Alyssa Recovering

Here we have our precious Alyssa, amazing little fighter for truth, justice, the American Way, and been-around-the-block, ordeal-sharing, comfort-giving stuffed animals.

After the ordeal she went through, it's nice to see those rosy cheeks, eh?

It was touch-and-go there for awhile.  The doctors kept her in hospital for about a week, then sent her home with daily visits from Nurse Ratched.  Alyssa's lungs are in top condition as anyone two or three blocks away can easily verify from the volume of her protests re aforementioned Nurse R.

MLB, myself, and a number of others went over to Alyssa's house and spent hour upon hour disinfecting, scrubbing, and so forth.  She's still quite vulnerable to infection, you see.

So this is our Sweetie.  You are cordially invited to send good vibes her way, prayers (if you're the praying sort--I am!) or just...keep her in your thoughts.

Thanks for being there for me and Madame LaBelle.  It has been a trial for all of us, but we're muddling through as best we can.  It does help knowing that we have an entire tribe, 'ohana, of friends and acquaintances who care.

Feel free to share with the group any stories you may have from your own personal histories.  You are, after all, my brothers and sisters.

We will relay all "get well" wishes to Alyssa.  She'll listen ever so intently (that's how she rolls) and then flash that wall-to-wall smile of hers.

Peace,

Elijah
