[Ipg-smz] Going incognito Update

[Christine Hall]

Mother's breathing tube was pulled on Tuesday night, her vitals are 
slowly lowering, and she's being kept comfortable with the best hospital 
drugs available. At least one person from the family is with her 
round-the-clock.

I returned home last night. If she's still with us on Saturday I'll 
drive back up to do what I can to help.

I saw my youngest brother James, whom I haven't seen 15 years.
