Bad News (update)

General
I want to thank everyone who put forth support in my last journal. I love my aunt very much, and she's been through a lot of hard times and maintained a great attitude. Though I wouldn't want to keep her from her "great reward", she'd be greatly missed.
So far, the news has been good. She originaly entered the hospital with pnemonia, but during the night there were other complications and problems with her heart. At one point, her heart stopped and she needed to be revived by the staff.
A breathing tube was inserted as well and an external pacemaker, but her heartbeats were weak and blood pressure low.
As of my last conversation with her eldest daughter (my cousin Heidi), her heart and blood pressure are still weak, but she's awake and responding to commands. The most hopefull sign is that she's striving to speak and fighting her breathing tube.
She's always been a cranky one...
She's not "out of the woods" yet, but things are definitly more hopefull then they were last night.
I'll be praying.
D.O.P.R
