Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs.

Ladies, I need prayers for a friend's daughter, Jesah. Paula (my friend) writes:

Dear friends and family, please pray for my daughter Jesah. She was admitted to the hospital on Saturday night with pneumonia. They're pumping her with IV fluids and meds but she's still very weak and has zero immunities to fight back. She's also upset cuz college starts back up this week and she's missing her first week of classes. Bless.....

Paula was very influential in my early homeschooling days. She is also the godmother of our adopted son. Her daughter is such a lovely person with a huge heart. Paula also has a huge heart and would give you the shirt off her back. She has had some hard times herself, but right now she is with her daughter at the hospital surrounded by loving family and friends.

Please if you can, offer a prayer for Jesah. I will update as I know more. Thanks so much.

Update 1/12
I received this message from Paula today (on Facebook):

Thank you soooo much prayer warriors! Jesah's beginning to feel a bit better. She's still coughing a lot but is off oxygen now and even ate a few bites of chicken. Her liver enzymes remain high tho so in the morning she'll have an ultrasound and chest xray. She's still very weak but is smiling more and getting a bit or...nry. All good signs right? Soon we'll have our happy and healthy girl back again! :)

And a second update today...
Testing Jesah for mono. All visitors must wear a mask and gown. The doctors seem to be searching for answers to her high enzymes and bloated belly. Hepatitis is still a possibility. She feels like a pin cushion. :(

So the news is mixed.I am so grateful to all of you. I continue to keep you all in my prayers.

Final Update
Paula writes:
Today Jesah was diagnosed with mono which explains a lot. Thank goodness no hepatitis! Still has pneumonia but is getting better. Being discharged tomorrow to rest, rest, and rest some more! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers!!

Thank you ladies for all of your prayers!

Whew! I saw the "final update" title and thought the worst! So glad they have figured it out and she is on the mend. Praying for a quick and full recovery.

Yay! Mono is much better than some of the other worrisome possibilities. I'm still praying.
