Oh cool, first post on a new page - 98!!!

It is wonderful to see you back here Furls, and we all appreciate your amazing capacity to stay so positive in the face of such adversity. I'll reiterate my amazement right now! :biggrin:

Early this morning, somewhere around 1am our time, 3am texas time, Mom went into respiratory and renal failure, she's now comatose and on life support. Dad is on his way back there, Uncle Matt is already there and Aunt Julie and Uncle Chris are on their way as well. Please hold Mom in your hearts and prayers.

Dad is so upset, Mom told him to come home for the week, she said she would be fine and that he should spend some time with us kids. He was here for a day.
For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

...fudge...

I just sent her a PM inquiring about continuing my Facebook status updates requesting prayers and support for her, since she's now on Facebook herself...

Well, until I hear otherwise, I will continue with what I have been doing.

Love and Light, Furls!!

Dad is in Houston. No change in Mom's condition. We will keep updated when we can.

Love and hugs to you all!

I was talking to her on Monday, or maybe Tuesday, before I left for Atlanta. We were just joking around and she said she had a pink wig, and other colors when she was in the mood. She said she wanted to see me in a purple one, and when I gave a not-so-sure she said "party pooper" :lol:

If anybody can pull through, she most definitely can.

I told her ages ago she'd look great in a pink wig. :D

Love you Furls. Can't for you to get back. |G
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Anyone up to the idea of inundating Tracie with Get Well cards?
Brooke, can you supply us with an address to do so?

That sounds like an excellent idea to me.
