Incredible Medical Emergency

Nine days ago, my son was in an incredible event on the other side of the world, in China. He miraculously survived. He is now out of ICU. He has six broken ribs, his lung, liver and kidney were also damaged but should heal 100%.
The US State Dept has been wonderful. And his Chinese doctors are providing excellent care.
I don't want to go into details about the event at this time as many loose ends need to be tied.
My son does not want me fly to China. Insists upon it. He says he will be fine. Yep, he's no mama's boy, much to my dismay!
But needless to say my mind was completely focused on my son all last week. Thank God for the Internet and cell phones helping us keep in close contact.
I thought I would try and post an edition today (hope it meets your humor needs) and update you somewhat on the incredible medical emergency.

Thank you for all your good wishes and prayers. They are working.
Thank you for your patience.
Love, Lisa

"President Obama has another nominee in the news. That's right. President Obama's nominee for surgeon general is a doctor who practices in rural Alabama and still makes house calls.

"Of course, Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearings are under way. It's interesting. Political experts say that if Republican senators attack Sonia Sotomayor too harshly, they could alienate Latino members of their own party.

Playing the God Card

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, still clinging to office after admitting to an extramarital affair, wrote in an opinion piece released Sunday that God will change him so he can emerge from the scandal a more humble and effective leader.

"South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford is trying to bounce back from his sex scandal. Sanford has cleared his schedule this week to take a personal trip with his wife. Isn't that nice? Sanford said he wanted to go somewhere exotic and romantic, but he's going to get this trip with his wife out of the way first." --Conan O'Brien
