Emily could use your prayers.

wizzard890, my internet life partner and TCE co-author, dropped off the internet without warning about a week ago. This morning, I received this e-mail from her, via her mother:

"So you were kinda right to be worried about me...(this is from her mom - Em is only able to dictate now) I am recovering from a sudden death cardiac arrest that happened to me last

Thank you, I'll pass the message along. ♥

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Thank you so much--I know she'll be really touched to hear that her readers are wishing her the best. ♥

Oh my god. I'm so glad she's pulled through this, and I'm definitely keeping her in my thoughts, and keep us updated if there's anything more we can do for her, if it's not too much trouble?

I will have a more coherent well-wishing thing later for her, I am still sort of in OH MY GOD mode, which is like nothing compared to how you must be feeling, but I am glad she is recovering and I hope it's swift and I send her as many Internet hugs as I can give.

Of course, if I get any more status updates I'll post about them! ♥

I was getting really worried over the last couple of days, because we NEVER lose touch for more than 2-3 days without saying something about it beforehand, but I never suspected something like this. I think my stomach dropped forty feet when I read that message, and it's still clawing its way back up.

I'll probably be compiling all the messages in this thread into a Word document as they're posted, so Emily's mother has an easy time with them, so if you have anything else to add, I'll make sure all your kind thoughts are kept together. ♥ I know she'll be tickled to hear from you.

Okay, more coherent message time.

Emily,

First of all, I'm relieved beyond measure to hear that you pulled through, and that you're recovering. I hope beyond all hopes that you continue to get better, for lots of reasons -- you are a fantastic and wonderful and talented person, and I'm so glad I've gotten to know you better over the past few months. I already knew your fic was brilliant, but now I know just how brilliant and kind you are, too, and talking to you is always a pleasure and a delight. I'm glad I'm going to have the chance to do it again.

Take care of yourself, however you need to, and I wish you the best. You're in my thoughts. ♥

(and lots of hugs to you, Pyrrhic -- I don't think Emily could have a better friend than you right now, and I'm sure it means the world to her. ♥ You take care of yourself, too.)

Oh my god.

I don't even know what to say, except I am so glad she's as okay as she can be, and she's in my thoughts.

And so are you.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Thank you, you're very kind. ♥ I'll make sure she gets the message!

Holy bajeezus. Here's to wishing her a speedy recovery!

[pyrrhiccomedy]

Hear, hear!

I'll pass your best wishes along!
