Best wishes go out to my mom, who apparently just went into the hospital for a couple days for surgery, after already being quite ill for some time. She won't see this until she's home, but in the meantime if you all could send good thoughts her way, I'm sure she'd appreciate it.

Love you, Mama!

Update: 8 a.m. 1/28: Surgery delayed! Hoorah. She still needs all our love, though.
