[The Straight Story]

Ok Everybody. KEEP THOSE PRAYERS COMING! HER COUNTS ARE RISING!!!

Hi everybody,

For the first time in a week, after god knows how many phonecalls seeking it, I FINALLY GOT MY FIRST BIT OF REAL ENCOURAGING NEWS!!!

I just got off the phone to get her latest blood counts, and they're up up UP!

Her white blood count went from .7 to 1.7, and her absolute neutrophil count (vital component) went from .4 to 1.5!!!

This is what I've been waiting for every day. She's still got a long way to go but right now I'm elated that these counts are finally going up. They kept going up a point or two, then down a few points, but this time they finally jumped! That's huge in my opinion, and she just needs to keep hanging on and fighting this thing. Mommy needs to come home. She's GOING to come home dammit!

I've been up all night staring at her picture visualizing her healing and repeating how strong she is and how I know she can bring herself back from the brink and beat this thing. I know she can do it.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, God and Goddess!!! This is what we've all been hoping and praying for. I lit a virtual candle for her last night, but now I may just run out and get a real one, to keep the good energy flowing. Thanks for posting her picture. What a beautiful woman! The world would be a poorer place without her and that just can't be allowed to happen! Totally out of the question.

Thank you for posting the good news and keeping us updated.

[Canuckistanian]

10. Good.

An increasing white blood count is an encouraging sign. Her body is fighting hard against the infection.

I just know she is thinking about her kids and husband and drawing strength from that.

Thanks for the news.

[MissWaverly]

11. may the angels help her,

we wish her the best, may she get better and be able to come home soon.

12. Please tell OMC

he and his wife are in my thoughts. I didn't have time to respond to the earlier post, but I have been concerned.

[givemebackmycountry]

13. OMC

I don't pray, but I keep on thinking that things will be OK for you.
I just keep thinking that all of the collective karma from all of your friends at DU will see you through the other side.
And when you get there, that beautiful woman will be there with you!

She's strong, you are strong, and we are strong.

Hope, it's a beautiful thing and we all are doing just that.
Hoping.

[EFerrari]

26. That's wonderful.

:kick:

[Metta]

27. *Important* Send her stuff *in a manner she can handle.*

Or else her spirit will see what you send, even the purest love and light, as an attack because of the mass of energy behind it and she'll waste her energy fighting you off. I can't emphasize this strongly enough.

[flyarm]

28. I am sending healing prayers to OMC and his beautiful wife..i will light a candle

and pray positive thoughts..that she recovers quickly and her blood counts go up..and she stabilizes.

Please send my caring thoughts to OMC..and my prayers to his whole family!!

kindest thoughts and prayers..

[ChazII]

29. A caringbridge or Caringpage

site would be a great way to keep folks informed. Easy to set up and folks can leave their thoughts and wishes, too. Glad to hear that things are looking better.

[Melissa G]

30. sending more good thoughts!

To OMC and Family :grouphug:

[NastyRiffraff]

31. Wonderful news!

Thanks for keeping us up to date. Also, thanks for posting her picture! It helps to visualize. She continues to be in my prayers.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

32. Thanks SS. You, And Everyone Else, Have Meant So Much To Me Through This.

Thank you for all the kind words, efforts, prayers, visualizations and everything else. That goes out to everyone. I'm off to be cause I'm really kind of on my last legs right now (exhausted all around), but I did want to say thanks and below is a link to a post I made in response to Jgraz's thread and also to mine in the lounge. I'll update more tomorrow, and am hoping to hell it is news that there are signs she's fighting it off.

Anyway, thanks for everything. Here's the latest as to where we're at:

[havocmom]

33. Get rest. Let us do the worrying and praying for a spell

She has a whole lotta folk doin the DU for her.

Kiss the kids. And smile when you can. It's good for you. :hug:

[roguevalley]

34. when someone in my family got sick, I put their picture in my shirt

next to my heart and prayed day and night, visualizing them well. they pulled out of liver failure. we will keep it up. I am so very glad for all of you. Don't ever give up.

[lumberjack_jeff]

35. Wonderful news.

I've been thinking about the OMC family all day. I'm glad to hear something positive. Thanks SS for passing word along.

[Kelly Rupert]

36. I'm not at all religious.

I've seen the studies proving that mass prayer has no effect whatsoever on recovery.

I'm still praying several times a day for her. Rationality goes out the window in face of tragedy.

[Raejeanowl]

45. Good!

Let's push that "coincidental recovery" envelope all over the planet if need be, if it works! And keep it coming!

[SaveOurDemocracy]

37. Good news!

Thanks for the update.

[lovuian]

38. She is in my prayers for recovery

She has a beautiful smile

[DeepModem Mom]

39. Thank you, TSS -- What a beautiful lady!

[TygrBright]

40. OK-- I am DEFINITELY holding Mrs. OMC in the Light...

...and praying for her and her family. I've had septicaemia and it's beaucoup ugly.

BUT, as an aside, and just provoked by SS's quote of OMC's post with the picture of Mrs. OMC right above SS's sigline pic of Mrs. SS...

DAMN, these DU men marry some mega-hot babalicious women.

Wow.

Ya know they gotta have SOMETHING (wink-wink) doncha?

Hang in there OMC... we're all pulling for you and the Mrs.

encouragingly,
Bright

[LeftishBrit]

41. More positive thoughts and vibes to you all!

[Jeanette in FL]

42. Sending positive vibes from Florida

I, too, picture her as a healthy vibrant woman, taking care of her children and OMC. I see the blood cells multiplying daily. She is well and comfortable. There is no other choice.

[applegrove]

43. Great stuff!

[robinlynne]

44. beautiful. lots and lots of love to you both.

[Buns_of_Fire]

46. EXcellent news! I won't be slacking off, though...

More prayers, more supplications, and more good thoughts are headed at'ya even as we speak. :thumbsup:
