A Special Request
Dear friends,
I want to ask of you a very special favor. My friend Cammi needs your prayers desperately. Instead of trying to explain it myself, I will use the words from her husband Lance's recent post:
"You may recall that in a prior blog post I mentioned that Cammi's diaphragm hasn't been fully functioning. We learned tonight that this coming Monday Cammi is scheduled to have a study done on her diaphragm to determine how well it is functioning. The results of that study could greatly influence the future prognosis for Cammi's lungs and the future strategy for Cammi's recovery from her lung transplant.
Based on tests that have previously been conducted on Cammi, it appears that her right diaphragm is not functioning and her left diaphragm has limited function. It's still unclear to what extent the left diaphragm will be able to strengthen and give her more breathing support. Because the diaphragm is an important muscle in the breathing process, its diminished function has contributed to Cammi's slow recovery from the transplant.
Cammi has made remarkable progress so far and continues to get stronger with each day. Her doctors continue to be optimistic that she will have a successful recovery. However, the integrity of her diaphragm could be a key factor in how successful that recovery can be.
We appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers that have been given by all of you on Cammi's behalf and we know that you continue to keep Cammi in your thoughts and prayers. Because the results of Monday's test are extremely important for Cammi, we would appreciate it if you would please keep a special prayer in your heart, thought in your mind or whatever other method you may use for producing positive, spiritual strength and energy for Cammi over the next few days. For those of you who would like to do so, we would also welcome you in joining us in a special fast for Cammi on Sunday. "
Please join me in extra prayer and fasting, if you are able, to ask God to intervene on Cammi's behalf and help her diaghram to start functioning.
Thank you all so much! My love, Nancy
