maddy

Dec 13th Report

Following a tip from Edward Rice, I checked with Patient Information at
the hospital. They show Maddy in a regular room, not in the ICU.

But this is not good news.

I've also just talked to Jean. By consensus, no exotic, extraordinary
measures (such aqs a shunt between her brain and abdomen) will be
performed on Maddy.

She is breathing on her own, but she is deeply unconscious. From brain
swelling twice in one week, she has permanent physical neurological
damage (her left side was impaired even before the second swelling).
The extent of damage to her cognitive functions is unknown, but some
damage is inevitable.

Luce, Hilary, Sacha, Larry, and Marla are all with her, and Jean will
return to Philadelphia tomorrow.

I'll post again whenever I receive more information.
