Moderate Man is in the Hospital

Published on January 17, 2007 By Moderateman In Personal Relationships

Hi Folks - this is Colleen, Elie's other half. I wanted to let those of you that know Elie, know that he is in the hospital in serious condition. He has some sort of viral infection that has impacted all of his systems, including his brain. I took him in Friday morning and he has been in the ICU since then.

For those of you that know and care for Elie, I ask for your prayers or other kind thoughts into the universe for his recovery.

I will try to post something again soon. I apologize for the "public" forum, but the truth is, I don't really know how to use the blog, so this is the best I could do.

Thanks in advance for your positive thoughts for Elie.

Colleen

Colleen, please let Elie know that the crazy leftists of JU are pulling for him -- well, at least this one is!

Both of you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Note to all: I've gotten several emails wanting Elie's physical address so cards can be sent. Please understand that I cannot, under any circumstances, share this information.

I have, however, put a call in to Colleen, asking for the address and room # of the hospital he is in. (Colleen, if you're reading this, I left the message and my call back # on Elie's cell phone voicemail.)

that's actually what i was askin for. not his home addy or #, but the hospital...i should have been more clear...apologies

Elie:

You recently wrote on Bakerstreet's blog:

hey brudda, you get exactly three days of this deep depression crap, then you must go back to being the high and mighty asshole I have grown to love so much.

Get me?

I'm turning it back at ya -- it's been more than three days -- so it's time for you to come back and keep us mad liberals in line. Got me?

Colleen and Elie:

Know that you are loved and prayed for. I guess I don't know what else I can say. *big hugs*

Fucking Christ.

Elie, I hate that you have to go fight. I always become concerned when you do. I know you've always had a soft spot for those that feel passionately. I can't believe what you've been writing within the last few months. I'm torne between wondering why you've been holding back and guessing you just never spent the time. You've provided so much depth in your content since the old days of you, Doc. Guy, and Drmiler pulling the old united front; "three fingers pointing back at you!" that I feel you can't physically succumb.

If I could make it to Cali; slipping me from the bonds holding me here, I'd do it.

Best Wishes,

Deference

I am so sad to hear this. MM has given me some support and encouragement when I needed it most. He is a wonderful person and I am praying my hardest for him. I do believe in miracles and the power of intercessory prayer. I am sending healing thoughts and a prayer request to my church.

Elie, May God's healing love flow to every cell in your body, strengthening and restoring you to wholeness.

Oh fuck! This is what I get for not paying much attention to JoeUser for a couple of days!

I'm torn. On the one hand I want Elie to fight to stay here, and on the other....well, I'm not going to go there. Not right now, anyway.

I'll just say that I'm going to ask the universe to send not only healing Elie's way, but also the strength to fight this virus so he can stay here with his beloved Colleen.

We love you, ModMan.

HI all thi s is Michele(gimpyone) Elies best friend from New Hampshire. I just wanted to say thank you all for thinking of Elie and Colleen through all this. He has spoken fondly of you all to me. He is a warrior and he will fight this as long as he can. I have been traveling to see Colleen and Elie for the last 5yrs and every time before I leave he tells me that we will see each other again, he promises actually. He has yet to break a promise to me, I last got to travel last May and he again promised me that we would see each other this year, so I know he won't give up.
Thank you all again, have to run now, tears are flowing.... DAMNIT
