Prayers Answered as Matt Chandler’s Wife Returns Home to Recover
Lauren Chandler, wife of Pastor Matt Chandler of The Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, is now recovering at home after being hospitalized with an unidentified illness in the past week.
“All Lauren’s numbers look great. Still don’t have certain labs back but we can wait those out at home. Our infectious diseases doc is informing the hospitalist that we can go home!! Thank you for all your prayers. Please pray for her recovery now which is apparently going to take a couple months (And for a quick discharge).” Matt Chandler wrote on Instagram.
A follow-up “FINAL UPDATE” stated that his wife is now “HOME,” according to The Christian Post.
Chandler wrote last week that Lauren was in the hospital due to a high fever and additional symptoms, including a “brutal headache from the spinal tap” and “double pneumonia.”
“She has finally turned the corner! She looks more like herself, and the color is back in her face,” he wrote in a follow-up post last Tuesday.
“They still haven’t identified the virus but have ruled out most of the scary autoimmune diseases,” he continued. “Doctor said if she can go 48 hours without fever and fever reduction meds we can go home.”
At the time, Chandler asked for prayers and thanked his followers for their continued support and well wishes he and his wife received.
