I’ve been having shortness of breath for several weeks, which we chalked up to the pneumonia, but it’s just gotten worse. Yesterday I had trouble just walking from one room to the next. Today, just sitting on the couch with a friend. In fact, I’m still having trouble, even though I’ve been hooked up to the oxygen all day.
We’re going to the ER now, to get scans, at the direction of my oncologist. Please pray for us tonight.
Love to you all and all whom you love,
Susan
