She had not been feeling well for a couple of weeks and then believed she had pinched a nerve in her neck. She went to the hospital in October and was then diagnosed with nocardia pneumonia, where 10% of the cases are fatal, higher if there is infection. She had surgery to drain the fluid that was in her. She was on the mend and when I talked to her a bit over a week ago she was looking forward to being discharged. Last week things very quickly went downhill and she passed away. It seems likely that something with surgery recovery may have had a negative impact with the toll the pneumonia took.
Vicky was a single parent so please keep sweet Gabby in your prayers.
