Another Update on Naomy

My son and I went to the movies yesterday, courtesy of Daddy, to see the new Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs movie. I was eager to see this movie which has gotten very good reviews. As we were walking into the movie theater, I got a text message from my friend Naomy. She was back in the ER. It was deja vu for me, because the last time she texted me to say she was in the hospital, E and I were walking into the theater to watch UP. I quickly texted as many friends as I could so we could all lift her up in prayer. As soon as I could, I called her up. She had a terrible headache, and felt as though her eye was going to blow right out of her head. After much persuasion from her mother, she decided it was best to go back to the hospital where she'd gone with the pneumonia. They were running all kinds of tests, so we'd have to wait for the results to find out what was going on.

Unfortunately, I turned in early last night with a migraine so I didn't know what was going on. This morning she called me, still in the hospital, with a diagnosis: she has chronic sinusitis. It may not seem like anything serious (don't lots of people suffer from sinusitus?), but after having been in the hospital with pneumonia and a round of antibiotics, it would seem unlikely that she'd be getting worse. The problem with Naomy is that her auto-immune disorder keeps her natural defenses down, and after being sick she's even weaker. Please keep her in your prayers. She's normally a vibrant, energetic woman, and this is keeping her from being her fun-loving active self. Thanks.
