This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

A dear family friend is in the hospital after having a brain tumor removed yesterday, and crashed last night (doctors were able to get her stabilized and on a ventilator, and we've heard no news as of this morning). Any health~ma you guys could send her way would be much appreciated.

Hospital trying Bipap procedure tonight to get the last of fluid out of lung for my Mom who turns out to have Pulmonary Edema NOT pneumonia. All the ~ma you can spare for success please - and if successful for good results so that she can eat again. Loss of appetite is resulting in starvation diet- she won't each much. Can't stand food with how sick she is. And since getting rid of fluid critical no continuous IV, though she is getting protein injections. So far the limited menu of things she will eat is eggs (about three or four a day) apple sauce, in which she will tolerate protein powder and boost magic cup vanilla ice cream (9 grams protein 38 carbs and about two fat exchanges) twice a day. Growing weaker every day even though she breathes better as fluid level reduced. Kind of critical that this succeeds, becasue she needs to get over the illness so she can recover from the damage done by exhaustion and malnutrition.
