Dear anh Hoanh,
I understand and respect your reasoning.
Let's hope and pray the day we can visit your mother when she is in much 
better shape is not far away.
Best,
HPP

Dear brother Phong,

Thanks for the note and the prayer.  Yes, I understand the power of 
collective prayer.  And I am grateful that many brothers and sisters are 
pouring in such collective strength.  Thank you all.

My mother is still in intensive care at the hospital.  I imagine my family 
would welcome a visit, but if my mom could communicate with me now, I 
would think she would say, "Come on, I am in my worst shape and you want 
to introduce me to my friend?"  So, in respect to her wishes (as guessed 
by me), I would think we would just leave her alone for now. A prayer 
would be wonderful for her. 

Two days ago, I insisted that the doctors keep her away from sedative as 
much as they can, because "she is trying to fight her battle, and you guys 
keep putting her down by giving sedative to her."  The doctors agreed with 
my request and now use sedative at the minimum level, she looks much 
better today and appears to be more alert. I am keeping my fingers 
crossed. 

Thanks brother Phong and everyone for your support and prayer.  They are 
good for my mom and for my entire family.

Have a great day!

Hoanh

Dear anh Hoanh, 
I don't think I've met your Mom in person. 
Is she at home or in the hospital now? 
Would you and your family welcome a visit? 
Never underestimate to power of prayers, especially collective prayers. 
Sometimes, it's the only thing left to do. 
I was personally reminded of this last week, when I fell off a ladder on 
May 1st working around the house. 
During the first ten minutes or so after the fall, when I was flat on my 
back, in pain, couldn't move and not certain what shape I was in, I 
prayed. 
I am happy to report that while the injuries will keep me from heavy 
lifting for 6 weeks while the compression fractures in my L1 lumbar heals, 
my sore muscles are recovering well and I am up and moving almost 
normally.  It could have been much worse. 
It's been a wake up call that we are not getting any younger, nor more 
flexible physically. 
Best,  HPP
