email update: leaving for the hospital

two years later, i'm going back and weaving the emails i sent to family and friends into the story. emails (all added later) will be marked as such; blog posts written at the time, will appear as they always did, with no special marker. this way i'll have a full record in one place...

here's the email I sent to people as we left the house:

taking [Loopy] to the ER on the advice of her doctors, as we can't control the pain and the other symptoms are worsening. they may send her home but anyway, all contributions are welcome, as [Amerina's mother] would say--prayers, white light, positive thoughts... well... no animal sacrifices please but anything else... :-) will let local folks know
as more concrete needs arise.

thanks for being there, this is really a nightmare.

love
[me]
