Megan....

I want to add this today so everyone can keep Megan in their prayers and thoughts. Ashley's room-mate and Best Friend became sick last Monday and by Monday night was in the hospital at Portsmouth Naval Hospital. From what I understand, she has Mono and Pneumonia. Ash and a bunch of her boat-mates have been by her bedside every minute they can and in the waiting room all the time.

By Thursday night, she took a turn for the worst and is now in ICU on a ventilator and has a 10% chance to make it. Her Dr.s have said she could go at any minute. The Coast Guard has flown her parents down from Michigan and it's just bad. Her (and Ash's) command has been there at the hospital with her family and have been wonderful.

When we went up to Virginia to visit Ash a couple months ago, we took Megan out to eat with us and spent alot of time with her. She is a wonderful girl, very career minded and has a great positive attitude and loves to laugh! Here is a pic of Ash and Megan...

I spoke with Ash last night and she was at the hospital. She said the Dr.s aren't 100% clear on what exactly the problem is, but they will keep her on the vent until they can figure it out. They're pretty sure what ever it is, it's viral and she tested negative for swine flu.

Here's Megan in their sleeping area on the boat...

Anyways...think positive!

Today, we are going back to Table Rock for the Pickin'! All of us are going as we usually do! Ya'll know I'll post pics on here tomorrow!

More soon-
