[xk] Way OT and Non-Jaguar help needed

Dear fellow XK enthusiasts:

I know this is way off topic and not really appropriate for this list but I
hope that some of you can help.
A ladyfriend of mine, Marjie - whom some of you have met, has a 18 year old
daughter who has Chrones Disease and may need to have her colon removed. Also,
the medication she has been taking has had some very serious and unexpected
side effects, we think there may have been some brain damage, at this point no
one is sure whether it’s temporary or permanent but there certainly has been a
change and the CAT scans and MRIs, unfortunately, bear this out. She has gone
from being a straight “A” student, in orchestra and debate, to literally just
graduating - more due to the generosity and understanding of her teachers than
anything else of recent. A complete transformation in a little over 12 months.
Although her mother has far more strength than anyone I have ever met, as a
single parent she is just beside herself as to what to do. But for the Grace of
God any one of us could be in her place.
My religion tells me that prayers do help so I am asking that those who
believe and/or observe remember some little girl in Iowa named Jenna in their
prayers. Those who are of a different or have no beliefs then perhaps a few seconds
of silence for “help” for Jenna would be more than greatly appreciated.
PLEASE do not continue this thread online as I know that it has no place on a
car list, it’s just that it hurts so much to see someone suffering like they
are and I have to do my part in asking for help.
Thanking everyone in advance.
And a big thanks to the administrators for not bouncing me off even though
this violates just about every set rule about posting.
