Prayer Request Update - 9/30 - 10:06am

Please keep Tracy and Kenneth McDonald in your prayers. (Many of you know Tracy as "Fitness Tracy".) Her husband Kenneth, 45, is in PRMC South ICU with double pneumonia. He was put on a ventilator early Monday morning and the doctors have said it may be 2-3 weeks before he can come off of it. They do not know the cause of the pneumonia yet. The cultures are not growing anything, so it is possibly chemical. He was tested for the flu and that was negative. Tracy said Kenneth’s oxygen saturation levels stayed up all day yesterday and his white cell count was better. Yesterday, his lungs were not absorbing the oxygen, his S.A.T. levels were not as high as they wanted them. So, some better news but, still on the vent with sedation. The doctor just said it will be a long road. (The McDonald's are friends of the Bulls.)
