I had rheumatic fever when I was 9 (almost 60 yrs. ago) and I was in bed a year with it and it left me with a heart murmer that the Lord healed when I was in my 30's. I remember the pain well. I had to exercise twice a day and it was painful. I don't think they treat rheumatic fever the same way these days. I am praying for Darcy and you. I understand all too well how she feels. Even after 60 yrs. I well remember that year in bed.
