Dear Mom

It was early in the morning on Saturday, July 1st, while I was creating content for my homepages, when my cell phone unexpectedly started ringing. It was Dad, saying that Mom suddenly had a headache. I heard her groaning from behind the phone. I asked Dad to call an ambulance, and he did.

Mom was diagnosed with a Grade 5 subarachnoid hemorrhage and underwent emergency surgery via catheter after a discussion between me and an on-call neurosurgeon while I was driving at an alarming speed on the highway to get to the hospital.

We are really happy to say that the surgery was successful and she is in an acceptable condition considering her poor condition before the surgery. I really hope that with rehabilitation she will recover to the near level she was at before this the accident.

This month went by faster than ever. I took a day off several times and went back to my hometown to help Dad once or twice a week. I also gave 5 lectures at scientific meetings on weekends this month, although I cannot remember much about them.

So far, everything is going better than I expected. Thank you all and thank you God. We are looking forward to Mom's return home.
