Update on Patricia Anne Britton-Sink (3-15-07)

The following update was received today from Mary Parsons. Please continue to keep Particia in your prayers.

Dear Family, My sister, Patricia, is now off the respirator and breathing on her own with the help of oxygen as needed. She is still in CCU, Baptist East Hospital, in Louisville and is still in critical condition. However, our Lord has worked miracles thus far and we continue to pray for total recovery. For now we are grateful for the improvement. All her systems and functions are now performing within a normal range at last checkpoint. The nurses are amazed. So are we. Please continue to pray for we are not out of the woods yet. She is still responding to the antibiotics and pneumonia is a danger. Thank you, Mary Louise

Two Topics: Donations to honor Bob O'Connell and Peters Family Military Veterans' Quilt

If you were unable to send flowers or make a contribution in honor of Bob O'Connell, the family has suggested that donations may be made to the Peters Family Reunion fund in honor of Bob.

Also, on another topic: Aunt Ruby received only a few photos of Peters Family service men to use for the quilt she was planning to make in honor of family members who served in the military. Therefore, she will not be able to make the quilt.

(On a personal note, I thought Aunt Ruby's offer to make the quilt was a tremendously patriotic and loving gesture on her part. I'm sad that the response to her request to send the photos was not good. We lost a precious family treasure! Thanks Aunt Ruby for your desire to give our family such a special gift.)

Dear Mark, Please share the good news with the family. My sister, Patricia, is still living. the nurses are calling her their "miracle". She is still very, very ill but she does have a chance. Our prayer now is for a total recovery. Her kidneys are beginning to function on their own so we have s tiny ray of light for this. We do serve a God who is able to do exceedingly well.
