Some bad news

Hi everyone, I am going to keep this brief as my mind and energy are elsewhere. Basically to sum things up Pam has pneumonia. Her fevers have been coming and going (mostly coming). But the bigger issue is her breathing. She developed difficulty with it on Thurs. evening and it got progressively worse. She was admitted into ICU late last night (Fri), and given oxygen with a mask, this initially worked pretty well and things settled down. Then later in the night (early morning) she started to really labor again. They decided to intubate her and had it in by 6:30 this morning. So she is now resting nicely in a sedated state with a respirator and feeding tube. This is designed to allow her to rest, her body to heal, and let the antibiotics and her own body get a chance to start working on the pneumonia.

Troy, Pam and boys,
I am in San Francisco, CA but holding you in my thoughts a prayers. I pray the little cells will take hold and drive out all cancer from her body. I pray that God will breathe the breath of life into her lungs and renew her from the inside out.
I will be lifting you all up in prayer today in church with my friend.
God be with you till we meet again.

Blessings in Christ,

Robin Vaughan
