Who knew that pneumonia could be so painful? I have just returned from the hospital with fistfuls of instructions and sacks of medications. One of the challenges is getting the right antibiotics to be effective without bringing on the dreaded C-Diff. I have an infected left lung and since my hemoglobin was as low as it has ever been, I got a blood transfusion as well. As always, we approach this with hopes that the medications will be effective. I will write more as the week advances.

I’m so sorry that you are facing yet another challenge. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily. I’ll wait until I hear from you via e-mail that you are up to a phone conversation. Weather in Portland continues with temperatures in the 70’s and low 80’s with frequent hours of full sun and low humidity. My kind of summer. I hope that the sun (and Son) are shining on you and Charles, too.
Blessings,
Mira
