Prayer Request

I have a quick prayer request for one of my coworkers. His wife, who is only 29, has been in and out of the hospital for the last 1-2 months. To try to make a long story short she had 2 masses on her lungs in which they went in to biopsy which of course then led to a chest tube being inserted to get all the drainage out. After 10 excruciating, long days of a chest tube it was taken out last Friday and she was able to go home. The biopsy came back benign and she was diagnosed with sarcoidosis. Yesterday she was readmitted to the hospital as she went in complaining of pain and they were running test this morning as they were thinking she had a Pulmonary Embolism (which is very serious stuff!) Late this morning she coded and is now on full life support as her heart is a bit weak and prognosis is not looking too good. They are hoping they can get her lungs back up to strength but then they will have to question to see how much brain trauma she suffered as she had no oxygen for 4 minutes. She has no family as her parents died in their 30's of just random medical conditions that just popped up. And his family is in Mississippi but some were on a flight early this afternoon to come be with them.
They do have an 8 year old boy, who is super sweet. So if you think about them, The Bowie Family, please lift them up in prayers during this time.
