Our friend Kate(tousled1) need our prayers. She is in the hospital.
Hi, everybody,
Sorry to let you all know that Kate is in the hospital. She was admitted yesterday because of the pneumonia.
She is in good spirits, and she is feeling Ok, but she still has a fever.
Now she needs our prayers for a speedy recovery.
I will keep you all updated as soon as I have more news.
KarlaV.

Please tell her I am thinking about her. I was very concerned about the fever and I private messaged her on Friday. I am glad she is in the hospital to receive the round the clock care I think she needs to whip this bug down and out.
Love and hugs to Kate

I hope she is better soon. I have been worried about her but thought that she had improved. Tell her she will be in my prayers.

Thank you Karla for letting us know. Can't stop thinking about our Kate. Of course she is in good spirits! That is who she is at her radiant core! A beautiful Soul.
We all love you Kate. I haven't stopped praying for you, but will now accelerate and add sending torrents of loving, healing energy directly to you. I know you have the strength and courage to weather this already, but heaps of prayers in your name are in the vapors trying to speed the process. Soon, Kate. Get well soon... WITH BIG HUGS, ALONG WITH MY LOVE,
Andi
