Prayers for Captain's First Mate – UPDATED

Received an email from Fausta that Ed Morrissey, our good friend (and Blogfather) from Hot Air has had to rush his dear First Mate to the Emergency Room, apparently due to complications with the flu. Regular Hot Air readers know that Marcia Morrissey has fought a manful battle for her health -one that has included multiple kidney transplants- so clearly, the flu is a real danger to her. Please keep Ed and Marcia in you prayers.

UPDATE: Ed writes that Marcia will need to be hospitalized for a few days, and he will take some time off to be with her -though even hospitals have wifi now- so he’ll still be able to get a little work in. He is very grateful to know we are praying!
