So my family apparently can't catch a break these days. My cousin, Katelyn, who is only about 17, is in critical condition right now and needs all the prayers she can get. She has been not feeling well for a few weeks, and my Aunt Marianne (who cared for her as her own daughter...very long story), was worried she had pneumonia, but Katelyn was having difficulty getting her boyfriend's family to take her to urgent care (she lives with them in Ohio). Anyway, somehow she ended up in the hospital yesterday, and we found out last night that there are problems with her heart (don't know specifically what), and she was being helicoptered to another hospital and might need open heart surgery, and was 3 months pregnant and they might need to take the baby to save her life. My Aunt Marianne was leaving this morning to go down there, but at 5am got a call that something happened and they were doing CPR on her, and she might be on or might need to go on life-support (details are very fuzzy due to crazy family and no one knowing what's going on over there). So my aunt left in a rush this morning and is just about there. Currently we know she is more stable, although not nearly out of the woods. They've done something to her heart to help stabilize her (maybe a catheter?), but she is bleeding (don't know where or where from....possible vaginally and miscarrying the baby?), and being moved to another building. So please, please pray for her. She obviously has kind of a screwed up life right now. She's been abandoned by multiple family members in the past, and obviously hasn't been cared for recently. We're just really praying she pulls through this, and that somehow God can take this situation and use it to His glory and maybe bring Katelyn back to Him.
On top of all this, we had a family weekend planned for my parents due to their missing their trip to Europe. My brother and our spouses had arranged for a limo tonight and a night out, as well as a fun day tomorrow. My mom may or may not be needed in Ohio now (long story, but Katelyn's family is not part of our family...Katelyn's not technically my cousin, but has been raised as such). So it's not really appropriate to my mom to be there, but my aunt may need her. So everything is just crazy right now. So we're all pretty upset right now, and would appreciate all prayers for Katelyn, my aunt, and this unborn baby.
