Thank you so much Teresa. After 2 months in ICU they finally took her off the ventilator which is truly a blessing ~ thanks and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ. She's doing so much better now and although she still undergoes dialysis, we are so grateful for the improvement. Your kind thoughts are appreciated. #7127765
