Cassandra is very huggable, too. 
Just got off the phone with my daughter-in-law. She was in the hospital chapel and my son was up on the floor with Cassandra. My son is literally falling part. My husband and I will be seeing them tonight for dinner. Hopefully, we'll come up with the right words of solace and encouragement, try to convince them that they can get through this, together.
My husband and I went through a similar event when our son suffered a near-fatal brain injury. The waiting and uncertainty are absolute killers. It's just hard and, of course, heartbreaking.
Appreciate the support.
