PG, we are still praying for Amy. I would take Jennifer's request, and see if someting can be done about the tickets.

I have exhausted those possibilities already. The tickets were purchased through a travel agency, discounted, and last Thursday, when we knew Amy was not ready for travel, we paid $130/ticket to have the departure date extended as far as possible for those tickets, which is AUG 26. It will be a start-over on the tickets, and I am watching prices for one-way HSV-HNL now.

In a few minutes Amy will have a thoracentecis -- fluid from her lungs will be removed by inserting a hollow needle in. Sounds more painful than it is, we are told, but, in any case, that fluid needs to come out so she can get pain relief and he ability to breath deeply.

Just saw this praying right now.

Amy's thoracentecis procedure extracted almost a liter (600 cc) fluid from her right lung. Her breathing is better and pain is somewhat lessened. Thanks for the love and prayers.

Update on Amy, Pastor G?

I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing! Galatians 2:21

Should have posted something earlier -- thanks for asking:

We are still in hospital #2 as I write. A post-operative complication arose in Huntsville, Alabama last Friday, and Vanderbilt advised that we take Amy to the ER at Crestwood Medical Center... shortness of breath, chest pains...

The initial, preliminary diagnosis was pneumonia, and they set out a 3-day course of intense antibiotics to treat that, but subsequent testing changed that diagnosis to pleurisy. 700 cc's of fluid (I said 600 cc's earlier in error) was removed from her right lung through Thoracentesis, and once her breathing gets regulated sufficiently, they will allow her to go "home" to her Dad's house. We forfeited our Delta tickets today when we missed the rescheduled flight, and will have to start over and purchase one-way flights to Hawaii. Prayers for her rapid healing and discharge from Crestwood are needed.

As one who has had pluerisy, my heart goes out to Amy. Still praying for a rapid recovery.
