One day you're up, the next you're flat on your back in a hospital bed...
Greetings from Denton Regional Hospital. Mom was admitted yesterday. It wasn't the turkey, I promise! The culprit this time appears to be a roaring case of pneumonia.
She started feeling a little under the weather Friday, and rapidly worsened through the weekend. Her blood work has tanked, and she's getting 2 units of blood as we speak, along with bags and bags of fluids, and 3 different antibiotics.
Her White Blood Cell count is being particularly obnoxious and has dropped below 1.0. That's very low, as in the "Red Flag, High Alert, put her in the Isolation Room" low. She basically has no fight left in her immune system. So no new "bugs" allowed while she's battling the pneumonia.
Please keep her and dad in your prayers. This has been a rough weekend, and from the looks of things, we are heading into a long week.
Will keep you updated as I can. We cherish your thoughts, your hugs and your prayers, Always,
Jane

Please know you, your mom and entire family are in my thoughts and prayers. You have been a wonderful inspiration at a very difficult time. My best to your mom and your entire family.
Thank you for your sweet words of encouragement to you both. Your thoughts and prayers touch the core of our need. Trusting a Gracious God to walk us through the road ahead. It is a gift, a comfort to know others are seeking His face on our behalf. Humbled by Grace, Jane
