Prayer Request

My mother in law has been battling pneumonia and finished two weeks of antibiotics Sunday and went to the doctor yesterday only to discover the antibiotics didn't work and that she would need to be admitted to the hospital. They told her she would need to be there 2-4 days which means there's a good chance she'll be there for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We usually get together with all of my mother in law's family for Christmas Eve for a big Dutch Family get together (read: loud and really fun!) at Oma and Opa's house in Caldwell. Christmas Day we're supposed to be with my husband's grandparents which is a bigger turn out then usual this year with David's cousin Brian and his family driving up from Arizona (well they're trying to get here...they had to reroute and are still on the road) along with our family, David's brother and his girlfriend, and David's Aunt Diane and Uncle Ed who's patience at the Portland Airport eventually paid off and they arrived in Boise last night.

Please pray that the antibiotics they gave my mother in law will work and that she will be well enough to go home tomorrow. I know she hates to be in the hospital (who doesn't?) and it's even worse to have it happen during the holidays when family is visiting.
