I am concerned that repeatedly pestering for updates, over pages and pages, a person who is already going through so much may have unkind and unhelpful effects, even though it is well-intentioned.
This is *Alley's* crisis, not ours. *Her* life. How stressed anyone here may be over not knowing what is going on is NOT ALLEY'S PROBLEM, nor should it be made so, nor should that issue even be raised as another burden for her to bear.
The BYC community has made it abundantly clear that Alley and Davey and their family are in our hearts and prayers. Now, it seems to me, we should back off and leave her some space. God can hear *silent* prayers perfectly well, you know?, and I really doubt Alley needs all this pressure from her BYC friends right now.
I know the internet can make things seem like soap operas but we have to remember to respect peoples' actual lives and feelings.

Pat (edited to add: since this thread is Alley's, I would appreciate it if anyone who wants to comment on this subject or tell me I am a curiosity-less meanie would do it *privately*, please)
