JUST A QUICK NOTE

Pauly's mom is in the hospital. She was taken there Friday afternoon. Diagnosis - pneumonia completely covering her left lung. Sepsis (read about it here)has set in. Most of you know she is suffering from Alzheimer's. She is already weakened. They only gave her a 10% chance of survival. The good news is, she has been having breathing treatments and major doses of iv antibiotics and they seem to be working. She was more alert today and was taken off the oxygen mask. She could communicate again. We are hoping and praying for the best. Please keep her, her family, and her doctors in your thoughts and prayers.

We are so grateful for Pauly's mom and the wonderful woman she is. She is a superb mother and has given her children and those around her all she could. We are grateful for our knowledge of Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ and the power of prayer. We pray that His will for Pauly's sweet mother can be accomplished.
Thank you
