Mom was having a good night until about midnight, and then started breathing fast. They were worried about her having had a pulmonary embolus, which is pretty common after being in her condition for nine days. Her blood oxygen level was good, and after working on her breathing for a while, her respiratory rate returned to normal. Otherwise, she is resting pretty comfortably this morning.

Tom – thanks for the updates. I unfortunately know what this vigil is like for you and your family. I am keeping good thoughts in my mind for your mom. She is on my mind a lot and I pray that she beats this thing with a hammer. She is one tough cookie.
Thank you so much for doing this. Tasha is very special to so many people – she was responsible for being hired to run Leadership Evanston and thus for my last 12 years here at the Evanston Community Foundation. Moreover, she’s always been a great role model in community leadership, a funny and insightful observer of Evanston, and a great friend. I’ve been thinking of her and your family a great deal and hoping that she will continue to recover. Please give her my love.
