Sorry for not offering my condolences earlier, I some how over looked this thread. But, that aside, you really do have my condolences now.
My mom had pneumonia last year... Around January/February of 2006. She spent, I believe, three or four days in the hospital... Although, it was no where near as serious, as it sounds, just because she doesn't have any other real health concerns, and (as I'd assume) is much younger than your own mother.
"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
