Charlie,
 
Thank you so much for keeping us posted.  We're all quite relieved  that 
Carmen's responsive and hopeful for a full recovery.  Mark Riccobono  and 
family as well as Judy Rasmuthson and family, and the entire Maryland  
affiliate, send their prayers and positive vibes.  She also has a lot of  support 
from the twitterverse and Facebook worlds.  
 
Please let me know if there's anything you need.
 
Ronza

Thanks,  everyone for your support. It's working!  Kristy just got back 
from  
seeing Carm, and says she looks and responds much better than she did even  
earlier today. My daughters Kristy and Penny have a request regarding  
visitation: If anyone visits Carm on Friday, we'd like visits to end at  
6pm. 
The girls have determined that Carm needs to just relax and let God  and 
His 
helpers at Swedish do their work. In fact, none of us here will be  
visiting 
Carm on Saturday; Kristy will explain that to Carm on Friday when  she sees 
her.

The hospital rule says no more than two people at a  time at her bedside. 
If 
more than one person sees her at a time, talk to  her one at a time, so she 
knows for sure who's talking to her. She's  fairly sedated to keep her 
relaxed; if she gets agitated, the pressure in  her head increases or stays 
the same rather than dropping, which we need  it to do. If anyone has 
questions, please call the house (773-583-0899)  any time of day and we'll 
answer, or if you have to leave a message, we'll  get back to you as soon 
as 
we can.
Thanks so very much to everyone. As  the weekend progresses, we'll keep 
everyone posted.
Charlie
