Let's hope this just sounds ominous, and that there is no real health crisis facing Elizabeth or the Edwards family:

BREAKING NEWS- JOHN EDWARDS AND HIS WIFE, ELIZABETH, TO HOLD PRESS CONFERENCE THURSDAY AT NOON ET -- DEVELOPING

This comes on the heels of Senator Edwards cancelling a campaign appearance to accompany his wife to a doctor's appointment.

Hoping for good news, preparing for the worst.  My best wishes to the Edwards family.
