Today's the one year anniversary of me renting my massage studio, and the first month I've had rent in full and my checking in the positive at the beginning of the month. I did it!

Volunteers needed @ festival site til like 7pm, starting now. Setting up, come on by If you can help. Balboa Park @ President's Way!

Still not sure on memorial plans, but I don't think flying back to Houston this week is in the cards. =( In the meantime, here are a few ways you can help Leigh's family:



Tonight! (Originally to pay for recovery, now a benefit)


April 25th:

x-posted from her journal:


I know a few of you here and have pretty much heard something about the rest of you in one way or another and just wanted to say thank you for your thoughts, prayers, and well wishes. That was one thing the local TV news people I've talked to tell me is that they've received dozens if not hundreds of calls and emails saying they know her and asking how she is. Leigh is going to feel so wonderful when she is able to read your posts and/or hear about how many people care and love her so much. And it's been so enduring and supportive right now to me and the rest of the family as well.

You know by now she's in pretty serious condition. And yes, the latest I heard this morning from the hospital staff was that she'll be in a bit of a deeper medically induced coma now in order to rest her brain some more and ease the swelling. Before all I could do is stand by her bed and maybe talk to her or touch her arm but now I am not doing that because it might cause too much stimulation to her brain that they want in total rest.

The hardest thing to do is wait, but it can also be the most encouraging and hopeful thing to do too, because when they say let's see what happens tomorrow or in a few hours or two or three days or whenever from now, then I'm thankful there is a future time to focus on. The questions can't be answered yet about prognosis or recovery, but just get through these heavy-duty beginning hours after the trauma she's sustained to her head.

It's amazing, given the gravity of the impact, that she didn't also break every bone in her body, but so far all they've found is a broken clavicle in addition to her head trauma. And she doesn't appear to even have many scrapes or bruises, etc., as far as I can tell. Her head has been shaved for the surgeries that give her that sort of "Sinead" look a far cry from the 1989 picture at the top of this post, but making her the prettiest one in the room now imo.

Someone mentioned the "Roxy interview," and yeah, I thought it was the funniest news video by far, which shows her "little cat Roxy" - boy, Rox took advantage of his 10 seconds or so of fame in that one!

Anyway, everyone hang in there - I think we're in for the long haul - and if there's anything I can do, like answer any questions you have - or try and get an answer for you from somewhere, please let me know. Thanks again for your support and love.

"i wish i had some great news to report, but unfortunately not so much. her brain pressure shot up to 36 (which i think means the swelling). anyhow, apparently good pressure is between 5 and 15. so she's way way too high. they put her under restriction in the ICU and into a deeper coma.
i'm on my way to the hospital now, leaving work. i'll write more when i know more.
thank you all for your messages and thoughts!!!!!!!! this isn't easy for anyone. she just has to be ok."

The 2nd surgery was successful in removing the blood clot, but has not relieved pressure from her brain. Most recent update from Lucy:

"Update: the swelling in her brain did not go down, which is very bad. They put her into a deep coma, basically paralyzing her. Please please pray for her."

Follow-up article 2

Houston Ctr for Photography is collecting flowers and cards to send at once, or you can send them to Memorial Hermann.

"Her brother says she's looking a little better. They think the pressure has gone down. Not completely stable, still in the coma."

le_lah was seriously injured today in an accident on her bicycle on Westheimer, where she was hit when two fire trucks collided. Sending good thoughts her way for minimal damage and a speedy recovery.

Man.

Article here.

She's not only one of my favorite people from high school, but I just saw her at Christmas! And borrowed her dad's massage table!

Thankfully we all know Leigh kicks much ass and will be peeking away at LJ here again very soon.

edit 4:20pm Text from Lucy: "She's going back into surgery because the pressure didn't go down in the last surgery. They're going to cut out a blood clot at the base of her skull, her brain is very swollen. She did move her hands and feet so no paralysis."

4:40 Coma induced
