I'm so sorry, she will deff. be in my prayers and I'll put her on the prayer list at chruch Sunday...... If I wasn't in Macon I'd help with whatever I could.... I'm not financial able to give money at the moment, but no doubt Brett and Leisa will be in my prayers.
OMG Brett I am so sorry to hear about this. A friend of mine called just a little while ago and told me what had happened and since I don't have another way to contact you really, I thought I would come on here and give you my condolences and to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and Leisa and your family. Please take care of yourself and we're all thinking and praying for you.
Hope everything is goin' ok which I'm sure it is..
I haven't been on IA in a couple of days and someone told me about all this at the sonic meet. I was like What ? I was confused.. totally like you are kidding?
Brett, I will have you guys in my mind... I'm shocked/chocked at words..
Time like these are tough.. but everything will be great... Leasa will pull through all these and everything back to normal...
You guys been my people for almost 8 years now!! Been a big part of this community, big part of these industry ... You guys are the BOMB!!!
Keep ya head up !
myself and a few others just left the hospital, and while some of us cant afford to financially help them, our support helps more than you will ever know. true friends are what this couple needs right now, and i must say i was impressed with who all came out. some og's and some not so og's... it makes things so much easier for them when they see how much support they have.
LEISA, WE LOVE YOU GIRL! we'll see your smiling face kicking brett's ass again soon enough! hang in there!
brett, you know the digits. dont hesitate to use them.
To all of you who came out, THANK YOU!!! YOU ALL MEAN THE WORLD TO ME
To those of you who I just found out have sent donations to my Paypal to help me keep things going while she is gone, You are a blessing and I want to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart, this was TOTALLY unexpected

Brett, I just donated via paypal. I really really wish I could afford to give more, but I suppose every bit helps. My heart aches for you man, but I'm confident that things are gonna be alright. I've unfortunately never had the pleasure to meet either you or Leisa, but I feel almost as if I know you well just from interacting with you here on the forums. You're as good as family, as far as I'm concerned.
Thanks guys!!! I still feel so wierd accepting any type of donations from people because I am not one to ask for things, But with her not able to work and just my check for a while anything helps I guess, as much as I hate to even let people help us.
Don't worry about it brett people want to make sure you have your mind on leisa and not burdened by everyday issues. IA is full of great people. It has never cease to amaze me the friendships and contacts that are made through a silly online forum. It was nice seeing everyone last night and to see people come together in some members time of need. It makes me proud to say i'm apart of IA.Quote:

Brett we are going to try to come back maybe sunday to see her. I urge anyone who knows Brett/Leisa to take trip to the hospital to see Leisa and talk to her. Last night Kate and I seemed to think she was responding to us when we talked. You never know 1 person's voice could trigger something amazing :goodjob:.
I know it has been a while since I have been around but I heard the news and wanted to get on. Brett I am so sorry to hear about everything. Leisa is such an amazing woman. I always looked at her as the heart of Unique Creations. Stay strong and know that so many people love and care for her. I am planning on going to the hospital sometime today to see her. If you need anything Brett let me know, I am here for you.
Brett,
The entire team is devistated by this. We're still all here for you should you need us. Leisa is in our thoughts and prayers. But you stay strong buddy. Both of you are still very much a part of Elite and we wilol do what we can to help.
Brett it broke my heart last night that I wasn't able to go in and see her, but I am very proud of how strong you are being. Leisa needs you to be strong for her right now. You mentioned that you didn't know what you believe anymore b/c you want Leisa here and God doesn't want her as much as you... Keep your faith strong, and don't lose it. People are praying for you and that is what will pull her through. She will fight, she is a fiesty thing... You guys mean so much to me and I will be donating every other week even if it's only $5!!! I will give what I can when I can. If you need anything, you have my number, please do not hesitate to ask...
Max and I will be there again tonight and throughout the weekend and into next week without a doubt... You have plenty of support and lots of prayers... I love you both so so much.
I heard Max was being a ham last night.......how surprising!!!!:lmfao: ;)Quote:

