a long way yet

It's approaching two weeks since my mama friend contracted bacterial meningitis.  While her condition is stable, she is still hospitalized in ICU, paralyzed (though showing some hopeful signs of regaining feeling), and fighting the infection.   Please continue to keep her, her unborn baby, husband, two young children, family, friends, and caretakers in your prayers.  It looks to be a long road to recovery for her, but we fervently pray and maintain hope that she'll travel it with grace and gusto as she does everything else, and that soon she'll be restored to complete health.
