son.
So today, I humbly and earnestly ask each of you to bow your heads and lift my mother up in prayer. Ask the Lord for a miracle of healing. For the Scripture says, *“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective”* (James 5:16). We need His hand to move over my mother, to give her the strength and grace to overcome this battle. Please join me in asking for God’s mercy and healing for my mom, that He may renew her strength and restore her to health.
Thank you all from the depths of our hearts for your prayers, your love, and your support. May God bless each of you.
With all our gratitude,
The Frisby Family
