Bettie Page in the hospital...


Steve Brewster, Scoutmaster of the Bettie Scouts of America got a call from the hospital at 10:26am cst, 12/26/07. Bettie Page has taken a turn for the worse.

She has fallen weaker and having trouble breathing and they believe she has pneumonia. She is 84.

Offer a prayer, if you are so-inclined, or at least think some warm thoughts...

Ugh. Pneumonia is tough. I'll definitely think good thoughts for her.

Bettie Page in hospital

My prayers are with Bettie and all of us who love her so. I've been searching for more information on the web, but haven't found anything. Please keep us updated as you seem to be in touch with those who are close to the situation. All my love to you Bettie, please get better.

My prayers are with Bettie.

And this might seem insensitive and tactless to say in light of recent events, but shit, I had no idea Bettie had reached that age. :|

I think a lot of fans (myself included) would rather just pretend that she's immortal....

Oh man, this is terrible! Warm, fuzzy thoughts for Bettie!

UPDATE:

Steve Brewster reports:
<<Your prayers are working. I just got a call from the hospital 3:58pm
cst 12/27/07. Bettie does indeed have pneumonia but her condition is
stabilized. Her care giver said this is very good news!
They are giving her oxygen and treating her with antibiotics and even
though she also has a kidney infection he is optimistic on her
recovery. I'll let you know as I hear more. Whatever you're doing,
keep it up! And Thanks to so very many of you for your calls and emails.>>
