Some of you know Maerl Underthorne and her health condition. I received this email today from her brother -in-law and thought posting this here would be a way to let ppl who care know, in case i miss you in game...i love good news :)


-------------------

I very rarely check this email so sorry for the delay in the response. On dec. 28th Maerl went into a comma which lasted 3 weeks...she wasnt responding to any attempts at tactile stimulus at all, her sister and i had flown to arizona thinking the worst, then on friday of last week she responded to a nurse , and is as of now, awake and alert, the doctors are saying she is in a remission of sorts, her red cell count is normal now, which they cannot explain to us...she is still, or was very weak, but still has my laptop, so as soon as she is well enough im sure youll be hearing from her...Maerl told me alot about you and the game "second life"...it was her world for awhile...

OMG I had no idea it was THAT bad. I'm glad she seems to be recovering and I hope her recovery will be permanent.

Thank you so much for posting that Jemma. I have been so worried about her. Hopefully that coma was her body shutting down to devote it's energies to healing her.

Really glad to hear the good news. Her last post really seemed like a final goodbye. Looking forward to future posts.:)

I'm glad to hear she is doing better - I hope she continues to do so! What a sad and scary thing for her to have to endure.

Since Maerl's post we've been lurking out here wondering how she has been doing - waiting for the other shoe to drop, for good or ill. At last, we get the news - and it's good! Awesome.

Maybe a few hundred of us thinking good thoughts for her can help after all.

Hang in there Maerl kiddo - we miss you and want you back.

I met Maerl when she left a green bean in Slate under a prop I owned that used to be hers. That started such a sweet friendship... What a lovely lady... I will say a special prayer for her recovery. PLease pass that on to her and her family. With love, Baccara
