Prayers for Kyle

Earlier this week my sister texted to let me know that a young woman, Kyle, who is my age, was in the hospital fighting COVID, and things were not looking good.  She was on a ventilator.  Kyle had no underlying health conditions, and her doctors were cautiously optimistic due to her overall good health, but it was also at a critical point.  I've known Kyle since I was in Kindergarten, and I know her entire family.  I know her mom, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, even step-cousins!  Her aunt & uncle were at my aunt's & grandmother's funerals.  Her brother and I attended the same college and my sister came to visit us both.  Until I was older, I always thought Kyle was more of a girl's name because I knew her before I knew most boys named Kyle.  Yesterday's news provided a slimmer of hope.  Today's news was horrifying.  She is being careflighted to a university hospital in order to perform a procedure that has a 50-50 survival rate.  Please pray!  Please send all good thoughts her way that she keeps fighting and her body can heal!
