A dear friend of mine began feeling ill the day before the Vigil and got progressively worse the following days. She has a whole myriad of food allergies, so I figured the food we were eating triggered her illness. I just got an email, however, telling us that she was admitted to the hospital upon our return home for a ruptured apendix and abscesses. Unbelievable. Thanks be to God she made it home! PLEASE pray for her. She will be in the hospital for one week.
