Update 2 on Karen Underwood
The fluid around her heart is not severely affecting her heart muscle. However, the doctors are now concentrating on her kidneys, as they seem to be releasing too much protein.
She is in good spirits while they continue testing. Please continue to pray!
Update on Karen Underwood
Karen has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure in addition to her lung issues. They performed an extraction this morning and removed a litter of fluid from her lungs. They have her on medication for the rest of the excess fluid, and there may be a surgery involved in addressing the fluid around her heart.
Her daughter Gina is at the hospital this morning and asked Karen if she was afraid. Karen said no, she wasn’t worried a bit. She said “God’s got this!”
Please continue praying for Karen and her family.
