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.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
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.

move out and draw fire
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.

Hey. New board.
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.

More than ~ma needed...
I have a momfriend who has a sick kid similar to Grace. She sent this out and I'm passing the request on to you:
I have a small request. I entered a photo in a photo contest in hopes of winning. If I do win Ill be able to get my sons IPV machine fixed.. Basically its a fancy respiratory machine kind of like a nebulizer but much more powerful. It shoots bursts of air into his lungs to help clear them and help him breathe better.. Its broken. If I win I could get enough money to fix it. He really needs it fixed before the winter time (he would have to be admitted to the hospital in order to use theirs)
This is the link to the photo. You just have to vote for it and then confirm the vote
Please to vote if you don't mind: [link]

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Could The Girl and I please have some house~ma? Today is the day we are meant to complete on our house. It seems doubtful that this will happen, because the whole process has been a mess of delays and problems. We are so desperate to start moving in so that I can start my PhD once we're settled! So house~ma for getting the process finished and getting the keys to the place really soon would be great. Thanks!
