Britney has Pneumonia

Britney had a lot of spasms when I got here yesterday and more secretions. She was having a hard time breathing. The sputum they took from the day she had her fever on the 1st grew out MRSA a resistant antibiotic. She was given a very very strong antibiotic linezolid starting last night and has been getting fluids. She has not had any fevers but her heart rate has been very high and she has needed more oxygen overnight. Thank you all for still praying for her and following her blog despite the sparse updates. We love you all and are so so grateful for all the support that has been given in every way. You all have showed us incredible compassion. We are and will always be so grateful. Even though her progress has been slow and she is having set backs she is improving and we still have hope that she will come back to us fully through a long road. Thank you all of you for not giving up on her.

  6. I am so glad you were there with Britney, John. That must be a comfort to both of you. You are so good about posting when you can. I never forget all of you in my prayers. Seeing your smiling faces along the side of the blog reminds me what all of us are praying for.

  7. I dont even know you guys, I just found this blog on blogger and its bookmarked and I check it and pray for Britney daily. I bet there are tons more like me who just stumbled upon this blog and are really invested with Britney and her family, all of whom we have never met. God works on His own time but I know he loves Britney and her family SO much and has a plan and reason for everything that happens. Stay strong and when you feel you can't do anything, let the Lord take over and do it for you. God and Prayer heals!!!

    Just want you to know that not a day goes by wihout a prayer for Britney in our family. Our boys also continue to pray for her & often ask how she is doing. We all LOVE her so much & realize that having patience & pressing forward in faith, must be challenging at times, yet you continue to do so! We greatly admire you for that!!! We KNOW God will keep his promises & we pray He will continue to bless and comfort each of you as you continue forth! You are ALL in our prayers!
