Please send good vibes and healing light out to my sister-in-law...
She has had her third brain aneurysm. Her first two were when she was 22 and then 30. She is only 45 now.

I'm very worried. Her respiratory status is poor. She is getting additional respiratory support through ambu-bagging even though she is on a vent and getting PEEP. Her skin is so dusky. The CT showed a massive brain bleed. Trying to remain hopeful.

My youngest is taking his goddam TAKS test today. I don't want to tell him about his aunt dying, only seven months after her faher suddenly died.

Husband is planning ahead for their mother, who shares a house with his disabled sister. My nerves are fried.

THANK YOU, DU!

11. Yes, an old friend from 1976. A wonderful friend. My best girlfriend is in
the hospital right now with a gastrointestinal problem that has left her on pain meds, and frankly, I can't handle being her support right now.

6. Good vibes coming her way, Ilsa.
FWIW, my Mom nearly died of an aneurysm, but lived thirty years after successful surgery.

Always room for hope.

7. Sending love and light to you, your sister
...your entire family. Do you have someone close by that can support you through this time Ilsa? Please lean on them. Your virtual friends will support you as much as we can, but you need someone physically close by to lean on.

Much love to you and your family.

12. Sadly, my husband was barely able to muster a hug for me
when I was crying. He's been this way for awhile, even before his father died last year. I'm hugging my kids alot and staying in touch with friends via phone and email. But my best friend is sick in the hospital right now, too.
