My sweet daughter has been sick since last Saturday, progressively getting worse. Following is what I just sent to our “everyone” e-mail group at church:

I took Rachel to the doctor this morning and she was diagnosed with a slight case of pneumonia in the lower lobe of one lung. I was hoping that this would not be the case, but knew that something was up with a persistent cough and no sore throat turning into a mild wheeze.
We are relieved to get a diagnosis and as far as pneumonia goes, this case isn’t as bad as we have experienced in the past. She has started a 10-day course of amoxicillin and the doctor expected that she would feel much better by Monday.

We would appreciate your prayers.

From September: Rachel and her daddy on a date at Panera Bread and at the beach house in Florida.
