Great.
Guess what:

I just found out my youngest sister is pregnant with baby #2. She is 5+ months pregnant. She is 40 yrs.
She is an emergency services doctor. She works regularily on weekends. Long shifts ..12 hrs. each. She sleeps at the hospital. It's 100 kms. one way from home.
She is the primary breadwinner because of her significantly higher salary even though she's only part-time. They have a 20 month old daughter.
She did not answer my email about H1N1 vaccination for herself.

And it's confirmed within the last 24 hrs. my father has prostate cancer. The doctor-sister is the family member who is/will be the main info. conduit..and yes, she is the one in direct communication with father's physician.

There is considerable stress right now on certain family members.
