Active Rainers! Donna Foerster needs your prayers!

Reblogger Amy Hahn
Real Estate Agent with Pine Knoll Shores Realty NCRE# 242843

Our fellow Member, Donna Foerster needs our prayers right now!  I don't know about all of you, but Donna has been a wonderful friend to me.  She has been one of my biggest cheerleaders through my Quit Smoking Journey, and I am saddened to hear that she is not well.  Please pray for her and her husband, Rich, and continue to pray until she's healthy again and back in the rain! 

Donna - We are thinking of you and we miss you!

Donna_and_rich_-_copyMany of you have seen Donna's picture, read her blog, and even been regular commenters on her posts. Her husband, Rich, told me today there have been many emails sent to Donna from her friends at AR asking where she was and was she okay because she hasn't been blogging. So, with his permission, I'm writing a brief post to let you know how concerned we are all about her health right now. And to ask for your prayers.

Donna wasn't feeling well early last week, she thought she might have eaten something that caused food poisoning. Just a little over a day and a half later, she needed to be rushed to the hospital, had undergone two surgeries, and as of today, a week ago now, she still has not regained consciousness long enough for the doctors to feel it's safe to remove her air tube. Her white blood cell count today was so elevated that it is obvious the removal of approximately 75% of her small intestine did not rid her body of all the infection. The last I heard the doctors were weighing the pros and cons of yet another surgery.

Please take a moment to mention Donna in your prayers if you would.

You know...that is what is so wonderful about Active Rain.  When one of us goes missing...someone is bound to go looking.  Donna and her family will be in my prayers for a speedy recovery.  Thank you for sharing and reblogging Amy!

I just saw on Facebook, that they did another emergency surgery last night, and the Doctor is giving her a 10% chance of recovery.  We gotta keep those prayers going strong for Donna!
