Aramis needs some prayers

Our administrator and friend, Wil Hostman aka Aramis, is having an extremely tough time right now with his wife in the hospital. Details are at the end of the current Chatter thread for his Space:1889 game; since he posted about it there, I don't think he will mind my copying it here.

My wife is in hospital. Blood clot in her leg. Very serious.

Me, I'm bordering on basket case. I'm holding together right now, but I am stressed to tension wire.

And I just remembered: Always clear the inhaler FIRST.

I'm having massive asthma issues due to wildfires.

Prayers are appreciated.

Ben died because he had a blood clot that caused an aneurism in the brainstem (or so I've been told by his mom). This is dangerously similar. I'm about to retreat into some TV, and then call it a night.


He and his wife could really use your prayers right now, or good vibes or good thoughts if you are not the praying kind.

No, I don't mind at all.

I'll note that she's in for a blood clot, which ballooned her leg. She's got flow, so it's not likely to lose the leg, but it's in a major vein. Reminds me - I need to tell Marc.

Being a Licensed Southern Baptist minister (working with a non-denominational church) Prayer is kind of what I do daily.
I'll ask God to bless Wil's wife with healing according to his will and for Wil to also be given peace and comfort as he goes through this tough time with his wife.
 
I just woke up - getting the teen off to summer school - I'll be heading to the hospital shortly. For those who don't know, if you look in the credits of MGT , you'll find both my wife Stephanie and our friend and former roommate, Ben Smith. Both were also in my playtest groups for T20 and EABA.

Steph coming on the heels of Ben's death is a major fright check, and to be blunt, I'm not handling it well. The outpouring of support really means a lot to me.
 
I'll you and your wife to my prayers Aramis, I had heard about the Alaska fire and was already praying for your safety.

The nearest fires are almost a hundred miles away. The smoke and dust is an issue, but the fires, not directly.

Am at the hospital. Steph's in reasonably good (but drowsy) spirits. No news, but the leg looks better.
 
I always feel awkward trying to express my sympathies over the Internet. I feel so helpless. But for what it's worth, I wish you and your wife all the best and hope she has a speedy and complete recovery.

Dear God, hang in there Aramis. My prayers are with you and your wife. My family will be praying for you and yours tonight.
