Thanks, guys. You have no idea what your thoughts and prayers mean to me.
My sister called and said not to go to the hospital. The place is jam-packed with flu victims and is a huge incubator of illness. I got my flu shot a while back, but it's not a guarantee. (Mom had her flu shot too, and look where it got her.) Evidently that town (Hagerstown) is experiencing an epidemic of classic proportions. She laid in a cubicle in the ER for 11 hours before a bed opened up for her. Everybody in the hospital is wearing face masks- they make everyone put one on when they walk in the door. Sis said, in regards to my coming for the "vigil", that a doctor told her to keep me away that with my new hip I'm particularly prone to infections of any sort (including pneumonia) effecting it. I'm thinking perhaps I'll go anyway.

Gary, prayers sent from east Tennessee. If you go out, wear glasses and a mask. Carry alcohol based antiseptic for your hands and use it frequently. Virgorous hand washing is recommended as well. Flu virus usually comes from nasal oral secretions that impact eyes or nose or mouth directly, or from your hands when you rub your eyes, nose or mouth. Be careful!

I'm not one to ask for prayers, but at this point I'll take any help I can get. Geez, I feel lost... ****************************************************************** Gnoahhh, my friend... I don't "bother" Him for "little things", but only when it's really important, so I reminded Him that your Mom and you both need His help... and I feel confident it will be forthcoming very soon.  Strength & Honor... Ron T.
It's smart to hang around old guys 'cause they know lotsa stuff...

Praying it all works out well.
That infection/joint replacement is a very real concern. But I'd probably go anyway, just take lots of precautions.

Gary, "feeling lost" is just the start of finding something wonderful, and can be an answer to prayer. When we come to the end of ourselves and we cant "fix it", we have to turn to others and a Higher power for help. It's not all bad..
Hang in there, prayers going up for you and your Mom. Hope she heals up and you and yours can relax again.
Dave

Update: All of your kindness must have worked (as well as some pretty good doctors). She seems to have turned the corner and is breathing/resting easier.
