All Kinds of News
Update:
Thank you to everyone for your good wishes and prayers.
My brother is responding well to medication and is resting semi-comfortably at the hospital. It is very likely he will require some major surgery but the doctors are still discussing his options. I will update later as I know more.
I know I've been quiet lately.
My inlaws have been here since Thursday and have taken up most of my time and peace of mind since then. Our only shower broke on friday and we had to pay a plumber $260 to not quite fix it. In addition we are having electrical problems as well due to one of my "little projects" (note to self- no more messing with the wiring) but we'll need to save up a bit of money before we call in a professional (it's nothing dangerous don't worry, just a blown fuse or two.) I also found out that the tiles I removed from my kitchen may have contained asbestos (NICE!) did you know there is a 10-15 year jail sentence for tossing out building materials containing asbestos?
Good thing this blog is anonymous.
Most importantly my brother has become very ill.
The doctors will meet today to see if anything can be done for him.
I feel hopeful but the situation is quite grave.
I may be offline for a while - I'm trying to get my work/life in order so I can fly out and see him- but I'll post when I can.

So sorry to hear about your brother. Was this illness just discovered? Is his name on the mishebayrach lists in town?
My thoughts are with you!!
Thank you.
I just spoke with my mother- the doctors seem more optimistic today- but they are still discussing his surgical options.
I'll update when I can.
Hope your brother will recover. My prayers are also with you and your family.
Shifra,
Please post your brother's Hebrew name so that I can include him in my prayers.

On a mundane note: Did you finish the kitchen floor project? Did your in-laws notice it? Comment?
(and obviously refuah shelayma so no one here thinks I'm being callous)
"at the risk of sounding corny"
???
Chuck, i would not worry about sounding corny. you just sound annoying
Jameel - My inlaws did not notice the floor- but when I pointed it out they were complimentary (but their standards anyway.)
Very sorry to hear. A refua sheleima.
