Posted by khar on twitter tonight.

I just want to say thanks to everyone for all of the love this past week. I know Benito has kept you updated and I am grateful he took the effort so those of you on here who truly do care for me didn’t worry. I’m home from the hospital now, I’m still sick but I’m getting better and I’m dealing with what has happened to us the best I can. I’m taking it minute by minute because I don't know any other way to do it and it’s fucking hard, but nothing can change it. I just have to learn to live with it and I’m trying to figure out how to do that.

I’m stunned and overwhelmed at all of the kind messages I’ve come back to on twitter and twilighted and the blog. I wish I could respond to everyone but it’s just not possible. It means a lot to me that so many people care about us and thanks to everyone who has shared their own stories of losses with me. I want to hug all of you because no one should have to go through this.

So yeah, thank you from the bottom of my heart, all of you. And I can’t thank my three friends who played go-to for Ben enough. I love you girls so much and I'm not really a mushy 'ily' kind of girl so I hope you know I really mean that. I don’t know when I’ll be up to really coming back around and writing again so everyone who’s anxious for an EP update will have to be patient with me. I promise it’ll be finished, I just can’t halfass it and blow it when it’s come this far.

I hope you had a Blessed Samhain/Happy Halloween.

Thursday evening update.

Hi everyone,

We would like to thank you for the outpouring of sympathy and condolences for kharizzmatik and SuperDotato. Thank you for helping to spread the word about this blog. We'd like to ask again that you please not contact either of them via DM, PM, @ replies or email.

At this time, what we know is that khar is still in the hospital. As long as her fever does not spike again, she will be released tomorrow evening.http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=1191950387081753133

A lot of you have asked what you can do for Khar and Ben. At this time, we ask that you leave well wishes, condolences, notes of encouragement, etc. here, on this blog. This will allow Khar and Ben to read them at their leisure with the added benefit of being located in one place.

We've also been overwhelmed with follow requests on Twitter. Rest assured that we will get to them, but please give us time. We're trying to take care of our friend and would appreciate it if you'd put any tributes, requests to send cards or flowers or anything on the back burner for now.

Again, we appreciate everyone's concern and cooperation in this delicate matter. Khar's health and well being is first and foremost.

We cannot stress this enough - at this time, please leave your well wishes and condolences here or on the Twilighted thread. Again, we respectfully ask that you not DM, PM, @ reply or email Khar or Ben.

Update on Kharizzmatik

Hello Ladies,

We have been asked by @SuperDotato to post an update on @kharizzmatik. In order to preserve their privacy, this will be brief, while answering some questions but not all. First, Kharizzmatik is currently in hospital and will be there for an unspecified time. She is being treated for symptoms associated with the Swine Flu. As many of you are aware, swine flu is a very dangerous, contagious disease that can be debilitating for its victims. Those at the greatest risk are small children and expectant mothers. At this juncture, we will not discuss the prognosis other than to say that she is in hospital and being treated accordingly. Kharizzmatik has suffered a miscarriage as a result of the Swine Flu diagnosis. No further information will be shared or given at this time.

Each of us understands that you all have questions, that you are concerned. Your concern is appreciated and is well received. However, concern can not usurp the need for privacy at this difficult time. Therefore, on behalf of @SuperDotato, we ask that you please not contact him at this time. While he is overwhelmed by the outpouring of affection toward Khar, his focus must be on her. The abundance of tweets prevents him from informing those closest to Khar, hence any updates are delayed. We are asking, at the behest of @SuperDotato and @kharizzmatik that you please do not contact either until further notice. Allow them this time to focus on recovery and healing. Respect their privacy.

Many of you have inquired about the status of EP. At this time, it will be on hiatus indefinitely in light of the circumstances. Please do not PM, e-mail or DM Kharizzmatik requesting to know when an update will be posted. If you hear of someone inquiring of said update, direct them to this post or inform them of the current state of events. EP will be completed, but allow for this time for the author. Again, allow us to reiterate that we will not be answering your questions. @SuperDotato will not be answering any questions beyond a generalized update. Please do not ask. Your curiosity as to the well-being of kharizzmatik is welcomed, however please use caution and wisdom. Behave as if this were you or your loved one.

We appreciate your thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time, and we appreciate your understanding. We will update you on her condition as we can.

Thank you,

NanMcCullen, jadedandboring, Hattieb99, and SuperDotato.
