I am truly saddened to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with Julie that she will be given all the strength she needs to face this time.

I'm so sorry to hear that. i hope that she'll recover soon.
Maela,
Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know about Elizabeth's sudden and saddening illness. Please give her our best regards and sincere wishes for her immediate recovery. We will be looking forward to her return as the Forum will not be the same without her.
Have you known Elizabeth for a long time?
I am afraid I am not very familiar with medical terminology and I am not sure what 'pulmonary neuralgia' is. NHS mentions Neuralgia but not the pulminary one. Anyone knows?

Likewise, my research turns up nothing. Still, the nature of the disease doth not concern me so as the welfare of the angel afflicted.

I passed all your messages to Julie. Thank you very much, seeing her smile was such a lovely thing. I owe you much for making her feel warmed and serene.
Her LitNet account has been disabled until she can use it again, which I deeply pray for. If you want to know anything or to let her messages, please feel free to pm me.
Robin, this is what she said: "Milord has no right to mourn yet.Please be strong and remember that time spent together in a hospital once. I cannot tell how I felt, hearing what you wrote... I love you too...
Funny thing, when I went to England, I saw a roadsign indicating Sherwood Forest! Would you bring me there one day? I miss you so much..."
David: "Please, don't feel bad and don't apologize. You are a dearest friend and lovely person. You were here for me as well, believe me... And you remain my favorite cowboy!!"
She added that she would ask me to answer your e-mail soon and apologized for being too exhausted to do it right now. I know you'll be kind enough to understand.
Madhuri, Miss_Dream, Beth, Grace, Vintage, Logos: "Thank you very much for your kind words and comforting thoughts. I wish I had known you better as well. From what I have seen so far, you are beautiful persons, and I do hope to talk more with you one day."
Virgil: "How could I forget...? I felt so flattered when you honored me with a dance! I promise to do my best to make you all proud. I can't let go everything when I know such friends are waiting for my return."
Aimus: "Count on me! Was I not the Cheshire Cat after all? I am full of magic, right? Thank you..."
Pensive: "Pensy, darling, thank you too. I hope to see the blue bird again soon!"
I apologize to the others since I hadn't read your posts when I visited her today, but be sure I'll pass your messages to Julie soon. Thank you again for being so nice.
Scheherazade, I am sorry if I have difficulties to explain but translating from French is quite tough for me and I'm not very good, neither in English nor in medicine.
'Elizabeth' has been ill and fragile since she was born. Her lungs are not strong enough to handle her breathing correctly. From what I have understood of the Doctors diagnostic, they call pulmonary neuralgia the fact that she often has pneumothoraxes, leading the walls of her lungs to be torn little by little.
This time, her lungs even bled, that's why she had to go to the hospital.
The Doctors think breathing is too tiring for her, that she has no strength left to do it by herself. Moreover, it would be dangerous for now.
All we can hope for, right now, is that she may have some strength back and be allowed to have medical care at home, even with the ventilator.
I know Julie for about ten years now, and I love her deeply... I know how much this forum means to her and I am glad you are here for her.
I can assure you that she really is courageous and do her best to hold on.
I also would like to tell that she still is interested in the forum threads, which I print and read to her whenever I can.
One last thing, she was worried about Rachel and Eva. Does someone have news about them?
Maela
Rachel was banned from lit net. I will send you her email address in a PM. Check you PM box.

Eva is currently MIA. I've no news or knowledge of her. Rachel isn't on these forums anymore, but I'm sending her this thread at her request. She's got Julie's addresses so I'm sure she will be hearing from her soon.![]()
If it drains her of any energy at all, ask her not to do it, then! It's enough to know that she got it. Asking things of her in this dread time is unimaginably selfish.Originally Posted by Maela
Thank you so much for coming back Maela and we look forward to more, I'm sure.

Hi Maela,
julie doesnt know me...and vice a versa...but that doesnt matter...i already know a lot about her...i just wanted to tell Julie that she is a sweetheart... and ask her to keep smiling...i am sending her some Nursery Rhymes..just in case she runs out of things to smile on...
here are the good old nursery rhymes...just a bit Updated/Edited....
Mary had a little pig,
She kept it fat and plastered;
And when the price of pork went up,
She shot the little bastard
MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB
Her father shot it dead.
Now it goes to school with her,
Between two hunks of bread.
JACK AND JILL Went up the hill
To have a little fun.
Stupid Jill forgot the pill
And now they have a son.
SIMPLE SIMON met a Pie man going to the fair.
Said Simple Simon to the Pie man,
"What have you got there?"
Said the Pie man unto Simon,
"Pies, you dumb #$%!"
HUMPTY DUMPTY sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the kings' horses,
And all the kings' men.
Had scrambled eggs,
For breakfast again.
HEY DIDDLE, DIDDLE the cat took a piddle,
All over the bedside clock.
The little dog laughed to see such fun.
Then died of electric shock.
GEORGIE PORGY Pudding and Pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry.
And when the boys came out to play,
He kissed them too 'cause he was gay.
There was a little girl who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good, she was very, very good.
But when she was bad........
She got a fur coat, jewels, a waterfront condo, and a sports car.
...let me know if they work/dont work...i have an inventory of Smile_Detonators
Lots of LOVe...

I dunno if Julie'd be up for those style of rhymes. Still, anything to make her smile.

I am so sorry to hear about this news... I am really sad right now... I hate when I read sad news about anyone in the lit net. Maela please send my greetings to Julie and tell her to recover fast. Many kisses from me.![]()
here's a big hug for Julie

For Elizabeth Seawall
Words fail the sonnet writer, nothing I say expresses the pain I feel.
Lady Liz was so bright and cheerful—to know her was to love her.
I shake my head in disbelief that this sad news could be so real.
May the High God strike me dead if I lie, I rather it be me than her.
The tears flow down and I care not if they do, why must life be so cruel?
Our time too short to meet and make time for each other now and then?
My prayers are with Lady Liz night and day, unceasing they will continue—
And it is I who has been privileged to call such a brave soul a friend.
I always think of Lady Liz with quick wit and ready laughter and smile;
And those eyes that could melt the heart of the world's toughest man.
Our journey here is limited, we are here for but a little while—
I heard Liz speak of meeting in another place; yes, I think we shall meet then.
I wish I could just say the words and make this all just go away:
But I cannot, dear sweet Elizabeth. But I love you. And my heart is with you today...
Pen
Remember there is always a hope beyond hope, a strength beyond weakness, and a way when everyone says there isn't any. We have to believe. The power of the possitive always is greater than negitive. It's kept me going for the last 12 years. Hang on, Lady Liz. Dare to dream and believe!
God bless. Dale.
