There's nothing like leaving my mom's and getting to my house to make me thankful. I left late because of a hellish afternoon hanging shelves and replacing a door latch, drove in heavy rain all the way here and just got home. My house appears to have been ransacked, but it looked that way when I left. I like to thoughtfully pre-ransack my house for any burglars.

How hellish, BT. My best wishes for Brody's health.

Lots and tons of allkindof~ma to Brody. Especially luck.

And, deserved to be in another post:

Yay you, omnis!

Thanks everyone. Brody's gone in for surgery now. They've found bleeding on the surface of his brain. We won't hear more for some hours now. My sister and her husband are holding up so far, but it's hard. My dad's a bit wrecked.

I'm crossing fingers for Brody.

Good luck and ~mas galore, you all.

Oh, billytea, it's just so sad.

Here's hoping for some good news.

~ma of every kind for Brody and for all the Teas.

Brody's out of surgery now. It went well - they don't think he's in any more immediate danger. But they can't say yet whether he's suffered any lasting damage. Thanks again to everyone.

((bt and family)) I am glad the surgery went well at least. Keeping my fingers crossed and my thoughts with you.
