Forget about the wanker who did this to her - Does BR have adequate insurance to make sure she gets all the very best treatment . Im sure (i could be wrong ) i remember her saying that her insurance ran out because hubby had lost his job - is there anything we can do to help if thats the case.

Let me know what we decide to do. BR has been a rock for me even though she has been going through hell with Matt. She is a wonderful lady! Ive got the address to her mom's as well. SO Flop doesnt get overloaded with PM's you guys can get me too.

Im sending a care package this evening for the family and some stuff for BR. Let me know if you guys have any ideas for the package.

Im still praying that God holds BR and the family in his hands...

thhis just sucks!!!!

An address has been posted for her, but Not Her last name. Can that be provided?

That report from her mom is very scary....I wish they'd make that drunk driver spend every day at her bedside in the hospital!

Oh LU I think I love ya darling, good job, I shopped with Jr Minks last nite for a card for BR it's very girlie and pink says "pedicure? Manicure? I wish every cure was this easy."

I had tears in my eyes this morning however reading the update Bloody hell it's tragic reading that she is back in ICU.

Thank you all for your love and support and prayers. Keep it coming, and between me and floppy we'll keep everyone up to speed.

Oh Erinna Blessings to you and all your family this is such a horrific time. I also have sent out my addy for anyone who wanted to get cards to her, I will forward everything I get to her home addy but it seems we have loads of address's floating around out there. We have all bases covered now we just have to send the power of our good thougts to BR and wish her a speedy and full recovery.

Huggs to you, your family, and bullet and his family as well.

In a PM, but not here.

If you are sending it to her Mom's address, you don't need a last

name. "Criss C/O" etc. will do just fine.

Got to watch the privacy stuff, folks. You never know, sad to say

but you just don't.

Life is fragile.

I keep thinking about all the hate everywhere, all the killing. If we only all had the opportunity to sit and talk, break bread and drink with eachother. Wouldnt it be different then ? If your enemy was in your home sharing a meal with you. Would he still be your enemy ? Would he feel differently ? Would he still want you dead ?

One day Nomad....one day....maybe not in OUR lifetime, but I have faith in the human race and one day when we're sitting in whatever heaven we believe in, we'll look down at the peace on Earth and say to each ....we knew it would all work out...:-4

At 72 hours they should have a pretty good idea of all the injuries.. they treat the immediate issues and as time goes past and more tests are performed, others are coming to light.

Mom is heading out to get some conditioner to try and help her keep her hair... it's matting and the nurses are concerned.. so mom has something to occupy her this afternoon and evening

Matt's sister checked with their attorney about getting him to her. It can be done but family will have to pay for escorts and travel. I told mom to have his sister find out what we need and to let me know. Anyone interested in this aspect pm me and we will go private emails and communication on this item.

I've been awake since a little after 3 a.m. my time thinking about her...

I hurt for her I really do.

Tell mom to braid her hair, it helps.

More and more beams.

oh goodness! :-1 I'm continuing to pray for Criss and her family....

it's good news though, that it is possible for Matt to go to her...

CARLA · Post by **CARLA** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 10:04 am

Floppy there is dry shampoo that can be used. They can also arrange for a hairdresser to come to the hospital and take care of her hair, it is done all the time they may have someone they can reccommend for her mom.

Oh good a visit from Matt might be just what she needs. I know it will help his state of mind as well.

She is in a battle right now so all our prayers will help... :-4 I can think of nothing else either..

Sheryl · Post by **Sheryl** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 10:28 am

I just keep saying prayers over and over again for Br, Bullet, and the family. This is so awful for all of them. I just want to go and give BR hug after hug and tell her to stay strong and keep fighting. I keep thinking bout the saying "God never gives us more than we can handle", but lately I just keep wondering why this on top of all the other problems she has. But I know BR is a fighter, guess that's why I've always pictured her some sort of warrior Princess in my head.

I may not know BR in the flesh, but I've come to love her like a sister on these boards. I'm positive I'm not the only one either.

He's going to need all the support he can get - probably more so than anyone bar Criss herself.

Keep him in your thoughts.

Get well soon BR, we're all thinking of you and praying for you and hoping you'll be back here with us VERY soon!

Big gentle hugs to you and everyone with you. I wish we could all crowd around your bedside and show you how much we all care.

But I do believe it and I believe in her and her strength. I
