Requesting that powerful ~ma, once again.
There's a very high chance, and in the doctor's words, "it's more than likely" that my sister has thyroid cancer. Looks to be early stages, but still. Some health~ma to my sister. And peace~ma for my mom.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Popping by from work access to ask for ma for my niece. She is in the hospital with major heart damage, sedated on a respirator and it is touch-and-go as to whether she will make it through the day. They don't know what caused the heart damage--it may be bulimia or residual damage from her former drug use. She is only 20 and seemed in the last few months to have been turning her life around.

Upadate on niece--she is still on the respirator and in ICU, but appears to be stabilizing. They are going to move her to another hospital with a better cardiac facility. Remember how I said we thought she was doing much better in her sobriety? Not so much--the heart attack was brought on by alcohol poisoning.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Scrappy, so sorry to hear about your niece. I hope she recovers and gets sober.
Hi! Small but urgent request - I had been supposed to meet up w/ Calli down here in NOLA but phone is dead and I don't think it's going to work out anyway. Could someone please call her cell and tell her that, and then maybe post here so everyone doesn't call her?
Many many thanks.

Niece update. She is still in the coma caused by lack of oxygen during one if her heart episodes. The neurologist recommends two weeks of wait and see (and hope), but says recovery is "unlikely."

Last update: Niece is being taken off life support late tonight. Please send vibes to my Brother and his family around midnight Eastern time.
The one good thing is that her organs are all being donated, so some positive will come out of this sadness.

Bayistas - I'll be out in y'all's neighborhood from 4/3-4/10. Currently under discussion are brunch on Saturday 4/5 and dinner on Wednesday 4/9. I'll also have some daytime availability, for those who can't make those times.
We're discussing in the F2F thread.
