Just to further the prayer concerns for Karen a little.
She left the hospital with fluid in her right lung, and we are concerned it is refilling. You may recall they took 1.6 liters out last time, and it hurt her terribly.
Karen wanted prayer for the huge amount of water weight she gained while in hospital (40 pounds) despite rarely eating. She said her legs have “turned to stone,” and asked for prayer about this.
Of course, the high blood pressure is a whole systemic problem. Despite taking meds for control, it’s very high.
She is also experiencing blood glucose level problems, which she has never had before this illness.
We are so grateful to God that she is home, but by no means is she out of the woods. In fact, it’s possible she is still on her way going in.
We appreciate your concern and prayers.

I am sure the extent of her illness is not good right now and you all are very deeply concerned. My heart breaks for all of you as you go through this. We are praying daily and any time that you come to our minds.I have read about this and It just does not end. There are other complications that come along with this. I keep saying over and over again …I can’t believe this.. I can’t believe this. John you need to take care of yourself also. We love you both…Johnny D and Mary Lynn
