We got a call a few hours ago from Kathy’s dad, to let us know that Kathy’s mom is in the hospital. She collapsed this afternoon while they were shopping, and she is currently in the ER at Torrance Memorial Hospital. As of now, the doctors think she may have had a stroke, so they are giving her all sorts of blood thinners and other medications that are supposed to reverse some of the effects of a stroke. We are supposed to get an update tonight from Kathy’s dad when more info is available. I’ll post any updates here.
She will be 59 in February, and has smoked two to three packs a day for more than 40 years. They (plus our nephew Jonathon) were planning to come up here for a week and a half on the 18th of this month, but it looks like we might be making an emergency trip down to L.A. instead.
Know this: Even if Kathy and I have to tie her up ourselves and poke her with sharp sticks, I swear on my cat’s tail she is not smoking another cigarette again in her life.
Please pray for a full and quick recovery.

man, cigs are horrid. i have a friend who had breast cancer and still smokes all the time. she comes back from her smoke breaks takes a few hits off her inhaler, pours another cup of coffee and eats her fast food for lunch . . . why do special people in our lives have to make bad health decisions?
i will totally pray for her health and her future habits!
how is your family?
