kei update #4

Hi guys. I heard from M and it's been a very rough week for Kei. Kei didn't give me permission to share full details about what's going on yet and I've not been able to speak directly to her for more than a week, so unfortunately I have to stay vague. She's had several procedures done and the aftermath has left her in rough shape. Prayers/good thoughts/energy for her, wisdom for the doctors, nurses and medical staff with next steps. Strength and patience and comfort for her family too.

I have scheduled my trip to go see her, I'm leaving next Sunday. Fingers crossed that the passport renewal goes smoothly and that there are no wild and crazy flight delays, please.

Her daughter said: "thank all the people you have asked to pray for my mom. It means so much to all of us especially my mom even though she can't convey that now. She said you are all such special people. You really are."

This has been really rough, and I'm sorry I'm not answering people individually right now. I appreciate absolutely everything you guys are doing, the messages you are sending her and me - crazy how we all made such important connections all around some books and movies.

Thank you so very much.
