Hi All,
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
