Please pray for Ella bc she is in the hospital atm recovering from an adrenal crisis!! She had sepsis as a baby bc of chickenpox & it destroyed her adrenal glands. Her body doesn't make the stuff needed to help regulate sodium levels to be able to cope with super hot temperatures. It was like 100 degrees at her school yesterday. She had convulsions. She is expected to be ok but is going to be in the hospital for the rest of the week. :( Then she has finals!

Well I hope they push those exams back a few weeks or so. There must be some way of making the tests cheat proof.

Thanks for prayers for Ella! She is still in hospital but is no longer in critical condition! She'd been in a coma last week! They did tests, her brain functioning & heart are fine. She just has to take it easy for a while.

It turns out that I was mistaken about her finals so that's a good thing! Bc she had the crisis on Tues & had said it was finals week I thought she still hadn't taken most of her finals. I hadn't known that finals had started the Friday b4 her crisis so she had taken most of them already. She doesn't have finals for all her classes bc some are independent research. For those she wrote papers & has to defend them, basically that's just presenting them to the profs. She already turned in the papers so the hardest part is done! The defenses can be set up some time for the summer. She'd been meeting with a prof when she had the convulsions & went into the crisis. There was this mega terrible heat wave but her school had turned OFF the AC on most of the campus! Bc they were worried about people cranking up the AC too high & there being power outages in key areas but it really seems like for a campus like that that has got so much money they'd have some other solution. So there was AC in the classrooms where final exams were being given but not in the rest of the buildings. She'd been meeting with a prof in the prof's office when she had the convulsions. The office wasn't cooled, it was scorching. It was 102F that day! The prof went to get help for her & when the prof came back she was having convulsions. She carries an emergency kit with her for injections, they gave her one but she still didn't regain consciousness. She is expected to be OK. I still haven't talked with her. I'm friends with her brother too so he is the one who has been giving me updates.

Is that a good ol' fashioned flip phone I spy? What's so sad is that I can't even remember what mine looked like. I just remember I had some sparkly/tacky keychains hanging from the corner. Oh it was grand.

Aaaand more importantly, nice picture! :)

Edit Update: It has been 15 minutes and I've scrolled through hundreds of pictures of old flip phones and I can't for the life of me remember which one was my first! IS THIS OLD AGE?!

Now don't you start talking like that, Miss Ray. You are even younger than I am, and I know I am not old. :)

I saw a post you made with a video of you dancing, it was beautiful. Then saw where you said it was from a while back. Hope you're back to dancing again!

It's great to know you're alive and kicking! I hope everything is going well for you right now. :)

You get the feeling that Stanfordella is not the type to die easily, and, as Go Braves just said, is destined to do great things. ^-^
