Received a text from Josh this morning that read in part, "Rebekah probably has pulmonary infarction caused by blood clot.  On pain meds now.  Continuing to treat with heparin."

From what I've read in the past half hour or so, this is a serious condition, with outcomes varying greatly depending on a variety of other factors.  Most of those who are treated do well, and mortality for those being treated appears to be about 5%.  "Infarction" means tissue death. 

No word on Eden.  Please pray.
