yesterday romulo and i were in a widowed lady's home, looking it over as a potential candidate for a 12x12 house. we were interrupted by mildred, esbin's sister, who was frantically explaining that esbin is having trouble breathing.
when we got there, esbin was clearly in trouble. he could not breath, and seemed to be moving in and out of consciousness, with his eyes frequently rolling back into is head. we called for help, and dr. carlos was there within 15 minutes.
according to the doc, we normally breath at 95-100%, and should never dip below 85%. he was breathing at 55%. his lungs are full of mucus and needed to be drained. the next couple of hours was spent doing this...
when we left he was feeling better. please keep him in your prayers. this is the 4th time this has happened in recent months, and the specialist from guatemala city doesn't seem to think he has much more time.

This just breaks my heart! I have had asthma for 21 years. I know that it's not at all the same as what Esbin is experiencing, but I know a little bit of what I can imagine he's going through.
I'm praying for his healing and his comfort. I once heard someone describe an asthma attack as trying to catch your breath while breathing through a straw. My heart is heavy for Esbin!
