That information was included in the statement.

The family is asking for privacy, so I'm not sure if we'll get updates very often. The family does seem to understand the concern though, so I expect updates to leak from time to time.

I just want her to get well. She's in good hands at Emory, so I am staying cautiously optimistic.
