A message from Mr. Marmelstein.
Miss M had Dr's appt on monday and was told her BP was elevated and she needed to go home get in bed and relax. About 3 a.m. tuesday morning she awoke with severe cramping and she started bleeding. In a matter of minutes she was hemorrhaging so badly I had to call an ambulance. She was rushed to the hospital and was unconscious by the time we arrived. She lost the baby and came close to dying herself from blood loss. She is now in stable condition and should be home this weekend, god willing.
Today she asked me to do 2 things. One was to let her DU friends know of her condition and the other was to find out if Alito had been confirmed or filibustered.
Even from her hospital bed she wants to fight against Alito and I have spent the past hour making phone calls on her behalf to DC. Now I'm going back to be with her and will try to check in with DU later this evening if I have the energy.
Any thoughts and prayers for my wife will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your support.

And I am sorry, you guys for the loss of your child. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Tell her I am thinking of her.

Since I can not send flowers, here are some Texas bluebonnets for her.

35. Oh no! What heartbreaking news!



I'm so sorry to hear about this difficult time for you. Bless her heart for thinking of us in her own time of need, and for fighting the good fight even when her energy is compromised. What a strong and brave soul she has. Bless you too, for taking such good care of her. Love and good healing energy to both of you.


A candle for the little one:
