Blogger Down

I just got a shocking email.

I have a reader named Leah Friedman. She has a blog. She’s 18, and she lives in Israel. I didn’t know anything but her name and that she was very pretty, until I received this message:

Sorry for the “send all” but we are exhausted. I would like nothing more than to send a personal note to each and everyone of you and will do that as time permits.
Today is a good day, the doctors are encouraged and have put Leah on an as needed ventilator.
She is frustrated and hates the machine, good! She cries but is not in pain.
She can squeeze your hands and will follow you with her eyes. I asked her to wiggle her toes and she moved her legs.
We read to her, sing to her, she has her ipod, and her favorite CD’s. I even told her that I ate her entire stash of chocolate!

It may be weeks before we know how much if any brain damage she has suffered.The doctors said ‘this is not an illness one gets over”
not knowing how long she was not breathing is difficult. One day at a time.

Thank you everyone As I said in my blog post I truly believe it was ya’lls prayers and G-ds grace.

B’Avahav, Mish

I don’t know how I ended up on the email list. I used Google to find her blog, and I located this post. It says she has a heart condition, and evidently something went wrong, and she has been in the hospital since April 3rd.

Do me a favor and say a prayer for her. And maybe you could leave a comment on her blog, so she’ll be able to see it when she feels better.
