@dlowan,
Yep, Lenox is E77th... so... yep, could be that one

The nurse that I spoke to at Mt Sinai was sure she wasn't there... but I know you know I know I may have just been talking to wrong person and I didn't have the year of birth, only full name and 18 November...


Walter - I think we have to believe that the ambulance showed up after Roberta'd made the call.

Who has Sheila's number? Prolly Thomas, right...? Is he still in ABQ?

@Izzie,
It's just pas 3 am in ABQ. But I've send a SMS to Thomas.

Well, if it wasn't NY but some smaller town, I'd called the dispatcher of the ambulance service at first to be confirmed a) that they've got her and b) where they've driven her.

@Walter Hinteler,
It's certainly very worrisome...


I have to go offline for a couple hours but will check back on my mobile if I can get signal. Hopefully, we'll have heard something soon - if only just to know that Boida's in safe hands...

<sigh>

Oh dear.... just catching up on this. Really hoping it'd be one of those things where I'm late and read through all the excitement and then get to the happy ending... but not yet.

9:05 AM EST now, hopefully that'll work better for contacting various people who might know what's up.

Thanks to all of you who have been checking.

Got her.

She's admitted to Bellevue

Can hardly talk and is exhausted but asked me to say hello to everyone

They're doing the steroid thing....not having the biopsy.

She couldn't talk any more.....so I'm thinking maybe we leave other calls for a day or so? Or not....it's hard to get staff to check on whether she wants calls they just put you through....it's bloody annoying! Sick people who can't breathe should be asked if they feel able to talk!

I think she will be happy to know we were searching when she feels better!

Phew.

@Izzie,
I don't know......I SO don't want to put people off talking to her, but she couldn't talk for more than a couple of minutes when I called.....maybe just leave it a bit?

Glad you found her.
Not glad Roberta needed to go there, but glad she went.
