in the hospital

just a quick note to tell you all that my mom is in the hospital here in santa fe. she was very dehydrated and the doctors discovered she had hydrocephalus again, as her ventricles aren't draining enough fluid. they changed the settings on the shunt yesterday and she is remarkably better today. she is in a very weakened state, sleeping a lot, just started eating again, and not really able to speak more than a word or two at a time. some of the doctors are concerned that there is disease in the meninges (lining) of her brain, which is not a good sign. we are hoping to go home tomorrow.

bill and i continue to hold hope and faith and an enormous amount of love. we are teetering on a precipice here. please send out as much love and healing energy towards my mom today and in the coming days as you can. she can feel it and it will help us get through this time.
