About 2 weeks ago, the chair person of the fund raising committee Teresa Wakefield was admitted to the hospital. She went in with fatigue, and high blood pressure. Over the next few days she declined rapidly. She got pneumonia, and had to go on a ventilator. Her kidneys shut down, and she was put on dialysis. sometime during all this they discovered she had a hart attack. She is still on the ventilator, but is breathing over it. She is still having her ups and downs, and is going to be in the hospital for quite a while. Last I new she was critical but stable. That is the long and short of it leaving out some because there is to much to tell.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Please all of you keep her in your thoughts and prayers.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Becky Young, President<br>National Federation of the Blind of Iowa, Des Moines<br>Phone: 515-553-9270<br></span><a href="mailto:byoung@nfbi.org">Email</a><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><a href="http://www.nfbi.org/"><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Website</span></i></a><i><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> <br>Live the life you want.<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The National Federation of the Blind of Iowa is a community of members and friends who believe in the hopes and dreams of the nation’s blind.
