Greetings Loyal Readers,
Your Faithful Correspondent is coming to you live from the bowels of Northwestern Memorial Hospital (technically we're on the 4th floor - interventional radiology, but that's bowely enough for YFC). It's a bit intimidating to follow in the footsteps of The Mom -- her last post was a beaut, dontcha think? Well, YFC isn't going to try to compete with her, we'll leave that to her siblings (kidding...mostly. YFC is going to get in trouble for that one), instead he'll provide you with the latest and greatest of the goings on from our base camp location...
Well, mere moments ago (1300 hours CST, in case you're scoring at home) Mom was taken back for some prep work. The actual procedure will commence at approximately 1400 hours (also CST dontcha know) and should take approximately 4 hours. Mom was in good spirits as the nurse led her away. When asked for some parting words, she was heard to say "Corey is my favorite."
Certainly unsurprising news there. Most importantly, it shows that Mom is completely lucid and in good spirits.
Patiently waiting/supporting Mom today are Bubbles the Clown, Uncle A, Aunt Berba and of course, Yours Truly. Despite the fact that we have been stuck in a small waiting area for almost 45 minutes, no injuries have been reported (give it time Gentle Reader, give it time). My darling Sister Melvin will be joining us shortly. She was flying in from Newark to be here (and boy are her arms tired!...sorry, you didn't deserve that) and we are all anxiously awaiting her arrival (especially YFC...can't wait to tell her about Mom's earlier comments).
So, really the news is all preliminary at this point. When there's more to know, you'll read it here first, so keep watching this space for frequent updates.
Arrivederci, my Loyal Readers...
Faithfully,
Corey

Dear Corey,
I thought I heard "Cousinie Scott is her favorite." Be nice to Bubbles, she is my favorite Aunt Beverly. Yes I know she is my only aunt Beverly but that does not change anything. Make sure you tell her what I said, I can use the points.
The comment about the siblings will not be address at this time. I don't think any of them can do what you do. And by the way what do you do?
You also failed to tell us about Springfield. Did you know that every state in the union has a city named Springfield.
I must remember to read an update later tonight. Give your favorite mother a kiss from my family.
I told Bubby what you said. Between me and you, she seemed pretty unimpressed (she was well aware that she was your only aunt).
Springfield was actually pretty good. It was very tense, but I think/hope that everything worked out all right. Hope that all is copacetic in Toronto. Great city and even better when you are there (who's sucking up now?).
Best to the family...
