I just got a call from my cousin. His wife was in a bad car accident last night. She has already had surgery to relieve pressure on her brain and she is facing spinal surgery, plus she shattered her arm. Some healing~ma would be appreciated.

A friend's baby is suffering from silent reflux. Any suggestions about things the parents can do to help her, as she is really in pain and her parents are totally frazzled.
Could use some job~ma in about 45 minutes from now... (8:30 board time)
My MS is advancing through the pub process. Past the Junior Editor, and Senior Editor is enthusiastic. But 2 more layers to get through in order to be accepted. So please, please a lot of acceptance ~ma.
~~~~MA for Joe please!! He got a phone interview for a job he applied for less than 24 hours ago!!!! It's happening right now!!!!
WOOOHOOO!!! Boy that ~~ma works!! He has an in-person interview on Monday afternoon!!! WOOHOO!!!!!
Could I request some safe surgery and quick recovery~ma for a friend at about 2:30 Monday? She's having part of her colon removed tomorrow. Thanks!
Generalized health~ma for my grandfather, please. He's been having hoarse spells, is very weak, and has no interest in food (THAT IS JUST NOT RIGHT). My mom just lost her mother last fall; as much as my grandfather drives me nuts we'd all like to have him around a while longer.
Many thanks.
LAistas, I'm scheduled to be in your fair city for a writing conference from Thursday until Tuesday morning. I don't have a huge amount of free time (although that may change, depending on how good this conference is-- it's my first time, so we'll see), but I would love, love, love to see some people. I'll be at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza and I'll of course have phone and and computer. Thursday afternoon and evening I know for sure I'm free so that might be a good time to hook up-- anything beyond that, I'll have a better idea after the first day. I'll be checking in F2F-- please, please-- I'd love to see some of you!
ND's gall bladder surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning, 7:30am board time. It should be totally easy-peasy, but good thoughts are always welcome. If all goes well, he will be home (though groggy) tomorrow afternoon.
(And Barb, we'd love to see you if you could come up here Thursday night, but I doubt ND will be up to going anywhere.)
