Doc-ma to Hubby and me, please. This afternoon we talk to the electrocardiologist and find out what--if anything--can be done to try and stabilize Hubby's erratic heartbeat. Hubby's terrified and trying not to show it, I'm trying not to think the words "laser burning out part of my husband's heart!" too often.

I keep telling myself, "This could fix everything," but it's not helping the incipient ulcer.

We're home. The cats are curious, freaked, and aloof, depending on the cat in question. Lily is sleeping. Paul is making appointments. All is well.

Sadly, the recovery room had no internet connection, so I could not entertain myself between feedings and visits with nattering, and will thus be skipping and skimming like a mofo once I figure out how to type with the lemur in my arms. (Right now, she's so zonked that she's not really noticing the jarring effect of the keystrokes.)

Photos and birth story to come, after we've managed to bring in our bags and settle in.

More Ohio Trip photos. See the llamas at the Safari Park. here

Last batch of my Cleveland pictures are at the beginning of this [link]

My mother has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. We don't know what stage it is in yet. Any suggestions on good resource sites or other info would be appreciated. Profile addy good.

I'm about to leave to have a meeting to purchase my first condo. Houseowning~ma would be appreciated.

On Saturday night, my nineteen-year-old youngest sister deliberately overdosed, taking all of her medications. It looks like she hasn't caused any physical damage, but that leaves plenty to worry about. The family is all very concerned upset and scared. I'd appreciate some vibes if you've got 'em to spare.
