Thanks for keeping us updated Thorn. Our prayers here in San Diego are with her, and all of you who help to care for her.

I saw Cora yesterday afternoon. She will likely be in the hospital for *at least* a few days. She has a blood infection (probably has had it for a month) and is on antibiotics. They are keeping her in until her blood pressure stabilizes, the infection is more under control, and they see how she responds to the antibiotics.

She is still conversationally acute - always a surprise, that woman.

Cora requests that visitors be present around mealtimes (9am breakfast, noon for lunch and 4:30 for dinner) to help her eat. Cora can't really eat by herself because her one good arm has the IV tubes in it and managing everything is pretty much impossible for her. I fed her a little bit, which she seemed able to keep down.

she is at san leandro hospital
13855 e. 14th st,
san leandro, CA
(510) 357-6500

Even if you've never met her, stop on by if you live close - she loves visitors. She'll need more visitors when she returns home, too.

thanks and blessings - Thorn
