Jim's brother

Jim's brother, Bob Smith, was admitted to the hospital for shortness of breath and just not feeling good.  It turns out that he was in Atrial Fibrillation (a heart rhythm problem) and has pneumonia.  He also has emphysema so this made this all worse.  They put him on a ventilator and sedated him to give his lungs a rest and to deal with his heart rate, etc.  His heart rate is much improved and he is receiving IV meds for the pneumonia.  Something has now happened to cause his kidneys to not function as well (a little confusion here when talking to his wife, Carol), but suffice it to say that Bob is very ill.  Also this is the weekend for their granddaughter's wedding.... the good news is that all of the immediate family is in town for the wedding.... the bad news.... Bob is very ill....  but the best news... God knows and His ways are perfect.  Oh, and the father of the bride just came down with the flu.  Please pray.... meet you at the throne of Almighty God for grace to help in time of need.
