First:  she's alive. She's exhausted, but stable and alert.

Second:  thank you. I don't have the depth of words to say how everyone's support--emotional, spiritual, moral, financial, and logistic--has been appreciated. The amount of light everyone has brought has pushed the dark back.

Third:  I'm okay. Exhausted, and battered, and I so want to

Thanks for the update. I'm glad things have stabilized and there's a positive outlook. I feel like there's not much I can do from so far away, but I let me know if you think of anything. :-)

Here's to hoping you get those 20 years.

Thanks so much for the update! I'm glad to hear that your mom is in excellent hands, and that you're feeling somewhat hopeful about things. Sending lots of love and prayers.

And if there's anything I can do from this great distance, please let me know!

Deforming the bone? That aneurysm is hardcore. Perhaps you should name it or something, make it feel valued, keep it healthy and stable.

Strength to you, her, and her vasculature.

Thanks so much for the update. I've been so worried about her, and you. From all of the medical detail you posted, I know that her condition is still serious, but I am relieved that there is a treatment plan in progress--and that she is at Stanford. I've been in Houston and Nashville this past week, but will be back in the Bay Area late tomorrow. Let me know if there is anything that I can do.

I totally get that thing about its longevity being a comfort. Here's to hoping it goes back to ticking quietly on a very long timer.
