The reason to leave also popped up just as the national backlash was growing. How convenient.
If they do then they will have greatly underestimated FReepers!
It occurred to me. Of course, it's entirely possible her mother is ill, as well.
Or, her mother could be in the ICU for a month, like my mother was.
Speculating about strokes is tricky. I wouldn't suggest it.
By the way, this all happened yesterday? Cindy's already home. It ain't that far to California from Texas.
this whole thing stinks to high heaven! I don't believe for one second Sheehan's mom has a stroke. I think she had major anxiety due to what her daughter has been doing and at an older women's age it can make you feel like your having a heart attack or stroke. I think Sheehan needed an excuse to get out of Crawford. Whether she is coming back or not I do not know.
This later article states her mom is in ICU, according to a Sheehan spokesman:

Crow is thawing, but it would be nice to have confirmation from other than "a Sheehan spokeman" about her mother's condition. It could be that they're worried about the speculation too.
And, I believe this line of inquiry is appropriate. She made herself a public figure, which means she's invited the scrutiny.
Cindy's only way out of this mess she's created is
...an extended stay in a hospital for "exhaustion."
If Cindy's mother is sick, Cindy may learn a lesson.
She didn't seem to understand, before her mother's illness, that the Iraq campaign did not have to go perfectly in order to be a worthwhile campaign.
She might learn that campaigns can have setbacks, as they get interrupted by sickness, accidents and death.
I'll use one of Cindy's favorite words in an explanatory phrase, so Cindy can understand --"Cr@p happens."
You would think that if the mother of a (MSM-annointed) national hero were ill, there would be non-stop coverage of her condition.
So they got a hospital to admit her mother for no medical reason, huh?
There's something not right about that speculation, sorry.

We already know where Cindy's mother is - whether it was all a ruse, I have no idea:

Except that Camp Cindy has put up a huge circus tent (how appropriate) on their new site.
One former City Council member recalls that when the hospital was first built, Hawaiian Gardens welcomed it as the solution to the community's unmet health care needs. But citing the high cost of treatment at Tri-City and the lack of charity care, he said few use the hospital now. [snip]How does the hospital manage to stay afloat with such low patient volume? The answer may be as close as the sign in front of Tri-City's main entrance announcing it is also the home of "The Center for the Surgical Treatment of Obesity."
Tri-City, it seems, has gotten into the lucrative business of stomach stapling.[snip]
Since posting this report on our website, more information has come to light that strongly suggests that Moskowitz's non-profit Tri-City Regional Medical Center is in violation of Internal Revenue Service rules qualifying health care providers for tax-exemption
