OUT OF CHARACTER:

UPDATE September 29, 2006 - Stacy is out of the coma, at home, and is recovering. She contacted several people in the Realm via pigeons.

One of the players in our community has come down with a serious illness.

Stacy (the player behind Kyrsten Elmwood) came down with West Nile Virus three weeks ago and is in a coma. Her family says her prognosis is unknown at this point.

Her character in UO and the PaxLair Community is Kyrsten Elmwood of the PaxLair Knights [PxK] and has been in UO for 8 years. We have always seen her very helpful to us all, very friendly, and a great companion.

We hope she recovers soon and all our prayers could help make a difference.

You may post something on the UO Stratics Chesapeake Thread here: http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/uo/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=6846902

Anyone wishing to send flowers or specific well wishes, work through me or Gareth only please. Do not try to send funds. Things are covered. I will keep everyone informed of her condition.

Thank you.

Player behind Winfield, Mayor of PaxLair
