In Hospital

That, I'm afraid, is where Helen is right now (as some of you may already know). She's okay, if by "okay" you mean "laid up with hydronephrosis secondary to a kidney infection." The doctors are weighing whether to do surgery to drain the fluid, but first, that infection has got to go.

The twins are fine as of this writing, but obviously this is an unwelcome development.

Helen, get well. We're all pulling for you and the Lemonheads.

UPDATE 29 July 2007: Just had an email from her with two whole words in it, but they were the right words: "I'm home." I'll let Helen take it from here, guys, and thanks so much for not throwing rotten tomatoes at me. You've all been heaps of fun.
