Okay, I don’t have all the details yet, but everything went really, really well. She has a skull. The surgical team says they’re DONE inside her head. Like, done. There was very little bleeding, so healing should be fast. I’ll get this out to my mailing list later.
Thank you all for your help.
Christine has written today’s diary here.
In honor of Orien Rose, all movies must start with a vowel.
I’ll start you with an easy one, and then you go on and post the next question.
Easy one:
“Falling Slowly”
This email is from Orien Rose’s mother, Christine, timestamped 8:38 am:
Thank you for the texts received already this morning. She went under about 20
minutes ago…Orien just returning after being with her for the first few moments.I will post to the blog as soon as I can get to it!
Blessings
Sunday I didn’t post a meditation. Instead, Roberta and I spent about six hours writing a blog post about Orien Rose, a cover letter to send to bloggers (many of whom have responded with grace and wonderfulness), figuring out what our mailing list was, etc. That was my meditation, and yeah, that’s your meditation too. It’s about healing. It’s all about healing. In some ways, even the magic we do that has nothing to do with healing is about healing. Healing the pain of not having a job or a relationship. Healing the ache of the world through political or justice magic. Healing our ability to believe we can do magic. Being the change we want to see in the world.
I woke this morning and thought of Orien Rose. Showered and thought of Orien Rose. Made coffee and thought of Orien Rose. And at one moment, I wept; not from pain or sorrow, but from the wave of energy; of all the thoughts moving with mine towards this girl and her family.
I have a busy frickin day. But I will be thinking of Orien Rose.
