If anyone out there has a spare moment and the energy, can you think good thoughts about my mother in law? She’s had another blood pressure spike and was taken to the hospital this morning. This hasn’t happened in about fourish years, and the time before that was just before HRH and I got married, but every time is deeply scary because we don’t know what her heart will do next when it does occur. Thanks in advance, everyone.

ETA May 6: Thank you, everyone. After a fretful day with no news, we spoke with HRH’s father last evening who was in good spirits and said that after one final test she would be released and allowed to go home. This episode was one of three others, not two as HRH reminded me, because in one she didn’t go to the hospital and ironically that was the worst one. This was nowhere near as bad as that one. Thank you, thank you everyone, for your help and good thoughts both for her and the rest of us.
