    JD -- Having had to deal with my mom's health issues, my thoughts and prayers certainly are with you and her. At the risk of sounding more stupid than usual, though, what is BOOP?

    BOOP = Bronchiolitis Obliterans with Organizing Pneumonia.

    Thoughts with you, JD. I've never really had to deal with death -- my grandparents died when I was fairly young, save for a grandmother, but we knew that was coming. I live in fear of the day when my parents go. Don't know how I'm going to take that. I do know, that they're getting up there in age, so I tell them I love them every chance I get. Every phone call, every visit, every e-mail and letter, I always make a point of telling them. Even without that, they know.

    Just like you're mom knows, JD.

    Thanks, everyone. She's stable on a regular ventilator, but we are beginning to see the handwriting on the wall, that we could be faced with some difficult quality-of-life decisions soon if it looks like she can never function without the ventilator. She is heavily sedated and unaware of her surroundings, the doctors tell us, and there is nothing right now to give us longterm hope.

    The prayers and thoughts and wishes and encouragement mean a lot, I can tell you. Thanks again.
