Hello everyone…Matt here. Yo asked me to make a quick pit-stop for her at her blog. She’s been in the hospital for a few days after a procedure that has drawn excess fluid out of the membrane surrounding her left lung. The fluid caused breathing difficulty but she’s now feeling more at ease. She is looking forward to writing about her latest experiences and will make her own blog posting as soon as she is able. She’ll be coming home on Friday.

We would like to thank Baseball Mary and the Clement Street Bar and Grill for the extraordinary party/benefit that they held on Yo’s behalf. It was a packed house with live music by the Bruno Pelletier-Bacquaert and Bill Lanphier Duo followed by members of my band The Venusians, and catered by Angelina’s Deli and Catering. Many thanks to the raffle donors, attendees, and staff from the restaurant who came to work on a night when the restaurant is normally closed. The generosity and community spirit from that event will stay with us forever. Yo and I were sorry to miss it due to an unexpected visit to the hospital.

She asked me to let you know that your continued healing thoughts and prayers are being received and absorbed daily. Many shifts and changes have come about in since her last blog, and she looks forward to sharing them as soon as she is able.
Much love to all of you!
