Important - about Christabel

I saw this post the first day. I exchanged posts with Christabel in the past but do not know her well as I am rather new here. My heart goes out to her in this ordeal and I am praying for her every day, in my garden, amongst the growing veggies and flowers. Red carnations and orange daylilies. I will keep checking and keep praying.
 
Thanks, Odessa.:rose:

Give her a hug and a kiss for me. Christa is an amazing person, and I'm just sad I didn't call her when I had the chance. :( She's a beautiful soul and when she pulls through it, (she IS gonna pull through it!), and feel better I'll call her and tell her how much I appreciate her. I know she knows, but it's always good to say it out-loud.

Come back to us, Christa, I miss you.:rose::kiss:
 
God All Mighty and terribly cruel

get off her case! She had a very rough night as did we all. It shouldn't be like this. She should be resting peacefully in her coma and instead they had to shock her heart twice during the night. Now they have heart medications that they are giving her through IV.

I have to go home and so help me I do not want to. I want to camp out in the ICU and just hold her hand through it all. They won't allow it, not really. I could hide out and sneak back in but that would get me pitched out on my ass for breaching hospital protocol. I will go home and sleep for a while and hopefully I will be able to swing coming back during the week. With only her silent fiance to keep her company I am afraid. I am very afraid actually and I don't know what to do with it.

Allard Chardon & Lady Cybell, thank you for your well wishes and warm thoughts. She loved to garden herself. She swears she is a black thumb but her flowers and herbs beg to differ. Thank you.

I am going to go pack up my things and shut down her computer, in doing so I want to know who sank her stories in the ratings. Thats just bullshit as far as I am concerned. I saw her scores just over a week ago and they were awesome, suddenly every single one of her stories has dropped and there are no reviews as to why. It pisses me off to NO end that someone has done such a thing to her. Childish, Immature, Jealous Assholes!

Sorry, she told me about stories being sunk on purpose but had not suffered it herself except in the contest sweeps. Now that I see it with my own eyes I am furious on her behalf.

Keep praying and holding the light for her, please.

Sincerely,
Odessa

Don't worry, Odessa. The scores will come back up. It may have been recent sweeps that brought them down. It's just something we all deal with.

Give her hand a squeeze for me.
 
Odessa,

I have recently gone through a health crisis in my family. My ex suffered a brain tumor and subsequent operation this last March. It was cancerous and he has endured six weeks of radiation therapy 5 days a week over an hour away with me as driver, nurse, dietician, therapist, you name it. I am the closest relative even though no longer involved romantically. Now he is on chemotherapy and will not be able to drive for a year. But he is alive and conscious, thank God.

During all this, it is normal to want to do something, anything to ease the pain, but there is sometimes very little we can do but pray. It is here that faith plays the major role. I do not attend church but believe strongly in "the higher self" and guardian angels.

Christabel's higher self is working with her guardian angels and the doctors to bring her back in one piece. Hospitals are hard to take for it is a place for the infirmed. Even though we want to stay there every moment, we are human, we must eat, sleep and try to relax to support our own bodies. It is really a good thing that hospitals make you go home once in a while even if it is just to pet your kitty. When someone we love is hurting, it seems selfish to think of one's own needs, but this is mandatory. Once out of the hospital, the patient needs more support and assistance than ever.

Allow your worry to subside and know that all is working towards the purposeful good even if it is hard to see at this time. Christabel has so many people pulling for her that who the heck cares where her stories are in the polls. As a person, she is at the top, always.\

Odessa, please take care of yourself and get some rest. I pray for you, Christabel and all involved including her children, her fiance, her doctors and even her ex.

I am sorry to hear of your tribulations in the health sector. You seem to be the hero he needed and still needs. For that may all blessings fall like flowers to your lap.

You are right. I am scared for her and yes, I am too tired today to be truly rational. She believes in angels, and guides, and spirits and all of it. She paints them if you didn't know. I have been petting her three kitties everyday that I have been here. Her big black boy just flops onto her pillow and talks to me. Her sleek princess has taken up roost behind her cooktop, and cries when I walk into the room. Her champagne saber tooth, bit me twice before sitting next to me on the couch while I tried to catch up on her hundreds of medical bills. They miss her, I miss her and I cannot help but be afraid today.

My beliefs are complex, but yes the higher self or soul self is always in contact with those who have ascended hgher than we have. I have to believe that she is off cavorting with them while her body tries to heal and as somebody put it "reboot". If only regaining good health were as simple as turning it off and on! Its just damn hard sometimes. I will post some of her paintings in a moment. Then I must pack the car and head home in three-day weekend traffic.

Thank you everyone for everything. I will let you all know as I can what her progress or lack thereof is over the week. My apologies in advance if its late in the day.

With warmest and sincere regard,
Odessa Dam Bee
 
Now I regret not coming to Lit more often lately. Christa...I absolutely love and miss you right now, especially our crazy and retarded phone conversations. I hate being so close and not being able to see you. I wish there was something else I could do...but I can't. I'll send out my strongest prayers for you and the kids and the fiance.

:heart:
 
Keep fighting Christa. Let your angels and spirits lead you safely back to Odessa and your Lit friends. :kiss::rose:
 
Bump.

Odessa is now off at work and (I'll wager) hating that she actually has to be there instead of at the hospital.

Many hugs, Odessa!

John
 
Odessa,

Thank you for posting the pictures of angels that Christabel drew. They are truly lovely and reflect her gentle spirit.

I think my main angel is a forceful male like Michael. Or am I confusing this energy with my past life as a gunfighter. I am not sure.

My prayers are with you all.

Allard
 
Evening again

Not much has changed. Difficult getting focused at work even if it was a slow day. With the new heart medications she doesn't seem to be having anymore issues with her heart. Thank you God!

You're welcome Allard. I have her version of Michael that I will show below. All of her paintings are watercolor with no underdrawing. She doesn't draw her paintings first. Silly woman to think that made her less of an artist. Christabel didn't consider herself a painter, but her angels are singular and beautiful. She had started experiementing with painting dragons in watercolor and the three she has done are amazing. I wish I could scan them for you all to see.

Thank you again for keeping this alive while I attend to my own life and pull for hers. I am sure she will be shocked at the outpouring of well wishes and prayers for a return to health. I am more than touched myself.

Sincerely and warmly,
Odessa

Odessa, what specifically are they giving her for her heart? The Babe's professional specialities include medical testimony, so I'd be glad to hear what she's being given. It doesn't mean beans one way or another, of course, but I'd like to know so I can have a better idea of what's been happening with her.
 
I don't really know. She is allergic to verapamil is what I do know. I'll see if I can get a list of her medications. It just shouldn't be this hard. I swear, that girl, so strong and healthy looked like nothing could take her, but lordy, when she goes down she goes down hard. She never did do anything in half measures.

At least I can still smile about her.

It's been a long day and a longer few days. I am heading back up to the hospital tomorrow afternoon, then won't be able to see her until thursday. Keep those prayers going, okay? It's really not good that she has been under this long, but who are we to argue with the needs of her body? I'm just going to go argue with her angels for awhile.

Warmest,
Odessa

We can do that. Sure!

Hugs, Odessa. TTYS!

Every day I think about you Christabel and every day I pray for you, I pray for you hard, with tears in my eyes. :rose:
