If I've ever needed a prayer it's really now.

My cousin, Jessica, is in ICU. Found with no pulse and is in a coma having had a heart attack and liver failure caused by, we think, a seizure. She's 23. A prayer, a good thought, good mojo, whatever you've got she could use. I'm at the hospital now and we are awaiting another EEG test today to measure brain function.

I don't really care if you post a response just send the thoughts and I'll know they're coming. Thanks.

Good thoughts and prayers to you and your family, Robyn. No one ever expects something like this to happen to a 23yo.

I'm currently watching her brother's kids so her sil can go see her. We haven't told them and it's breaking my heart to watch them play and know how much Jessica loves them. It's all so surreal.
