Shane's mom

So these are a couple of postings that Beth and Shane put up on the Garrard family blog. My mother in law, Linda fell very sick last week and Friday was taken to the hospital in Tacoma She is still there in the intensive care and in critical condition.

My Mom is Sick
My mom is in the ICU and really sick. Her kidneys are not functioning, her left lung has fluid but her right lung is full of puss and they are currently draining it. This infection from her lung has traveled intravaneously (sp?) throughout the rest of her body. Her blood pressure is very low. Right now she is sedated and on a breathing machine. They have put a feeding tube in her to give her nutrients. We are waiting to see how things go. It could take 2-4 days before we know anything. The doctor is going to do a CT Scan on her abdomen to look at her pancreas and gall bladder. Please pray for her.

Linda's Health
Linda went to the emergency room yesterday and is now in intensive care. She has been put under and has a breathing tube down her throat. She is getting multiple antibiotics and fluids intravenously. She has pneumonia which has worsened to the point of one lung is being drained of infection and her kidneys are failing. The doctors have called it Sepsis. Many forms of testing have begun and test results will not come for at least 48 hrs. The nurse informed us that she will be under for at least another two days and perhaps longer depending on how her body reacts to the medication and how the test results come back. I am sure your hearts and prayers are with us on her recovery. We will keep you posted on more news.
