Thank you to everyone who commented or e-mailed me. I appreciate the support.

My mom is doing worlds better. She's coherent enough to be bored, now, though she won't be out of the hospital until at least Thursday. My grandma's in a cast up to her elbow that keeps her hand in a fist, and my uncle and stepdad are both moving along into the next phases of their care.

It's stupid around here, still, but it's not as oppressive, and that's nice.
