Praying for Rebecca

I am stopping by here tonight to ask for prayer for my very dear friend Rebecca, of the Gypsy Caravan blog. Rebecca's been caring for her mother, Beverly, through what began as a nasty cold. Things spiraled downhill at an alarming rate over the past few days, although she was an active, working woman up to that point. The cold progressed to pneumonia which led to pericarditis in short order. They prepared for a stay in the hospital to treat with antibiotics. However, last night her lung collapsed and stopped her heart. She was resuscitated and placed on a ventilator. At this writing, Rebecca's mom has not regained consciousness.

We are praying for healing, a miracle really. If that not be in God's plan then I ask you to pray for peace to flood the heart of my friend and for strength for the whole family through this trial.

Oh Kim. How incredibly sad. I will be praying of course .... for healing, for God's will to be done in this as in all things ... for Rebecca and her family to never be unaware of God's loving hand in their lives ...

Peace
Ellie

I posted this on FB and will update here as well. We HAVE had that miracle. Rebecca wrote a bit ago saying Beverly has opened her eyes and responded to light and sound. Awakening from the coma enhances her prospects for healing tremendously. She has asked us to not stop praying.

Praying...
This is getting a bit frightening. In only the last two months I have heard of four cases of pneumonia that did not respond well to antibiotics and led to hospitalizations; three of the cases were in young, healthy men in their 20's. I wonder if we have a very resistant bug out there now...
