    She will remain in our prayers, as will you and Salmon kitty.

    The old hymn runs through my mind given your situation;

    Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
    The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide
    When other helpers fail and comforts flee
    Help of the helpless, Lord, abide with me
    I've Been Frosted

    Prayers and good warm wishes are continuing, Pat.

    Good news about Diane getting off the ventilator! I'll keep praying. The hospital social worker might be able to help you start the process of obtaining a disabled parking permit and making a referral for caregiver services. I hope Diane is able to keep breathing on her own. Take care of yourself too, please, Pat. Psalm 143:1

    tobacco

    diane was awake today without the ventaleter and she knew i was there when i saw her.. i asked the doctors what happened to diane.. her lungs are bad. due to 35 years of smoking tobacco.. if she survives she only has a short time say a year o two.. she smoked on the average 4-6 packes everyday for 35 years and one day i watched her go through a whole carton of smokes in one day.. she quit smoking 12-28-2005 so a month from today would be 7 years no tobacco. pray for diane

    Praying that she will have a good night and rest well. I believe that powerful things happen when Pet Talk members pray, because I have seen it happen with my own eyes.
