Heya all! I just wanted to announce that due to RL circumstances, I have to take a break from the game of jk2 and jk3. Things have gone very sour lately and I need to take care of my RL first. Its amazing how everything can go wrong at the exact same time.  My classes I am going to leave up for the time being. If a JAK or JAT is free to cover them, they will. I apologize that I cant be here right now to teach you guys. I love teaching and will miss it. Im gonna hop on irc and the forums here and there to check in, but for the most part I will be away for now. When the time is right Koyi and I will let you all know whats going on. Until then, Ill miss you guys. Take care and keep smiling!! Smily *********EDIT********** Ok I can finally tell the whole story now. Here it is in a nutshell. Alot of you guys know that Koyis mom has been very ill. It all started last Christmas eve, 2003. She was complaining of having the flu and claiming she was sick. Well Koyi and I had no clue what was in store when we heard those words. On christmas day of 2003, we got a phone call around 5pm est from Koyis Grandmother asking what was wrong with her daughter Suzanne. Koyi was baffled by this and asked what she was talking about. We then proceeded to find out that his mom had collapsed in her house and was rushed to a hospital. Panic overwhelmed us and we rushed an hour upstate to try and find her. We went to the house to ask neighbors what hospital she was in or where the ambulance brought her. No one knew. So we then proceeded to the closest hospitals and finally found her around 7pm that night. We were so relieved to find her and to hear that she just had pneumonia. At that point we figured that she would recover and be home asap. Little did we know that this single event would change our lives forever. After we visited with her for abit we rushed back down to my area to go to work. We had to manage the movie theater that night and got there 3hrs late, but better late then never. The next visit to the hospital caught us by surprise. We went there and were visited by a psychologist wanting to speak with us about her condition. She was asking us questions about her mental health and she assumed that Suzanne had always been in the state she currently was in. They then did a series of things with Suzanne such as touch your finger to your nose, follow the fingers with your eyes, etc tests. And we found that she was unable to do these things. Also her speech was becoming very slurred and hard to understand. We then thought that maybe she had a stroak. From this point on, every day Suzanne was going down hill. The doctors asked us about recessitation procedures and they were telling us she wasnt going to make it. However they had no clue what was wrong with her. Every test she went through came back negative. It wasnt stroke, menegitis, or anything else they assumed it to be. Her kidneys starting failing and it got to the point where we would see her and it was almost as though she wasnt there. She would be flailing around in her bed. She would moan and scream. It was the most horrible thing you could possible imagine when seeing your mother like that. It tore us both apart. So at this point we prepared for the worst. Koyi and I talked with her and told her she better hang on. I told her she has grandchildren to help raise eventually, a wedding to go through between Koyi and I one day, and that we needed her in our lives. After this conversation she seemed to turn around abit. She started getting her speach back a little, she was more understanding to her surrounding, she started getting some physical therapy to keep her legs working. She could actually sip drinks and eat apple sauce which was something that she couldnt do when this first came to be. Things totally turned around and Koyi and I were the happiest we were in a long time! Time went by and she was taken out of the hospital and put in a nursing home. She had to go there because she was still unable to walk or eat, so she needed the care. But she was out of the hospital!! It was awesome to experience. But then again things went back downhill.She starting getting some of the old symptoms again and was in and out of the hospital. From this point on she went downhill. She got a really bad bed sore on her back which kept getting infected and needed treatment. She was on antibiotics so much that she became immune to them and they had to keep changing the medicines. Gradually and slowly she went downhill until Januray 7th. On January 13th, the day before my bday, we got a message on my cell phone asking what to do with her body. This is how we found out that she passed away. The doctors and nursing staff didnt even call to tell us that she was dying. So yeah. Im asking that you please keep Koyi in your prayers and thoughts. This entire thing has been a nightmare for us all. An up and down rollercoaster filled with so many mixed feelings. Now that things have settled down more we wanted to let you all know why we are taking a break. Im not sure how long it will last but it may be for a little while. Its hard to see someone you love die and have no idea what was even wrong with her. Take care. Edited, Koyis moms funeral will be monday may 16th. Im glad this will soon be over.  _______________ RIP MOM 06/29/58-07/31/08 Married to Koyi Donita 4/30/11 This post was edited by Smilykrazy on May 09 2005 10:21pm. |

I hope everything has turned out for the better. I ask that we all pray for you and K. And more ever i pray for the doctors who failed to asses the situation and become more aware in the future of how this thing may occur. On a better note, she has gone on to a better place to remain at peace from here on and forever. She still hasnt left in a sense, her spirit surrounds us much like all who passed away, they guide us, help us, give us strenght and morever love us. never give up hope compassion is what i am showing, and hope many do as well _______________ The Force is my ally, and a powerful ally it is.

My deepest sympathies to both of you. Hearing tragedies like this reminds me how little I appreciate the people who love me sometimes. Your sad words made me ring my mum and tell her I love her. I hope that both of you and everyone affected pull through ok, and that everyone else is lucky as you and Koyi to have at least one person to support them through this tough period.
