I was all set to come here today and do some silly little quick takes about how slowly life is going right now, how many dried beans and lentils I'm finding stuck to the bottom of my feet (because they are Miss Cupcake's favorite playthings right now), how the weirdest thing about having my husband laid off is that I don't know what day of the week it is. I was also hoping to give you some good news about my SIL,
Kari. She's been at the rehab center this past week and has made some great strides. She was sitting in a chair, watching the news, opening her mouth, communicating with hand squeezes just the other day… lots of really wonderful stuff. But the word from my brother now is that she's back in the ER as of 3 am with a pretty serious infection (they think) and her doctors are very worried.
So, forget my inane prattle, and
please, please take a minute to pray for this beautiful young lady who is fighting the fight of her life right now. And please pray for my brother too who can't bear to see the woman he loves suffer so much.
UPDATE: Her family is gathering at the hospital. Kari has pneumonia and they don't think she will be with us much longer. Please pray for peace for her and my brother and the family and all the friends who love her very much.
UPDATE #2: Kari is being moved to hospice care.
