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.

What became apparent to the public is that children make their own decisions in many cases ones their parents disagree with. Choice of careers, companions, mates, lifestyles etc. Casey's
decision to reenlist and volunteer for the rescue mission is a sign of character and true courage. A patriot who is deceased once said "Courage is going forward with the Mission and not letting on who scared you are." Colonel David H. Hackworth.

This Camp Casey was all about Cindy not Casey he was barely mentioned in her diatribe. As to the Halliburton thing funny the Media and left did not care when they supplied the US military under President Clinton. But I forget he was a Democrat. And we were not threatened by the Serbs.

I have sympathy for the loss the Sheehan family has sufferred impugning Casey's actions and honor is not a decent way to mourn his death. For all the families who have laid at the altar of freedom the life of a family member. I am eternally grateful for your loved one's sacrifice. As long as Patriots are willing to step forward and defend our way of life we will remain free. We must have the resolve to see this through to the end.

My mother was in a PCU (Post Critical Care Unit ), not an ICU, when she was stabilized, like Cindy's mother is.

PCU cares for those who are ready to begin the transition of moving from the ICU/CCU to a general nursing care unit as well as other types of patients who may need closer monitoring.

According to the article accessed by your link

Ms. Sheehan's mother was in the intensive care unit but could be moved to a room after doctors meet Friday, said Michael Khoo, a Sheehan spokesman at the Crawford camp. He said Ms. Sheehan's mother was “stabilized.”

If doctors are discussing whether to move the "stabilized" Shirley Miller to a regular room soon, I doubt, barring setbacks, that she'll remain in the ICU for a long time. If Mrs. Miller really stays in the ICU for an extended time, Cindy better stay close to the hospital.

I'm assuming that Mrs. Miller is not in a tiny hospital.
