Brett & Leisa Lowenthal... info/pix - help our friends!-***LATEST UPDATE on pg.10***

[4dmin]

I just got off the phone with Brett and he is doing about as good as you can expect. Leisa had a massive stroke last night after they had dinner. She was sent to Northside Hospital (Sandy Springs). She is currently in a coma and doctors say if she doesn't open her eyes within a week she may not come out of it.

Brett said visiting hours are all day except between 7-9pm. She is in room 17 (ICU). He will be there till 7pm then after 9pm

After reading his previous post:

Thank you everyone, reading all this had me crying again this morning. I am about to head to her work to see what kind of benefits she has because even if she pulls through she will not be able to work again they say, so now the reality of bills (House, car payments, etc) are what also kept me up all night because I dont know how I am going to stay afloat if its just me.

Brett/Leisa are the heart + soul of IA. They have been longtime friends of not only Julio/I but every OG on this board. I want everyone to help anyway they can. I would like for us to start a fund for the family to help them out. If you can't give $, keep them in your thoughts/prayers, if you would like to help out the family in another contribution: food, help around the house, etc. (pm me)

I ask all of you to step up to the plate and help out our friends. Please feel free to share info/pix/stories. Thank you.

If and when you guys set up a fund please let me know so I can make a donation. It won't be a lot but if I can help in any way I will.

Brett and Leisa have always been awesome awesome people to me.. even since I got on IA... Brett and I sometimes have not always seen eye to eye.. but he was always honest and truthful.. some of my fondest memories were back at jocks n jills on wings nights or the Target meets... Paul.. you let me know if you need help with anything and I have already told Brett Im here for him...

[1000cckiller]

If Brett needs some help around the house I am free on sunday.

i hopefully will have a paypal address or mailing address up ASAP. i hopefully will be seeing brett later this evening and i want to know where he would like the fund to go.

[Ran]

Looking forward to the PayPal info.

It may be a bit personal, but how about an address for cards and things?

[Sammich]

due to my circumstances, i can't contribute anything monetarily, but w/o a doubt leisa and brett are always on my mind. leisa is a trooper and i'm more than sure she will pull out of it

[BobbyFresco]

Times like these are when you realize what's important in life...I hope to whatever higher being exists that Leisa pulls through for you and everyone else in her life.

[SixSquared]

My prayers are with you guys... That's so awful.

[Ruiner]

Oh noooo...no no no no no. Brett, I am almost at a loss for words. Both the fiancee and I will keep Leisa in our thoughts and prayers. I came out of my coma and made a miraculous recovery. Hope is not lost. I pray that she does the same. Keep your head up, man.

I saw this pic on her myspace and it to me totally represents them... as long as i've known them they have always been like two little teenagers in love. Leisa has always supported Brett over the years as he dragged her to event to event and she became IA's #1 Girl. Together they are like a dynamic duo... they have a collective post count of approx 90k . They love IA more them Julio/I.




Stay strong Brett we are all thinking about you two and will help you all through this process.

Brett: Paul and I are coming to visit you both tonight. We will do anything we can to support you through this tough time. I know how hurt you are because Paul and I have a relationship much like yours. I can't imagine what you're feeling right now. Love, anger, sadness, fright, confusion, hope... all at once. You have a tremendous support system here on IA - remember you are not alone. Paul and I love you and Leisa very much.

Hey Brett, Leisa is in my prayers. I know I don't come around anymore and you guys probably dont like me as much as you did 2 years ago before all the me and JM stuff happened lol, but I always loved you guys and if you need anything, differences aside, please let me know. I am going through some pretty rough stuff myself right now and already have a long prayer list going, but I assure you Leisa is at the top of that list right now!

[Brett]

thanks-girl

[4dmin]

visiting hours updated (see 1st post)

[Jaimecbr900]

Anyone who is interested in helping out, please PM either Paul or myself. We're going to try and keep a list ourselves of those people that want to volunteer to help. Brett is going to need not only our prayers, but he and Leisa are going to need us to support them. If you are willing to step up and help, especially financially, this is the time to do it. Both of them would do it for you without question.

If you can't help financially, there are quite a few other things that are probably going to be available for you to do, so please contact either Paul or myself via PM to put your name in the hat.

Please keep both in your thoughts and prayers regardless.

Thank you.

Like most have said, I'm really almost at a loss of words! You guys always seemed so happy together and I'm sure she will pull through!! Stay strong and hang in there Brett!

[DJ Maestro]

Brett, I am so very sorry to hear about Leisa. I know I am still very much a noob here, but I know already how much she means to IA. I hope with all my heart that she pulls through this. From one old man to another...if you need anything do not hesitate to let me know and I will do everything in my power to help.

You have all if IA behind you buddy.

[coolZero]
