An Update

First, thank you to everyone who has sent prayers. I have received many private emails and of course prayers communicated via comments on the previous post. Your kindness has deeply touched me. As of today my step-mother is still in critical condition. There is extensive evidence of paralysis on the left side of the body. She had a ventilator removed and then put back in after fluid was discovered in one of her lungs. The doctors also report that pneumonia has set in.

On the upside, the blood clot was on the right side of the brain. It is hoped that this will mean limited or no impediment to speech. However things are still touch and go. It will likely be some days before we have an accurate picture of how extensive the damage is.

Thanking you again, I remain...

Yours in ICXC
