Please pray for Abby!

Abby is a 20-year old friend of ours who we met through 4-H and showing sheep at the local fairs. She is a tenacious young woman who has endured many health challenges, including a kidney transplant 5 years ago. She and her parents have been a great resource and encouragement to us in our own kidney adventure. They are very special people. Abby and Samuel share the same nephrologist and Abby sometimes visited Samuel in dialysis when she would come for a clinic appointment. She just graduated from photography school....an incredible accomplishment

On Saturday morning, Abby arrived at the emergency room very ill. She was eventually admitted to the hospital, but shortly after getting to her room, she was moved down to the ICU....into the very room that Samuel had just vacated!!

Please, please pray for Abby. She is in septic shock. I don't know much about sepsis, but I do know that Abby has some type of infection raging throughout her body, her blood pressure is dangerously low, and her transplanted kidney is at risk. I was able to visit her for a short while. She was pretty loopy from the pain meds, extremely talkative, and keeping everyone in the room well-entertained....so ill, yet so full of life!

I would be so grateful if those of you who have been praying for Samuel would also pray for Abby.
