I'm sure she wouldn't even want me writing this...but i don't care right now because i just want everyone out there to think good thoughts or pray or whatever it is you do.

Our friend Infernal Optimist just had a baby as most of you know. Little baby is beautiful and healthy and doing just fine. She's gorgeous. But Infernally isn't doing so great right now...

She had some routine surgery and things did not go as planned. She's stable now, but there were some real scary moments... so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She's an incredibly special person to me and I'm sure all of you that know her, love her too.

So just help me out here and give her some extra love and good vibes cuz she needs it right now....

Thank you...

    i will keep her in my prayers-
  • Mr_Box said on Feb 14, 2009....
    gingery....thank you. I'm trying not to worry too much, but that's hard you know? I just talked to her last night and everything was good...you just don't think things can ever go wrong like that. I will be sure and let her know you're thinking of her too and I will keep everyone updated as I can....
  • Mr_Box said on Feb 14, 2009....
    secret...thank you. I really appreciate it...
  • gingersoul said on Feb 14, 2009....
    Boxey.....yes, i know what it means...being separated and not being close to the loved ones where they are sick or in trouble...
    I know you know that  she is in good hands and has people around her to help ...but i also know that sometimes our concerns take over our rationality.....

    When this happens...take a deep breath and stay calm...{hugs}

    Sending her good thoughts, and saying a prayer for her now...she, and her family has always been in my prayers...

    Thank you for posting this Mr. Box...Jack...you are such a good friend.

  • Mr_Box said on Feb 14, 2009....
    gingery....the separation is the worst part. To not be able to be there and to not really know what's happening until so much later. I'm trying to stay calm and just trust she'll be alright. She's strong and tough. But I think maybe I'm not right now...
  • Mr_Box said on Feb 14, 2009....
    paper....thank you. I just want as many prayers and good thoughts as possible going her way. She means a lot to me and I don't know if my thoughts are enough...
  • gingersoul said on Feb 14, 2009....
    Jack.....stay here then and talk the anxiety away with us ..and collectively we can add good thoughts and prayers (from the ones of us who pray) to send her way....
  • evil_twin said on Feb 14, 2009....
    You know I'm thinking of her too. She'll be okay. It was pretty damn scary news to hear, I know. But she's gonna be alright. Especially with everyone else sending out their prayers and good thoughts too. Hang in there.

    *squeezes hand*

    ..it will be good... i believe in the strength of good thoughts and prayers...it saved me many a times...

    ...thank you for giving us the opportunity to do send them....and your thoughts are great thoughts...strong..powerful...love for a friend...what is more powerful?




  • Mr_Box said on Feb 14, 2009....
    gingery....I think that's why I had to post this. Because I needed to somehow say how afraid I was and have other people think the good thoughts for me since my thoughts are too worried to be good sometimes...

    Kyle....I hope you're right. You know I worry too much about everything. But I know you're thinking of her too. 

    paper....thank you. I know she's the one who needs the prayers and thoughts, and I think I just needed to say something so I didn't keep my worry to myself...
  • MsStar39 said on Feb 14, 2009....
    Sending good thoughts her way, hope she get well soon.
  • PAPERBACKWRITER said on Feb 14, 2009....

    ...Jack, one other good thing with this post, when Infernal reads it while recuperating, she´ll be filled with much positive energy...it´ll help her recover swiftly...

  • CreativeWoman said on Feb 14, 2009....
    I've said a prayer too for her speedy recovery.

  • Mr_Box said on Feb 14, 2009....
    MsStar....thank you very much.

    paper....I think she's gonna be embarrassed I posted this, but that's okay. As long as she's well enough soon to read it and tell me, 'oh you shouldn't have done that!' I'll be happy...

    Creative.....thank you so much.
  • queenparanoia said on Feb 14, 2009....
    my prayers are with her. i hope she's gonna be okay. thanks for updating us jack... when will she be release from the hospital?
  • PAPERBACKWRITER said on Feb 14, 2009....


    ...when Piet posted a blog for me last March while I was in the hospital... I cringed lol....but I visit that blog when I am at my lowest...I am glad he did it...and was happy when I saw the comments...

    ...dear Infernal, when you read this...please spare Captain Jack.... from scrubbing the entire ship´s deck  ...remember his stash of Blue Dew in his booty

    MrBox ~  it's difficult to be calm when someone you care about is going through a medical crisis...I know this too well.  When you've spent as much time as I have waiting for a surgery to be over and watching the immediate reaction of doctors and nurses to any deviation from the normal progression of things, it gives you some comfort knowing that they don't want anything bad to happen to your loved one either.
    You can't help but worry, but knowing these people are taking such good care of her and are prepared for every emergency should help ease your mind a little.
    I'm not a praying person but I have tons of good thoughts to send to Ferny and you.  
  • Mr_Box said on Feb 14, 2009....
    queenie....thank you very much. I don't know when she's coming home now. It was supposed to be tomorrow, but that was before this happened. I'll let you know as soon as I know more....

