I'd really appreciate some health~ma for my brother, please. He had a seizure at work yesterday (which, unlike me, has never happened to him). Turns out he has a lesion on his brain. Further tests to follow this week to determine what it is: cancer, an infection, or something else. I'm still getting brief updates. They're moving him from ICU to a regular room later today.

Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
Not even in the same league as amyth's request, but if you have some it's-nothing~ma, I could use it. There's a lump, and while I don't think it's anything, still, lump.
The Zmayhem are off to attend a wedding over the weekend, and will have limited computer access.
See y'all when we get back.
(much -ma to Raq and amyth)
Mom is going to the dermatologist because she is concerned about something on her arm. It's probably not a big deal, but -ma never hurts.
I would appreciate some gentle loving ~ma wafted towards the Midwest. Dear friends of mine had and lost their baby girl, all in one day.
Bro update: he's out of the hospital, for a week, but hasn't been cleared to go back to work. Spinal tap and chest and abdominal scans all came back clear, thank goodness! The neurologist wants to wait and see if the lesion grows any larger before doing anything more, because it's in such a delicate area. Apparently, even a biopsy could cause brain damage, so they don't want to do anything they don't have to do.
The good news: it doesn't appear to be a metastasis from lung or other cancer, which was what I had originally feared, and it's small enough that it's not immediately life-threatening.
The uncertain news: they still don't know what the heck it is, and may not for a while. My SiL is taking him to a specialist at Columbia for a second opinion next week.
Thank you all for your continued ~ma! This also happens to be my busiest week at work of the entire year, so I haven't had much time to jump into the threads and thank you all individually, but I am so very grateful.
Once again, the ~ma worked. It is nothing. Well, it's a fibroma, but that's pretty much nothing.

Thank you all.
I'm home! Two glorious weeks of vacation capped by horrific traffic in PA and NJ. Pictures will be uploaded after sleep and Mad Men.
Joe has an interview at 10:30am EST (7:30 board time). Please send lots of vibes, thoughts, and prayers!! Kthxbye!
So I got married a couple of days ago. In San Fran for a day then off to Napa for honeymooning.
It's pretty awesome.
