If you have not already joined the facebook group Prayers For Lillian please follow the link above and join. There are currently 7,775 members praying that Lillian, a freshman at UNC, will recover from h1n1. She has been hospitalized since November 23 and is in a medically induced coma. An ECMO machine is doing the work of her heart and lungs by taking blood from her body, oxygenating it, and puming it back into her body. On Monday her heart stopped but she was revived through CPR. While the rest of us stress about exams and prepare to go home to enjoy the holidays, Lillian is fighting for her life at the UNC hospitals.
