Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 She's in our thoughts. My toddler had bad pneumonia over the holidays, throughout both sides and with some streaks. She got over it well, once it was treated. I hope Adrienne has a similar speedy recovery.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hi, I will contact my church in the morning and ask for Adrienne to b p;aced on our prayer list also. Double pneumonia and an enlarged don't make a good combination at all!! I will say an extra prayer for her tonight. Good Night and God Bless, Dolores Malilibear@... wrote:Hi all, Adrienne is back in the hospital again and has been there since early in the week. She has double pneumonia again, this time worse than when she had it in January. They think she is aspirating so much that it's causing the pneumonia. She also has a line infection on top of the pneumonia. She's on O2 and also on IV antibiotics. They pulled her line and will hopefully place a new one this coming week. She also found out her heart is enlarged which wasn't a problem 2 mths ago, so her doctors are concerned. She sounds pretty sick, so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
