Hi everyone,

Marianna has asked me to post this brief update to account for her absence, which is likely to continue for some time. She wanted me to let you know that her mom is currently in the hospital in intensive care. There have been some recent promising developments, but it's still too early to speculate what will happen. Marianna is currently back in California dealing with this situation and understandably has little time for the forum at the moment, but asks for your understanding and positive thoughts during this time.
