Just talked to Randall

and he said that the doctor just came by and talked with them. He said that Joie has showed no signs of improvement. They have diagnosed her with strepto****al pneumo****al pneumonia. At least now they know what they are treating. They will change her antibiotics and start treating her specifically for this disease. After 48 hours they hope to see improvement. Joie is still in very critical condition. I thank you for keeping them in your prayers. Randall wanted me to express to you how thankful he is to all of you. He appreciates all the prayers, visits and phone calls. He said the phone calls were overwhelming and that he was not trying to be rude or unappreciative, but he was just not able to take them. If you would like to call you may call me at 256-435-1855 home or my cell is 256-283-6016 (cingular). I don't mind you calling. We will continue to post updates as we get them. I can't began to tell you how the outpouring of love and support has brought comfort to us. Yesterday while in the MICU waiting room the Pastor asked, "Who are all these people that you speak of?" I smiled so proudly and said, "They are our OH FAMILY!" Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Okay, I just received another update while typing out this post. The nurse came out and asked Randall to sign a paper granting permission for them to do a bronchostomy on her. This could be very dangerous as Joie is already in a weekend state. The nurse said that it could cause her to go downhill, but the test needed to be done. Thanks again for everything. Love to all, Becky

Thanks for the update....will keep on praying!

Becky, Thanks for keeping us updated so we how to direct our prayers. I am believing God for a healing of Joie. Last spring I was in the same condition of Joie is now. I also was diagnosed with strepto****al pneumo****al pneumonia. The Dr told my wife the second night in the hospital that I would probably not make it thru the night. But here I am and have no problems since. I know it was a healing based on lots of prayers from friends and family. Once the anitibotics took hold, I got better real fast. Praying the same for Joie. Dan

Thank you so much for the update. I will continue to lift Randall and Joie in prayer. Letty

Hi Becky. Thanks for keeping us posted. I am praying. In His Love, Peg

The latest talk with the doctors at 3PM is that Joie's lungs are severely damaged and that the they were going to put her in a medical-induced coma. They said they were taking her moment by moment. It was stressed that she was in very critical condition. Thanks for all your prayers. Becky

My prayers continue for this couple..... Ruthanna
