    On June 9 Sister felt like something ruptured in her chest and had excruciating pain.  She went to the hospital, where they did several tests and they dismissed her since personnel were unavailable the next two days for additional testing.  She has had extensive tests, but they do not find anything.  She continues to have pain and discomfort.  Please pray they find the cause.  Thank you, Sr. Helen Lucille Habig.
