Subject: Re: Any More News? Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 00:36:48 -0500 From: Marc Viau To: Elizabeth Pope References: 1 Hello Elizabeth and Verdie I apologize for the long wait! Well, It's going slowly with his recovery. He went back to work this week. He's the kinda of man that needs to do something, rather then stay in bed. As for him remembering you or us. That's still needs work. You see, he seems to have all the information intact about everything. It's just a little mixed up. He's trying hard. Too hard, i think. He gets frustrated that he can't do lots of things as easily as before. Like stuff at work! He hasn't said much either. Which makes it difficult to help him. He spends an hour or so a day staring at his computer screen. Don't know what he's thinking when he does that. I can't force him to speak. He has to take the first step himself. So, if you look at the big picture, He's doing pretty good. Just don't expect him to ever be like he was before. For better or worse, he's a new person. It's up to him to decide what he'll do with that second chance. All the Letters you sent us are pasted on his walls. He put them there. He reads them often. But, i don't know if he understands any of it. He does Throw us a smirk once in a while. And watches a lot of Comedies on tv. At least his sense of humor is intact. Have to go now. Love, Anik! (Anik is Marc's Sister) Hope these news about Marc brings you comfort. Dear Anik and Marc, This is absolutely beyond belief at Marc's wondrous and speedy recovery!!!! I am so happy that I have tears streaming down my cheeks at this moment as I write to you both!! God HAS answered all of our many prayers and saved Marc and many prayers of Thanksgiving will go up to Him for this True Miracle! We had already been prepared for the fact that Marc will be a different person in many ways, but God has saved this dear man for a reason, as Marc is young and still has many gifts and talents to give the world. Marc I truly love you as a dear, dear friend and if you do not remember us that's all right because we will NEVER forget you and perhaps we can begin a new and better friendship than the one that we had before. I know that it will take time Marc for you to get back to the lovable Vulcan that we knew before, but I know that you are still in there somewhere fighting very hard to come back and you will make! Marc if I could I would send you a truck load of Apple Pie, my friend! (The first thing Marc wrote down after coming out of his coma was: "want apple pie") May God keep blessing you. I hope that you do not mind but I'm going to post your letter at 3D Commune, to give this Great Blessed news to all of his internet friends. All my Love and friendship, Verdie Ingram of Dreamspinner From Dallas, Texas

Yes this is great news. Very happy to know he is OK and recovering and will continue to mention him in my prayers. Thanks for this great news Verdie.

I don't know Marc but this is good news.. Sounds like he has been having a rough time.. The human spirit can be a wonderous thing... :)

Yeah, yeah, yeahhh. This is the best news in this week. I'm really happy to read about that. I have in mind that maybee he would not be exactly the same Marc like before. But what happens, the most important thing for him and his family is that he is in a recovery-phase. Robert

Thank you Helen & Xurge. Viomar is the wonderful artist who made Dreamspinner's Web Site for us and one of The best WitchBlade Poser characters that I've ever seen. Unfortunately his sister took down his Gallery & WebSite when she thought he was dying. He had a brain tumor and was resigned to the fact that he only had a couple of weeks to live. It hit him hard and fast and his sister managed to get a specialist to come from the U.S. to Cnanda to perform the operation and he was in a coma & on life support and wasn't really expected to live through it all, because he died on the operating table, was without oxygen for 20 minutes, but they brought him back and finished the 20 hour operation. The doctors thought that if he lived he would be a vegetable for the rest of his life, but he has fooled everyone and LIVES and is back beginning to work again. All of this happened just a few days before Christmas. So Miracles do happen! Verdie of Dreamspinner

Good luck to him, must be a bit odd being a stranger in your own head.

Yes... good luck to Marc, but it is his SISTER I want to praise here for going that extra mile for her brother. A truly exceptional human being SHE is too!!!

Looks like i need to do another image, and it is good to hear he's still about.but reguardless of whether the operation changed him, I would think that when you peer down the abyss and it sees you , it changes you perspective.

This is really good news I will continue to keep him and his family in my prayers.

Good news:)

This is excellent all around. I do not know him either, but have recently lost someone very close to me and today in fact my beautiful wife fell down and broke her arm on slippery steps. She had been feeling low but I just showed her this thread and she has been practically TRANSFORMED! I wish him all the best and will light a candle. Larry F

Thank You LarryF and your prayers are more than welcome and so sorry to hear about your loss and your dear wife's accident. I am so glad that this brightened her day and when you both get to meet Marc on line one day I know that you will love him as much as we do. Verdie of Dreamspinner
