Subject: Re: Lizz

Dear friends,

Wasn't sure if any of you had seen this, but Graham Schmidt shared with me a message he received from Lizz's sister. Not really any information in it beyond what's been communicated here, but I thought friends of Lizz might like to see it anyway.

Robert

My Dear Friend(Lizz's friend to be exact),

I am Lizz's sister Alison. There is so much love being sent her way, she is so lucky to have you in her life. I want to take the time to thank you for the love you are sending this way be it across the states or from across the pond. Keep all those positive vibes coming this way, I know that all this love is helping Lizz recover that much faster, and boy do we all want that.

Lizz is in the hospital in a coma. Mom and I are with her in ABQ, NM. We think that she had a low blood sugar, which may have caused a seizure. When the paramedics found her, she was unconscious, barely breathing and hypothermic. Based on the tests the doctors seem to think that the biggest issue we have to deal with is anoxia which is a lack of oxygen to the brain which must have happened before the ems got to her house.

We are taking things one day at a time. I will be than willing to answer whatever questions I can. I know that being here and not able to do anything is difficult, I can only assume that it is just as frustrating being far away. Believe me, sending all the love is helping, keep it up!!

Much Love,
Alison
