Thanks everyone.

I'm just getting the kids off to school, then I'm heading over to the hospital for the morning.

Needless to say, I'm sort of sick to my stomach. Nonni is really like a second mother to me. My dad is her only child, and her husband -- my grandfather -- died when my dad was in college, so she's been a widow for 54 years! When my parents got married, they stayed with her in her home -- and never left. So I grew up with her under the same roof. She has certainly become frailer over the past year (she still lives at home under the watchful and exhausted eye of my parents)... but still, aaargh, the wondering/waiting is agonizing.

I try hard to not worry about things outside of my control. This one though is more than a challenge in that department.

Again, thank you all for your support and words of encouragement. It really means a lot to me.
