Ar-Isildur Update
Posted By: SilverBrin****of WP <silverbrin1@yahoo.com>Date: 2/13/03 3:57 p.m.

I want to apologize for my lack of updates. Things have been hectic. I was hoping Brain (Ar-Isildur) would be able to come on and thank all of you himself. Unfortunately he can not at the moment, so I wish to say: thank you all for your gifts, cards, emails, and prayers. Tirion and I have been visiting Brian in the hospital every weekend we can. He has stacks of printed out emails and cards. There are signed posters, stuffed animals, and drawings. He has love in every material form you can name. Bungie even came through with an amazing “care package” of their own.

More importantly, Brian appreciates your thoughts and prayers. He and his family have been blown away by the support. The first week the love poured in; Brian was inspired to fight even harder against his new batch of tumors. His body was making an incredible and improbable come back that his family attributed to all of the good thoughts and prayers. He was able to come home for a brief time. He showed me some of the cards and gifts he had received and began crying. “I’ve just got to live...look at all this love” he said. “It just wouldn’t be fair”.

The doctors are not confident in Brian making a full recovery and have let him decide what he wants to do. Brian said “I am going to fight”. In the hospital he lays now, fighting harder than ever. He and his family will not lose hope until the very end. In these last visits I have made; he has been in pain and has had trouble breathing. The cancer continues to spread and the doctors are trying to contain it with radiation. Through all of this, his mind has remained an impenetrable fortress of hope and courage. His ceaseless strength and optimism are truly inspiring. No matter where the cancer spreads, or how much bone it takes, his unyielding spirit can not and will not be broken. Much of this is thanks to your altruism.

Today I received an email that Brian’s blood pressure has dropped dangerously low and that the doctors are having trouble raising it. Brian is in a delicate state now. His body is weak from fighting and he is very susceptible to infection. The cancer also continues to spread. I have no more information, but it would seem as though he has reached the critical stage of this three year battle. Please think good thoughts and/or send your prayers to Brian and his family as his fate is decided in the coming days. Thank you for being patient with me.
