For those following my sister and her family, it just gets worse. Yesterday, my sister was having trouble breathing so they decided to go to urgent care to check it out. They dropped the girls off at Grandma's place and before she got to the car, her two year old tripped and hit her head on the slate floor...so they all went as a family to urgent care. Her baby girl got three stitches on her head and my sister got antibiotics for an upper respiratory infection (they caught the pneumonia in her before it turned into actual pneumonia...let's hope).
Her husband, who is still in ICU, was not responding to the 'normal' antibiotics so they gave him the 'big guns' as she so medically accurately puts it. Today he started coughing which is a very good sign and he got really mad at her over something trivial, which is also a good sign. My sister said she just smiled and was glad he was responding to something. He is still on oxygen and to walk to the bathroom wears him out for several hours...BUT, he is walking to the bathroom. As it turns out, on top of all this, he is having headaches because he is a major coffee drinker and they haven't given him any caffeine since he arrived at the hospital.
Please keep this family in your prayers!! My sister is exhausted just from being sick, much less from all the stress. She is still trying to work as they both have hourly jobs, but as you can tell she is really not in any condition to do so. Their oldest daughter is struggling to process this emotionally but at least she will now talk to Dad on the phone. I don't know how to tell you to pray, but please lift them before the Lord today. Thank you!
