America has problems, but America is NOT THE PROBLEM!~

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

Elie, I know you don't like me, but I want to apologize for my comments; they were wrong.

I'm sending you all I have; vibes, thoughts, prayers and the like are coming your way. I'm also gonna light a candle for you, and ask everyone I know to put you in their prayers and thoughts.

Whip, thanks for the updates. I'll drop in after work to see how he's doing.

Keep fighting guy.

Peace, ~Lucas

Hello All - I don't have alot more to report....his temperature is down slightly this morning, but there has not been any other significant change. They have done xrays, bronchictomy, ultrasound, spinal tap and cat scans, all with negative results. The only thing that we have not gotten the results back on are the lung cultures and they should be back today or tomorrow.

I wanted to say thank you. This generous outpouring of love and good wishes made me feel so good, I had to sit down and have a good cry before I could respond.

I will do as was suggested in an earlier post and take the page of responses with me to the hospital today and read them to Elie. He has not regained consciousness since Sunday, but I'm betting that somewhere in there, he can hear my voice.

Thank you all so very much, especially those of you that were able to put your differences with Elie aside to offer your kind wishes.

I'll certainly let you know as things progress. Yes, please do send cards, but NOT flowers as ICU does not allow them....

Thank you all again. I am so touched and grateful.

there is a time and place for everything. now is the time for love and support to let a warrior know and feel that we are fighting with him in whatever small way we can. there will be plenty of time for robust and sometimes heated debate when he is well and back here with us:) ...and let him know i very much look forward to it.

and thanks whip and colleen for the prompt updates and opportunity to send a more personal gesture of love and support. i, for one am most grateful.

Oh, wow.

Please send my love to Elie. He is, and will stay, in my thoughts.

When I was in the hospital with a little kidney infection this man went to the trouble of finding out how to contact me and called me...more than once...to check on me. In fact, he was the first person besides my husband and children, to find out that my baby would be a girl. I remember how sweet he was, repeating her name back to me on the phone.

He has always been one to check on people if they haven't been blogging much, or to offer words of encouragement (or hard-earned wisdom) when one of us are struggling. He is so fiery and yet underneath it all, such a soft-hearted person.

Elie is a precious, precious man, unique in all the world, and it hurts to hear how very sick he is. Thank you, Colleen (and Michele and Sabrina) for keeping us updated. He is so loved, and I hope he knows that.
