Dear Friends,
A quick post tonight to let you know that Eddie has been really fighting for his life in these last few days. I've been talking with Kori as much as I can--though far less than our usual couple times a week--and we've been texting back and forth a lot. One of Eddie's lungs collapsed last week; he was hospitalized and sent home over the weekend. His breathing was so bad yesterday he was rushed back to Boston and admitted to the ICU. The team there wanted to put in a chest tube; they can't because he's in such bad shape. There's a lot going on and it seems to be changing so quickly, but it seems now that they are hoping that new lungs will become available for Eddie...and fast.
Please pray for our dear friend and his family. We are so worried about them, and so frustrated that they've reached such a crisis point at a time when we're not available to be with them, and exposed to our own set of pneumonia-germs here, too. It makes me sick to my stomach.
Thanks, all.
Take care,
Melissa
P.S. Eddie was in the news last week, even while he was in the hospital (this link is also on the right side of the page, under "Eddie in the News"):
