Kevin,
Sorry I am late to the thread. I normally do not peruse the entire forum, but this caught my eye.
As I am agnostic, to offer prayers would be quite an oxymoron. I do very much hope for a speedy recovery from this round of pneumonia that Herself is suffering from.
Two years ago I was diagnosed with PE's (pulmonary embolisms in the lower lobes of both lungs, i.e. blood clots), a large abcess in the upper lobe of my right lung, and possible pneumonia. I was in the horsepistol for a week, and upon discharge was on O2 for many months, as well as Warfarin (blood thinner/rat poison) for 6 months to preclude any more clots forming in my lower legs and possibly passing to my lungs or brain (stroke). I lost 35 pounds during the early months and had to eat nearly 3000 calories per day just to gain about 1-2 lbs per day while I was on Clindomycin for 3 months to treat my abcess (vets give the same doses to horses for various infections). That was the very nastiest antibiotic I have ever taken.
I can empathize with Herself and you for what she is possibly going through. Again, I am wishing for Herself to have a very speedy and complete recovery.
For all of the Christians here, Godspeed.
Jim
