Edwarda's sister, Claudia, and her niece will be there tomorrow, too. Unfortunately, it's harder for them to travel from Atlanta than it will be for you to travel from New England, especially as Edwarda's sister is a physical therapist, and a single mother of two teenage children. Nevertheless, as Edwarda's closest relatives, it may be helpful to Edwarda that they are there. Thanks to the good people of SI who have made her travel possible.

This is so unreal (not to speak of distressing)! I am not paranoid or anything (of course not!), but I can't help wondering whether the doctors are obfuscating on purpose.

Doctorspeak quoted in various updates: "no organic cause" -- but a "number of vital organs compromised." ?? So the "compromised organs" are organic results, obtained without organic causes?? And if they don't know what she's got, how can they say that her prognosis is "poor"?

Why is it that I get this creepy feeling that they know very well what the problem is, but don't want to say what it is (at least not until they have a relative's permission to do so)?

Nail 'em, jla.
