Mavis has had some stunningly bad news. She needed to add a page to her journal to have enough space to write about what has happened.

Mavis writes...April 12, 2015, 7:00 AM  Evie called in the middle of the night, C has had a massive stroke, or at least that's what they think right now. I'm shaking and in disbelief - How has this happened, C is always in perfect health and younger than me. Evie says that Edward had gone on a fishing trip - the opening of trout season - he left early Friday morning. E was at a seminar for work all that day and into the evening, on Saturday she had to pick up Kate from  a friend's and then she stopped in to see C around three and found her lying on the floor unconscious. no one knows how long she'd been lying there. My God, I am so worried - E says that the doctors are saying she's suffered major neurological damage. Edward is beside himself and blames himself for not being there. I'v hired a car to take me to the hospital today.
