Faith Healers and Snake Handlers, part II

[bodlon]

Tonight I stayed past visiting hours in the ICU with mom so we could watch the Boston Pops fireworks thing on television. Things are looking up. The bleeding has stopped, various things have stabilized and evened out. While it looks like there’s been some minor cardiac symptoms in with all of the rest of this, I’m pleased to say that as of tonight the worst thing mom seems to be experiencing at the moment is crushing boredom at still being under observation to make sure that these stable, even things remain so. I’m hopeful she’ll get to leave tomorrow or Tuesday.

Thanks to EVERYONE who’s sent good wishes and continues to keep us in mind. I haven’t had a lot of emotional resources with which to reply and thank people individually, but your kind words, thoughts, and actions have been of great benefit to me, and I’ve been telling mom since Thursday night that the Internet hopes she feels better and gets to come home soon.

And now, to continue providing an excellent space for my fireworks-phobic dogs to hide while the good people of my neighborhood flout local ordinances.
