 Vicki Jean Bond-Harvey 37 year old mother of , Rylie Jane 4 yo and Daisy who is 10 months and wife of Nate Harvey. She is a fabulous and very popular hair-dresser at A-Line in Corte Madera. Our beloved friend has suffered a brain aneurysm and subsequent stroke 3 weeks ago. She is working very hard to get to the point of rehabilitation. Vicki is about as loyal as a friend gets and we are all pulling our resources together to help her family financially through this incredibly difficult time. The love that is felt for this woman is amazing and if that is any indicator of the outcome of this tragedy-she will thrive.

Update: I spoke to Vicki last night. Her family and friends were all gathered at Nickel Rose in San Rafael for the silent auction so I figured she might be feeling lonely. Her voice was strong but she suffered a few moments of confusion.
She knew who she was speaking with and told me about her sister's new babies (twins Henry and Charlotte, who were born prematurely last Wednesday.) It was encouraging that she could remember the details (Henry was only 2.5 lbs) but soon afterwards she kinda forgot that she was on the phone.
BFF Tobi visited with her yesterday and said she was stronger than she had feared. Tobi massaged her feet and legs and Vicki admitted that she could feel the sensation. The doctors feel that she'll walk again but it's going to be a long road.
She's very depressed and almost started to cry when she told me that she had to stop breastfeeding little Daisy. She has always been a mother hen to her friends so I can imagine how hard it is for her to realize that she can't take care of her own precious girls.
Please continue to keep Vicki and her family in your prayers. She'll be released from the rehab in a few weeks and will need lots of support.
