Oh, my, Jim. So sorry that Carol is that ill. Although I'm not on this trip, I know how much you have looked forward to it, especially going with your friends. I had pneumonia for the entire month of August. I can't imagine having double pneumonia and then being put in a temporary coma. Unfortunately, it takes awhile to recover from pneumonia. My thoughts go out to Carol and Bing.
