I am asking you all for prayers, for good thoughts, for whatever you can give. Please. Carol has been in the hospital now for two weeks with pneumonia. Her sister just called me tonight and they put her on life support. She's in very bad shape and, well, the doctors aren't holding out a lot of hope at this point. She can't walk, she can't breathe, she can't talk. She is conscious, but that's pretty much it. She had called me right after she went into the hospital and she was in bad shape then, could barely talk. She started to come around, but then the pneumonia came back. She is elderly and has a terrible time getting around as it is. It is just a bad thing the whole way around.

Autumn is being cared for by one of the neighbors. If anything happens to Carol, I think the neighbor will probably take Autumn in. I know that Carol's biggest fear was that Autumn would have to go back to a shelter and be put down, but I don't think that will happen, not according to her sister. (I'm trying to Rick into letting me go over and bring Autumn home to us, but that is not going well. Not with the clan we have as it is.)

Please do whatever you can for her. She needs everything we can spare. Thank you so much.

Thank you, all of you. I'm not really handling this very well myself. Carol and I have had history that go back, probably to the late 1990s, I'm thinking. We met from a cat board (on Cat Fancy back then), she's come here, and I've gone to Jersey to her place. We've had our ups and downs and we may not agree on a lot of things, but we've managed to stay friends. She makes me spastic and I make her crazy. And I think the world of her.

Poor Carol and her family and friends! She will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope she's not in much pain at all.

I am glad to hear her cat is being tended to in the mean time.

May God bless dear Carol with the strength to keep fighting for a return to health, and peace for sweet Autumn, who must be confused and frightened. I'll definitely keep them both in my thoughts and prayers, the more we have to say a prayer, the louder it will be heard!  I will bring them up at the services on this special day for everyone to pray for them. All the luck!
