Quick Note: A Family Medical Emergency

Just a quick post today to let you know that my mother has been hospitalized with a potentially life-threatening condition.  I’ve spent the better part of the last week, including the entire weekend, in the hospital’s intensive care unit, and she has been unresponsive since Saturday night.  Obviously, I am behind on my writing, but plan to catch up a bit this weekend if things improve.  I’ll try to get something ready for Friday, but if I don’t, I hope you will understand.  Would appreciate any thoughts and prayers you could throw our way.  I’ll publish another update when I can.