    paper....I hope this touches her enough to see everyone thinking of her, that her embarrassment is short lived. She hates people worrying about her, but how can you not? I know she's gonna be thankful that everyone cares so much. Thank you.

    twyla....it is very difficult to remain calm during something like this. Especially when I'm a worrywart to begin with. But I am trying to trust she's being taken care of well now...but my trust is shot when a routine procedure  ended up like this. I hope the doctors know what they're doing!  Thank you for the good thoughts. It's much appreciated....
  • pleasantskies said on Feb 14, 2009....
    I will think of her as much as I can.
  • Lucytorial said on Feb 14, 2009....
    oh god just reading this makes my skin crawl... No I keep saying... man Mr Box I don't have a religion but I'll pray none the less that she gets through and little infernal jnr has a mother to cherrish.... ohh god, I'm so sad to hear this.
     
    I hope and pray she is well enough in the next day to berate you wildy for embarrassing her with this post... please... send my love and thoughts to her direct, with warmth and a deep hug.
  • Zayda said on Feb 14, 2009....
    She's been added to our prayers and we are sending all our positive energy to her.
  • MissMimi said on Feb 14, 2009....
    I'm so sorry to hear this.  I will keep the Infernalmama in my prayers.  I wish her a speedy recovery so she can go home to her babies.  Get well soon or sooner...
  • mOOn_platOOn said on Feb 15, 2009....

    I am adding Infernal to my mental agenda for dreamspacing tonight as I participate with all in the constant creation of the universe...she's the sweetest, and our universe will not dissipate such a being so prematurely.

    Wishing for a speedy recovery.

  • pusscat said on Feb 15, 2009....
    I don't really pray but I will be willing her with all my heart to get better and get better quick so you can stop being a 'worrywart'.  I'm a worrywart too so I do know how you feel.

    I'm sure just knowing how much that little miracle and you need and love her will be the best medicine for her too.  She is very lucky to have a worrywart like you Mr Box caring so much about her.  You post all you like if it will ease your anxiety.  We all need somewhere to share our feelings and fears.  We'll all be here for you when you're ready.
  • woman said on Feb 15, 2009....
    Just said a prayer for her. And one for you to calm your heart.
  • botoni said on Feb 15, 2009....
    Prayers and positive thoughts for both Infernal and you coming from me.
  • nytquill17 said on Feb 15, 2009....
    Thanks for letting us know.  She's so strong and tough and she seems to sail right through things that would just knock me off my feet.  It's hard to imagine anything happening to her that she couldn't get through.
  • quietone said on Feb 15, 2009....
    prayers on their way for infernal and her new baby as well ~ Thanks Mr. Box for the update, please keep us posted.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Feb 15, 2009....
    I'm so sorry to hear this.  I will definately keep her in my thoughts and send good energy her way.  Please keep us updated if possible so that we know she is okay.
  • Never_Mind_The_Quality said on Feb 15, 2009....

    OWWW Mr. Box,

    Sorry I am so late!
    I will send as many good vibes into the universe for "Infernal".
    We were all so exited and anticipating the birth in Papers babyshower.

    You are always there for others.
    I can't remember you asking for something, so I think all of us will gladly
    help you in sending vibes and prayers for "Infernal".

    To Infernal: You hang in there young lady! Get well to enjoy your daughter!
    Grow strong as soon as you can to  not miss out on such a wonder!

    ;-))

    My dear Jaxl: Oh, you shouldn't have done that! ;-)

    Thank you, everyone...I am very tired and sore today, but down to minimal medical monitoring. I (and the newest mini-Infernal) will go home tomorrow or Tuesday, depending on some lab results and how well I play along with their requests, but the staff at least agrees that the danger has passed. You're all stuck with me forever. ;-)

    Yesterday was horribly scary. But here I am, and I'm not going anywhere. :) And yes, I know I owe SC pictures of my youngest kiddo...I'll try to get on that tonight.

    ~Infernal

  • pusscat said on Feb 15, 2009....
    Weeeeee-heeeeeeey!!!!!  You're ok girl!!! 

    Does that mean Boxy's heart rate may come down a bit from 230 ;-)

    So good to see your name up there after that scare.  I am glad you're feeling better in yourself, now you can get on with being a wonderful mum to that tiny
    tot :-)  Can't wait to see the piccies!

    Congrats and welcome back!!! 

    I think I heard Mr. Box's sigh of relief all the way here in Chicago.  :)
  • Mr_Box said on Feb 15, 2009....
    Thank you all for posting to this and sending your thoughts and prayers her way. And thank you all for helping me feel better too. I was so freaking worried I just had to get it out.

    But as you can see Infernally has already updated everyone with her wonderful presence....

    I do believe all of you helped make it possible too, so thank you....
  • Lucytorial said on Feb 15, 2009....

    Congratulations, Infernal - I am glad to hear you are feeling better.  Sounds like scary business.  I will keep you and mini-Infernal in my prayers this evening. 

    Thanks for keeping us posted, Mr. Box!
