Silver linings

There isn't a lot to update on but wanted to let everyone know the little that we know.

The bleeding has stopped, which is good news, but it could easily start up at any time. It is still a very critical situation because if the bleeding restarts it could be life threatening. She will be in the ER for at least 7-10 days. She has her cell phone so if you want to reach her use that number. I don't know her new room number or her new direct line. I've asked Brian to find out about mail and whether or not it is the same address as before.

Brian just talked to Kathy a bit ago and she sounds okay; they didn't get to talk long as her pain meds were kicking in. She is under a lot of stress and needs everyone to be sending her lots and lots of positivity. Her birthday is coming up on May 3rd (Thursday) so let's do what we can to make it the most cheery birthday it can be even though it will be spent in the hospital. As a reminder, flowers (both artificial and real) are not allowed but cards and mylar balloons are.

About the title of this blog post...

One of my favorite musicians to listen to when I need calming yet meaningful music is Ingrid Michaelson. These lyrics, from her song "Are we there yet" seem fitting to this current situation:

          They say there's linings made of silver, folded inside each raining cloud.

          Well, we need someone to deliver our silver lining now.
