<p>Lefthandofdog has a point--of course we all want to send cards, or other expressions of support, but please think through the logistics very carefully--no rush--you are a very generous and giving person, and I know you want to respond to everyone, but do take your time to come up with something that is safe and protective of your privacy. Your daughter will be recuperating for awhile, so there is lots of time!</p>
<p>Wish-April: Had to smile when you (and others) said you'll remember Soozie's D during the mishebarach (prayer for healing for those not familiar with the term) tomorrow. In our synagogue, congregants rise and call out names. I can just imagine the questioning looks I'll get when I say: "SoozieVermont's daughter"!! (I'd put a smiley face here, but I don't know how.....).
Susan: continuing to think of you and your family and wishing you the best. (Even my H and D, who frown on my CC addiction, ask about your D and are pulling for her.)</p>
<p>Thinking of you today, and hoping the surgery goes well. I'm sure you're all glad your oldest could be with you this weekend.</p>
<p>Susan,
Thinking of you and your daughter today as well.</p>
<p>Susan, Me also. I hope the surgery is as simple as possible for your daughter. Try to rest up this weekend if you can. With your older daughter there, perhaps you can get home and sleep in your own bed for a couple of hours.</p>
<p>Susan,</p>
<p>Here's hoping that by the time you read this, the surgery will be over and will have been a fabulous success! I hope the medical staff is able to manage her pain properly. With the surgery out of the way, the road becomes clearer for her quick and complete recovery. Sending lots of prayers, hugs, and positive thoughts to your D and your whole family. love, ~berurah</p>
<p>Susan, I too will be thinking of your daughter during tomorrow morning's misheberachs.</p>
<p>Susan,</p>
<p>It's after 5 est, you are probably waiting to go into recovery (if you aren't there already) Don't have to hope that every thing went well because because I am believing that it has turned out wounderfully . Big hugs to you and the family, get a little nap in now.</p>
<p>Hi Schoolmarm - I only posted that way since I had seen a few others referring to refuah shlemah (which I think translates to complete healing) and the misheberach (mentioning the name of a person who needs healing) so I figured they knew that Susan would find that meaningful. We also can say names aloud. And my S and H roll their eyes when I mention CC posts, but they too are pulling for Susan's D. Lots of similarities, huh?</p>
<p>Susan, I've thought of your family often throughout the day, imagining what might be going on in Vermont, which is 3 hours later than the time here. I hope by now everyone is resting comfortably and that the day went as well as it could.</p>
<p>Be well!</p>
<p>good evening Susan from Vermont. Hope your day went very good.</p>
<p>Hi Susan:</p>
<p>So sorry to hear about your daughter. I haven't been on for a while and just saw this today - I too pray that all went well with the surgery and everyone is resting. Take care and we'll be praying for you.</p>
<p>Debbie</p>
<p>Yes, wondering how it went today. She must be in recovery by now...probably talking and resting.</p>
<p>Soozie,
Hope your daughter continues to recover and you and your husband get some sleep. We will all be here for you in the coming months when the going gets rough. I wish I could send some cookies...........</p>
<p>Susan -</p>
<p>I too - have shared your story with my family - as they know about my CC 'addiction' (mainly as a lurker on the MT thread) and all of us send light and love from our hearts to help with recovery for your D.</p>
<p>I have followed your posts - and my D will be auditioning next year. I have thought of you so often today - as I know others have as well. Isn't it amazing? </p>
<p>What a community!</p>

<p>good morning Susan from Vermont. Hope today is a sunny day.</p>
<p>Yes, good morning from NJ as well...</p>
<p>Good morning from WV. It's a little warmer and sunnier today...hope the same holds true for your situation up there in Vermont, Susan. Regarding thoughts and prayers... I bet we have all 50 states covered by now. I'm curious if today and tomorrow will have many moments of inner peace and content moments, as everyone around the country(maybe the world even) will be in places of worship asking for special prayers for your family. We are a powerful group indeed.</p>
<p>Another wish for a refuah sh'laymah. I'll keep checking here for word from you, Susan. I hope both your D's and H are also drawing strength from this cybercommunity.</p>
<p>Just a thought about the email/address/screen name thing:
Perhaps we could make a thread in which those sending Soozie an email can post that they are doing so. The emails can have CC names in the subject line. This might help because if Soozie gets emails from two "LateToSchool"s from two different addresses, she knows that there will be a problem - likewise, if NewMtMom doesn't post that she's dropping a line, but one comes, Soozie can disregard it.</p>
<p>Susan - I'm sure you don't realize that you were my introduction to CC two years ago, and that you and your daughters have a special significance for me. In 2003, trying to understand and support my daughters' growing musical theatre habit, I googled my way onto CC and read a post from you. With some trepidation I asked some probably inane question, and you responded. Your response and your subsequent follow-ups were so welcoming, caring and thoughtful, that I was encouraged to jump in on a regular basis. I especially appreciated and looked forward to your feedback since we have daughters of similar ages. CC has been an incredible resource in my self-education, so that I can not only assist with college searchs but better understand and connect with my own daughters' goals and dreams. I think that we all tend to remember with a special fondness those people who walked all the way across a room to greet us and introduce us around when we first entered a new social setting, and for me on CC, you were that person. Please know that your family is in our thoughts down here in Georgia.</p>
