Our wish for Christmas
Beyond the usual goodwill hopes for all, we wish a complete recovery for Carrie Fisher.
Hollywood actress and writer Carrie Fisher, best known for her role as Princess Leia in the "Star Wars" movies, suffered a cardiac episode on Friday during a flight from London to Los Angeles, where she was rushed to a hospital after landing.As so many of her well wishers have noted, this is 2016's way of adding insult to injury in our lives this year.
Fisher, 60, was described by her younger brother, Todd Fisher, as being in critical condition, and he said she remained under medical treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a Los Angeles hospital several hours after becoming ill.
"It's not fair to say 'stable.' I am not saying she is fine, or not fine," he told Reuters by telephone in response to reports about her condition. "She is in the ICU."
He said he was driving and en route to pick up their mother, the veteran entertainer Debbie Reynolds.
Todd Fisher offered no details about his sister's condition or the circumstances of how she was stricken. He said the information had came from his sister's assistant.
