Update on Recent Prayer Request - Broken Leg

Back on the 14th, I posted a prayer request on my Facebook page as follows:
"Could use a wee prayer for friends...They spend their winters here in Vegas and their summers in MI. They had made it all across to MI safely last week and with no restrictions, finding motel rooms easily, food not so easily, but got there Saturday afternoon. This afternoon, HE emailed me and he never does, and said she is in the hospital. She fell off a stepladder and broke her right femur and they are doing surgery tomorrow.
Asking you to say a wee prayer for quick surgery, quick release, to minimize her chance of getting this bug... I'm sure she was up on that stepladder just restocking their pantry cupboards after being away all winter... she also has sciatica and is overweight, so this will not be an easy post-surgery for her... thanks..."

I finally got an update from her husband today. Her surgery went well and she's in reasonably good spirits but still in the hospital. The scary thing, for me, is that he says she is in the ICU with a "touch of pneumonia."

Now, I know pneumonia can happen in hospitals but considering the breathing issues with this current pandemic, I am praying with all my heart that it really is just pneumonia - even though we all know that even a "touch of pneumonia" can rear up and be fatal in a hospital in a person of 70.
So, friends, can you muster up a wee prayer that she gets safely out of ICU quicker than expected and home to their RV quicker than expected, and be safer than expected?

Sweet Lord Jesus, our healer, our miracle worker, please look compassionately upon this couple and bless this woman with remarkable healing? We trust in you!
