With a little help from our friends...

As you probably know by now, Terri is quite ill with encephalitis and pneumonia.  We're extremely fortunate that the amazing team at Mass General is doing everything they can for her, and she's improving little by little.  She's not out of the woods yet though, and we don't want to leave her alone - Dad absolutely refuses to, and Beth and I and Lisa are taking turns supporting both Mom and Dad.  We don't know how long this will all last, and the costs of staying in Boston, eating in Boston and parking in Boston, even with discounted medical rates, are starting to add up.  Mom and Dad are both super proud and will probably yell at me for doing this, but asking for help isn't a bad thing, and besides, I'm at least as stubborn as they are :).  We'd appreciate anything you could do to help them out.  She can't have visitors outside of us, or flowers or plants yet.  We'd love cards - you can send them to my address, (15 Mallards Way, Windham, ME  04062) and we'll be sure she gets them.  Thank you all for all of your love, and support, and prayers.  Keep them coming!  We love you all!
