Personal Update
Thank you so much for those who've expressed concern and sent well wishes and prayers our way. I'm thankful to report that things are challenging but good. Our baby came early--very early. So, while I'm back home from the hospital, she has to stay there until she's full term. She is in the best medical hands in the nation and, even more importantly, is in the hands of God. She is doing well for her age. But, she is very small and very young. So, we continue to pray for her to grow and to overcome the hurdles that every premie faces. Doctors and nurses call her "strong" and they call her "feisty," both of which make mommy quite proud.
I should be back to blogging more often now. And, I'll be back live on the air this Sunday on 740AM KTRH after the Astros game (probably about 230pm). I'm looking forward to getting back in the game.
Thank you for your prayers and your support.

You can only be a good person if you take good care of yourself and surround yourself with good, natural, healthy things and no stress.
What sort of Christians are your parents? Coptics? I have two very big Coptic Crosses. They are truely magical artifacts.
My middle neice was in the hospital for a number of months after her birth. My family took turns going to the hospital rocking her and feeding her and talking to her. I returned to the hospital after she was released just to rock the baby's who had no one in the world. It was an experience I will never forget.
Again, I'm glad everything is ok. You are right, there's no better place than Houston to be in this situation.
Take care.
I know it is hip to 'satisfy' people with giving a good show or getting publicly involved, but that is media prostitution; only the message is important. It is time people stop watching oprah and start getting serious again. People who need oprah or farakhan to tell them what's right are mentally ill.
I went to a Coptic church gathering once but found it very noisy. People were walking in and out all the time and made noise. I would not expect that during a religious event, but there did was a special energy during the ceremony, making it pretty magical.
I agree with what Robert said above. As much as us loyal, adoring fans of the quintessentially adorable Lores Rizkalla love to listen to her radio show, and read her comments on her forum here, there should be no question that her health as well as the health of her baby must come first. The value of human life trumps all, and how much moreso because Lores is such a special lady. Besides, in a purely practical level, how would we even enjoy listening to and reading her thoughts, if she is too weak to present them, or if, G-d forbid, something is not quite right with her precious new baby?
So I throw my support behind the idea of Lores devoting all of her time to restoring her own health as well as the health of her baby, coming back to us only when she is in excellent health.
Back before you were here Lores, 740 was news, weather and sports. Now it makes time for the Astros, but it's splitting its audience.
I listen for fun, but for sports, I listen to other stations. Your station will just be a political station. The Astros will probably move to another station and then Berry will lose an income stream.
But hey, enoughm with the nuts and bolts. I look forward to your show tomorrow, though I will probably try to call a gun show, so I won't be on you show, unless I catch a break between all the other things I have to do.
The prayers for your family are still coming.
