Just wanted to let you know that Barbara was
taken to the hospital Saturday. She has developed pneumonia and her oxygen level
is really low. The increased her oxygen tank to level 6 which is really
high. They are also giving her antibiotics intravenously The Drs today
told her that she will have to decide about a respirator in case she gets
worse. She is fighting three things now, the cancer, pneumonia, and
also the high oxygen intake can cause some kind of reaction in her blood.
I ask for continued prayers and letters of encouragement for her. My daughter,
myself, and Barb prayed at the hospital tonite, and I just got word that her
oxygen level in her lungs has increased a little bit. It would be
wonderful if she could get off that. Thank you for your prayers and words
of encouragement. I print these off for her and it definitely is a highlight of
her day. This disease is definitely a battle with the beast.
Wellness to you and yours! Thanks, Nan and
Joan for your letter today!
Your friend,
Gwen
