Update on Kortney

Hey everyone. Wanted to update you on Kortney's condition.

Kortney was flown to the hospital at U of M in Ann Arbor, Michigan. All of her immediate family and several friends are there with her now. She is still in critical condition in the ICU. The flight there was a very critical time but it sounded like other than one instance on the way there with her blood pressure dropping but then stabilizing, all went well.

I'd encourage you to go to the following site for more information. Please go to Kortney's guestbook and leave her some special notes, encouragement and prayers. She and her family would appreciate your prayers during this critical time. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/kortneyarmentrout1

Please Pray for Kortney

To all those that read my blog I'd ask that you pray for Kortney Armentrout pictured here with me. She is a Bethel college student, a former student of mine but more importantly she is a great friend of mine.

About a week ago she got sick kind of out of the blue. She went to the doctor and they gave her some medication and sent her home. A few days later it was still worse and so they sent her to the hospital. Things have continued to escalate. She has pneumonia in both lungs, the worst possible from what the doctors have told the family. She also has an infection in her jaw and throat and they found out yesterday she has a bacterial infection in her bloodstream.

I sat down with Wade and Kelli for a little bit yesterday and got an update from them. They both could use prayer for strength, guidance, wisdom and rest.

Overnight, Kortney's blood pressure started getting worse.

The biggest thing that I and the family would ask for those who know or don't know Kortney right now is to PRAY!!

Thanks.
