Hello to everyone on the list who sent messages of goodwill and prayers for my sister-in-law in Arizona. I just heard from my brother and he says her vital signs are improving, she has no pain in her abdomen. The pneumonia she got from a mistake they did in the recovery room, that gave her the pneumonia is still delaying her recovery. They still have her on a respirator, so she can't speak, and keep giving her versed, which is an anthethetic which makes you forget everything. She's mouthing words to the nurse, since she can't speak with the tube in her throat. So a little progress has been made, but she's a tiny woman barely weighing 100 lbs.and 5 feet tall, so I don't know how much endurance she has, after being on the respirator for over a week. I guess they still need it because of the aspiration pneumonia, but it seems like a long time to me. I sent copies of the letters to them that you all had so kindly written. I and they really appreciate them. But I do think we need another round to get her off the respirator, and get her up walking. I know prayer works, for when I was 27, I came down with Guillame Barre syndrome. I was paralyzed for four months, and all the ladies in my mother's neighborhood all sent a prayer circle around their various churches. They sent me prayers from all denominations, and I believe they cured me, so I could live and raise our three children. And see our ghandchildren and great- grandchild. Thank you all again for your best wishes and prayers. Love to you all. Earlene Hutsell
