For what it's worth:

A couple of years back, I received news that my then-boyfriend (almost fiance) left me. 20 minutes later I found out my grandmother had suffered a massive heartattack. The first thing I did was vacuum the living room.

When I learned from the vet that Sophie had died, my legs buckled; dad caught me and sat me on my bed. I counted shadows on my wall for a good 30 minutes and then posted on pet talk.



If I were in the hospital, I have no doubt my mom would be on my computer asking PT for prayers. She knows how much my friends here mean to me (and hopefully, me to them). I'm sure she would probably keep you guys as up to date as possible, granted --unless there were major changes-- she probably wouldn't post every day nor take the time to search the other forums. AND IF SHE DIDN'T POST, you can bet she'd let Staci or Gini or one of my other close friends know via email. Were I the least bit conscious, I'd ask her to....


But.... I **KNOW** my mom would make it "legit" by providing phone numbers, addresses, etc.



Rachel, if this is a hoax, don't be pissed. Mourn the fact that someone sank this deep to take advantage of good hearts...then say a small, warm "wish you well" message and let it go.
