CR - Re: GE - Update on Baroness Adelicia's health

[Michael Tucker]

Signy and Annes, thanks so much for keeping us all informed about this special
lady who means so much to us all. It sounds like our prayers were answered
again, but - as you said - it's a reminder to not take life, or each other, for granted.

Michael and Neassa

I am not under the impression that this was another stroke but instead this episode of unresponsiveness and inablity to speak may have been brought on by an unexplained loss of blood.  The Baron told me she has a terrible huge bruise on her leg and groin from the heart catherization.  Unknown but perhaps the cause?Whatever the cause, her hemoglobin was way, way depressed.  The staff and doctors responded by giving Anne blood.  Yesterday when I saw her at 1 pm., the nurses had just started the first pint of blood.

Life is so short and precious.  Be kind to each other.
