Sad Times Mommy

You wouldn't be able to tell from the last few posts, but since the evening of Sunday, December 28th, I've been hanging out with my mom - in the hospital. She has a severe case of clostridium difficile colitis, a bacterial infection of the large intestine. It's unpleasant stuff, and her recovery is likely to be long and arduous. The good news is that she doesn't need surgery - that's the last thing we wanted, after what happened in August.

Get well soon, mom!
