What a scary thing, **Tris**. You take care of yourself, **Pie** and the rest of the family. We’ll be here wishing all of you all the comfort, strength and healing there is. You’re being held close in our thoughts.

I sat and read some of the prayers for the sick in my Book of Common Prayer. I don’t know you personally, but God does, so that’s close enough.

And like others have said, take care of _yourself_ physically as well.

Pie has had what was probably a heart attack, probably caused by damage from lack of oxygen during the pneumonia. She is on more treatments, and is sleeping.

Thanks for the update, **Tris**. We’re waaayyy down there on your overburdened list of things to take care of, but it’s good to know **Pie** came through and is sleeping. Don’t neglect to get as much rest as possible yourself. I imagine you’re feeling pretty jangled and harried right now but there isn’t an earthly thing more you can do. Wind down however you can and get some rest.

I was having Net problems earlier so I finally saw the updates.

Take care of yourself & your wife, Tris. Make sure to get the rest & nourishment that you need, especially if you don’t feel like it.

And more prayers for Sweetie Pie- and for you all- Grace & strength & trust & healing to you all, we ask this please- Father God, Jesus, Mothering Spirit- Amen

I just got back from the hospital.

No change in Pie’s condition.

Her mother just had the hospital bar me from visiting.

According to her “I upset several people.”

She won’t say who, or what I did.

I can’t talk about it anymore.

</div>

What? Hospital staff (including me) are trained to expect a certain amount of emotional behavior from family. You’re upset and you say things you ordinarily might not say. As long as you aren’t threatening people or preventing them from taking care of your Sweetie Pie, you should be allowed to see her.

Is there someone you can take with you who helps keep you calm?

I am so sorry this has happened, and even sorrier that she is sick.

Sending you all good thoughts.

What?!? **Tris** , from what I know that is absolutely wrong. Talk to an administrator immediately, or have someone else do it for you. They cannot keep you away from your daughter at a time like this.

My prayers are for you and Pie, going a mile a minute.
