Prayers needed
Chris and Pat Salmon of Flint Hill need your help. They simply ask that you keep them in heart and prayer.
About six weeks ago, Chris Salmon and later, his jvife, Pat, came down with pneumonia. Both were in intensive care but Pat is now out of the hospital and able to drive her car. Chris, however, who had a bacterial pneumonia, later developed a secondary infection in the hospital which has put him into a deep comma.
For the past three weeks, Chris has been in the Intensive Care Unit at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville.
Chris Salmon has been the guiding light and person most responsible for Rappahannock’s Internet bulletin board — Rappnet.
Both are a much loved couple throughout the community and your prayers are asked for Chris’s recovery and Pat’s strength.
