Monday afternoon, March 19
After a tough day yesterday (Sunday) Annie is doing better today. She has had some complications with fluid accumulating around her lungs which means whe she will have to stay on the ventilator for another day or two. The ventialator is a fairly large tube that goes through her mouth, down her throat, and into her lungs. It can breath for her, or it can support her own breathing. It adds pressure to her breaths which helps to push out the fluid and re-inflate her lung. With it in she can't speak, and it can be very uncomfortable, with a lot of gagging if she is not properly medicated. So Annie is fairly heavily medicated right now, and will be so for the next day or two until her lungs clear.
It has been clear from the beginning that the Lord has been by Annie's side the whole time, and by ours. He is answering all of our prayers with his grace, his amazing grace! We are forever greatful for all of your love and prayers and support. We know we will never be able to thank you enough for all you are doing for Annie, and we also know that the Lord will bless you more than is imaginiable for your great gifts of charity on her behalf.
May God bless you all.
Paul Fuglevand
In all your ways be mindful of him, and He will make straight your paths."
-Proverbs 3:5-6

Paul, you are amazing and know that you are in our prayers always and especially today as we celebrate the feast of St. Joseph. You are truly a model father to annie and to me. We love you!
Thank you, Paul, for the update and beautiful words. So many people are praying and want to know how our Annie is doing. They all send their love and prayers. You know we are standing right beside all of you and ready to help in any way possible. Our prayers are constant for each one of you.
Please let the doctors and nurses caring for Annie know we are praying for them, too. We will be forever grateful for their abilities. It is simply extraordinary what they have done and continue to do.
We love you!
Prayers lifted up to our God, the God of Mercy and Healing.
