Barb and Pat

The news is not good from Ohio. Chris talked to Leah and Joe on Easter Sunday and they felt Aunt Pat would probably not make it past this week. She had stopped eating last week and barely drinks water with her meds. She is restless and does not sleep much at night. I am so sad for all the Romers especially Uncle Joe because he loves her so much.

I talked to Julie today for an update on Aunt Barb. It sounds like the sepsis has gotten much worse and that last night she went into shock. They loaded her with fluids and she came around. Julie said she seemed to be aware that she, Jane, Ann and Mark were there. Today they are going to do a peritoneal tap to drain her abdomen. They think she may have a small bowel tear contributing to the infection but that she is too weak for surgery.

And all I can do is pray.
