Dear Trinity family,
Just a quick note about a few items this weekend. Tonight is the first screening of The Chosen that's taking place at the church @ 6:30PM with the series being shown upstairs and the animated version downstairs.
Also, our 2nd membership class takes place this Sunday @ 9:00AM. If you were unable to join us for the first class, you can still jump in. Sunday school continues for all ages as well.
Thank you to those who have prayed for Bree over the past several days. For those who are not on our "prayer request" group on our app, around 1:15AM on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, Bree's breathing had become more labored and her pain was quite high despite her having taken a significant amount of pain medication.
Since she'd had a blood clot in her lung before, we didn't want to take any chances and so I took her to the ER in New London. After putting her on oxygen, determining it was not a clot and not knowing if it was pneumonia, pneumonitis, or advancing disease, they admitted her and began IV antibiotics. Her breathing has improved on continuous 2 liters of oxygen and her pain, while present, has lessened. We are hopeful she'll be released today, but I don't have any firm information on that yet.
Lord willing, she'll be at church on Sunday. Just as a heads up, know that she will be on oxygen and will be wearing a mask for the remainder of the winter. Because the risk of her catching something is high, please don't be offended if we prefer you express your care from a distance. It's just where we are these days. Thank you for your prayer and all of your offers of support. We expect her to receive round 2 of her clinical trial this week and we're hopeful that the more she receives, the more likely she'll make some progress.
God bless and I hope to see you on Sunday!
In Christ