Please keep us posted on the changes you are seeing, and hearing from the doctors and when needs arise, let your friends here know!
Latest update:
Last night, Leisa responded to our conversation....(don't yall wish yall knew what she and I talked about.....;) ). So much so, that she had to be sedated a little to bring her heart beat, which went from 98 to 108, back down and make her relax. We're taking that as a "good" sign. She had a little swelling on her brain, which was some cause of concern, but they started medication to control that right away. By the time we left, it was back down to the acceptable level. Again, "good" news.
This morning, situation was relatively unchanged, which again is better than the alternative. They did discover a slightly elevated level of something in her kidneys, but the results of that will not be in until later this afternoon. I don't think this is cause to be alarmed right now either, but we'll know for sure when the results come in later today.
She is relaxed and still responding to certain people. Brett is continuing his bedside vigil and will be there all weekend long. Anyone wanting to visit with him is welcomed to. Please make note of the visiting hours and gauge accordingly.
Prayers are STILL NEEDED, so let's keep that going. Financial help is STILL NEEDED, so keep that coming too. Overall support has been fantastic, so KEEP THAT COMING TOO.
I'll keep everyone updated. :goodjob:
PRAYERS, PRAYERS, PRAYERS.
You too Paul... Thanks.;)Quote:

Please don’t hesitate to give me a ring if you need anything.
Jamie please keep the updates coming. Eddie thanks for the call…

Latest update:
Ms. Leisa's condition hasn't changed, which again is rather "good" news, but something really cool happened today.......
A nurse was trying to apply something to the inside of her mouth, and Leisa lifted up her arm and tried to swat it away!!!!!:cheers: :bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: :bump: :super: :super: :super: So that is awesome news!!!!!
Leisa tried to pimp slap the nurse........WORD!!!!!
The prayers and thoughts are working folks. Keep it up.
I'll keep yall updated. :goodjob:
:cheers: good deal
I dont know how I missed this thread and news until now. :???:
Regardless, best wishes and prayers for speedy recovery are being sent.
Mrs Metalman is an experienced nurse, and as such has cared for a goodly number of stroke patients. Please know, there is great hope. What seems quite terrible at first often resolves itself greatly with time. The human brain is a remarkable machine.
Here's wishing the absloute very best to Brett & Leisa.
i've been reading this thread but dont know what to say...
i dont know you all except the casual jokes on IA i get to know you a little, i know all to well how gloomy times like these can be, stay strong friend. we are all here for you.
Thank you so much everyone for everything
I'm extremely sorry to hear about that. I hope Leisa has a speedy recovery and goodluck to you and your family Brett.
Thank you so much
your IA family loves both of yall, brett :D

I am up and back in the waiting room, from 7am-9am I have to leave the room. She had a pretty stable night, I slpet in the room. She has been running a slight fever all night and has not really given me any more movements when I talk to her, which is kind of depressing to me, becuase I take her hand movements as signs she hears me, But I am trying to not let that affect me. About 4am when they were putting a new tube in her mouth they had to hold her right arm and leg down because she was trying to fight them doing it, I dont know how much of that is reflex or how much is her just showing she doesnt like what they are doing. I didnt get any sleep, The room was literally like a cooler because of her fever so I was freezing all night and a few times I have to leave the room while to do routine things through the nigjht.
She is stable still, so thats all I can really say.... we are on day #3 now, I do not uslally pray, but last night I begged for her to be brought back to me.... I know you all care so much, but you need to understand.... if she does not pull through and she gives up the fight or her brain does not let her come back..... I will be lost in this world, she is what gives me reason to even try to be a better man every day of my life, and to want to be on this earth... without her.... What is my reason for being?
Thank you ALL for everything, some of you I saw sent Paypal donations, and you all are amazing..... It does help ease my mind on that front and allows me to focus it on Leisa 100%.
To those of you who have come out, and I wouild name names but I would feel like complete sh*t if I missed someone when I do, so just know, YOU ALL are amazing to me, some each night have stayed here with me till midnight (Last night till almost 1am when I had to finally go back to her room and attempt to get some sleep)
To those of you praying and spreading the word for others to pray, THANK YOU as well, that is just as important as anything else and means just as much.
IA has really rallied behind Leisa and behind me to keep me strong for her, It is hard, I wont lie... I have not had a day since Wednesday night when she came in that I have not cried atleast 12 times or more...... Leisa is my everyting.....
Baby... you have to come home.... Please......
Brett.
We've never met, but you're an inspiration as a husband and a man. I think you are showing a lot of people here what it takes to truly love someone and to step up and make the necessary sacrifices.
IA: Pay attention, this is how its done.
I'll continue to pray for y'all, without end.
Thank you, I am not trying to seem like I am a perfect husband, I am FAR from it, I have taken Leisa for granted over the years like we all do with loved ones, assuming they will be there the next day, PLEASE realize who you all have in your lives and dont make that mistake. I am not begging for a second chance to be a perfect man for her,
