A friend of mine's mother has been diagnosed with ARDS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_respiratory_distress_syndromeShe is in very critical condition and had to be moved from the hospital she was in (via Life Flight) to another, more sophisticated hospital a hour or so away.
She is a very sweet lady and all who know her love her dearly.
There are a number of other medical issues in this family including the same friend's niece who is dealing with cancer, his uncle battling lymphoma and his sister-in-law recently going through a battle with breast cancer.
The family is in serious need of prayer. Please, lift them up when you pray. All of them, that I know, are Christian.
Thanks.
