Default News about Circe (Barbara)

******This is a re-post from Chotii, a poster on mkp. She said it was
okay to pass this on.******

Our Circe has had a very bad asthma attack, and is in the hospital at the present time, on a ventilator. At last report, she was being sedated heavily because when she was awake and alert (and she was), her attempts to communicate (by writing) made her heartrate go up alarmingly. Her mother had been here with me for the last week, helping me with the tail end of my bedrest, but naturally she has booked a return flight to California and will be at Circe's side tonight.

'Grandma' Katie will be posting here with updates when she has them.
Evidently the first 24 hours are the roughest, and then the next 24 hours, and so on. Fortunately, as we know, Circe and her husband have a wonderful au pair who will help keep things normal for the kids.

Prayers, candles, vibes and well-wishes are surely both needed and
appreciated.
