hosp.

Just called my mom and she answered -- from a hospital. Apparently my stepdad took her to the emergency room earlier this morning after she vomited an excessive amount of blood. When I spoke to her she was about to undergo a series of tests. She's supposed to call me back in a few hours.

I think this recent development is a good thing because I thought she was foolish to wait until the 12th to see the same doctor -- the doctor who has been unable, and perhaps unwilling, to exhaust the appropriate methods to reach a diagnosis -- about a condition that has worsened in recent days. More later...
