~ma for my Mom, please, who is in ICU. I'll post more details when I have them.
But if the world doesn't end, I'm gonna need a note.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
More details from Jilli:
En route to hospital now. Short form: long-standing issues ... have done liver damage. Her legs have been swelling for weeks, and she's been ignoring it.
Dad made her go to the ER on Friday, but things seemed mostly fine on Sunday, so she demanded to go home. Things got worse Sunday night. Ambulence to hospital earlier this evening.
Jilli's mom is Mom to a lot of us, and we love her dearly. Please keep her in your thoughts.

Mom update: She’s in serious condition, but the doctors have sent us home, because there’s nothing to be gained by us sitting around in the waiting room. I appreciate everyone’s well wishes more than I possibly can say. Thank you.

Mom update: She’s stable. On a ventilator, but stable. I’m going to go visit her in a bit. Thank you for all your prayers and kind wishes.

More Mom info: She’s still stable, but not really lucid. I saw her today, held her hand, and told her that everyone was sending her their prayers and good wishes.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Lots and lots and lots of ~ma going out to your mom, your family, and you, Jilli. My thoughts are with you.
In my own continuing medical adventures (crossposted with FB):
Let me start by saying, I'm OK. I woke up today in pretty serious pain from the ongoing cat-scratch-fever issues, and went into surgery around 2pm to drain the lymph node that's been giving me trouble since Dec. 5th. By all accounts, the surgery was a success, and I'll be going home tomorrow. Yay for FINALLY being on the road to recovery!

Mom update: they took her off the ventilator for a few hours, but decided to put her back on. She's still in ICU and heavily sedated, but her color is much better.

Oof. Jilli, I am so sorry! Many prayers for your mom. Quick recovery to her.
Buffistas! HELP! I need assistance with a t-shirt design for my academic decathlon team. I'd like a one sided design that has both my school's name and Academic Decathlon 2011 on it. The theme this year is Geology (Dust Bowl) and the Great Depression.
Anyone with some design experience willing to put something together for us on the quick? I just need the design and then I can get them printed on shirts.
