Upheavals

It has been a trying two days for Fiona.  Her resting has been interrupted by severe panic attacks manifested in great breathing difficulties.  During these attacks, she requires a face mask and a maximum oxygen flow of 15lpm, and even then breathing requires a huge amount of effort.  In the midst of these attacks, it is clear that she is in great distress and anxiety.

Something to give thanks for:  The doctors say that the fluid in her lungs are clearing well.  Her airways sound clear and her intake of air is not obstructed.

It would seem then that the episodes are at least partially psychological. However, this does not make it any less real for her.  The episodes take an enormous amount of physical, emotional, and mental energy out of her.  To address this, the doctors have prescribed some medication, but this will take some time to work.  

Please, please pray against fear, and for God's peace to prevail at all times.  She should then regain her strength faster and be in better shape for the ongoing battle.  Pray too for upliftment in her mind and spirit. She is feeling mentally, physically, and emotionally tired from these episodes, and needs a recharge.  Pray for a spiritual recharge for her entire being.
