Harriett in Hospital - Very Serious!

Folks... Leon called me tonight. Harriett Hughes is back in the hospital. If you will recall she was in about a week ago because she was so sick. Apparently, she developed a viral infection that has affected her heart. Her heart is only working at 1/3 function. She has been in the hospital since Monday or Tuesday. They did a heart catheritization on Friday, and she is very uncomfortable.. Leon says they are going to try her on some medications and they are praying for a miracle - a recovery of the heart.... However, if the meds do not work, Harriett is going to have to have a heart transplant. Leon says if the meds can at least keep her heart stable for a period of time, she will go on the heart transplant list and will hopefully get one in time. If not, she would most likely not get one soon enough. You guys....PLEASE PRAY HARD AND LONG for our dear friend Harriett. This is such a LOVELY lady who just got her new lease on life in August. This just isn't fair... (I guess I should emphasize that this has nothing to do with her WLS) Please join me in praying or sending your positive thoughts in Harriett's direction. Thanks. Tami
