First of all, Lixy sends her love and appreciation for all your thoughts.


Now, the latest news ...

Her sister is back home but not out of the woods. It's apparently not clear if the sister even quite realizes that she's home, although when she got there, she went to sleep easily and appeared to be at peace.

Lixy said she can't spell or pronounce the disease, but the doctors said that in laymen's terms it inflames the blood vessels (not ruling out mosquito contracted encephalitis). It is progressing and they want to stop it...and possibly reverse it for as much as they can. It is extremely rare and definitely fatal. The options the doctors have given are all fraught with danger and the decision is not going to be an easy one for her sister's husband. Your prayers and good thoughts are still very important to her so, please, keep them up. The stress on Lixy (and her hubby, too) is obviously very great.

I'll let you know whenever I hear from her.
