We interrupt this regularly scheduled....

Sorry for the brief public announcement, and I don’t want to hurt feelings or make anyone mad, but here are some realities.

I know everyone is anxious to speak to and visit Melissa, she is a very social and interactive person with friends and families.  But (there’s always buts) this is a critical stage of her process to heal in ICU. So there will be no visitations unless it is immediate family. She is sedated, resting.  A cue of well wishers is not allowed due to the possibility of introducing germs which might lead to infection.  The risk of infection is possible in the cleanest of hospitals.  So be patient your time will come.  #process #marathon #breathe #positiveenergy.

For those who have sent cards to Melissa, thank you.  I will hold on to them until she is able to read again.  She can hardly keep her eyes open to see even me, but I have a scary face.  Wait till she gets to the next step out of the ICU and is alert.

Finally, no flowers in the ICU.  Either send to the house or wait for the next step in the process.  She loves flowers in the ground and really loves trees.  So donate your money to the Spring Lake Shade Tree Committee.  That would make her very happy.

I appreciate the support you give to Melissa.  She is getting her “100 fold return” as promised.  Love to AWL

*Cairo asked me to petition you AWL for more treats.  Since her Mummy has been gone it is like a no treat “boot camp”.
