I received a private email from Kaarien this morning and she has asked me to inform all her friends that she "has pericarditis..and cardiac tamponade, and is very ill". Kaarien wanted me to tell you that she won't be able to spend much time on BT. She "misses you all".

More tests are coming, and they will attack the problem this week.

Thank you.

Thanks Jerry for this little life line to Kaarien.

Sorry guys, I can only say this in Dutch but I'll try to translate it for you.

Kaarien: Jouw licht schijnt nog te fel. Jouw kracht is nog te sterk. Jouw werk is nog niet af. Weet dat iedereen die jouw licht gezien en jouw kracht gevoeld heeft, je nu met alles wat er tot beschikking staat ondersteunen. Onze gedachten en gebeden zijn met je. Put vrijelijk licht en kracht daaruit, zoveel als je nodig hebt. Ik ben er zeker van dat de mogelijkheid gevonden word om je in de gelegenheid te stellen je werk hier af te maken.

Okay, translation.

Kaarien: Your light still shines to bright. Your power is still to strong. Your job is not yet done. Know that everybody who saw your light and felt your power will support you will all their might. Our thoughts and payers are with you. Use freely all the light and power offered to you, as much as you need. I am sure , a possibility will be found for you to have the opportunity to finish your work here.

Thanks everybody for all your effort to stay with Kaarien.
Don't stop! :-))))))))))))

Kaarien, I was reading the other thread and saw the beautiful pic of you & Arnold. You are such a gorgeous couple!!:-)
Well, now I read this and I am crying...Because of WHO you are and how much you care for others. And for your husband who worries about you so much, yet you are so worried about him. You are such a special person!!!
Please know that you can come here anytime and we will be here for you. And if you can't get here, we are still here for you. I will be sending prayers for good health to you. For guidance to your doctors. For your husband and family to be strong for you. And for you, because you deserve the best!!
I wish I had one of those great "hugs" to give you, but I think you'll laugh if I put this one here....
us fighting all the wrong!!
:-)
