Hey everyone,
I just got back from my day at UCSF moffit hospital and as most of you know Chanel is currently in the ICU. As one of Chanel's friends I will report to you all now as to Chanel's current condition and what has
occurred and what will also happen.

Chanel is in currently in critical condition and the current scenario looks pretty bleak. However, we all still maintain hope that she can pull through and fight back from this. Chanel suffered two major heart attacks on Sunday and during the operation to stabilize and correct her heart problems she also suffered a stroke. There is extensive damage to her heart and brain currently, and her stability has fluctuated through out the day in which currently she is unconscious. There has been swelling in the brain and the left hemisphere is, as far as the doctors can tell, has suffered damaged.

Over the course of tonight they will conduct further tests to see if Chanel can breathe without the use of a breathing apparatus machine and also use a radioactive isotope tracer to track blood movement throughout her brain to see if there is still blood getting through. Tomorrow they should have a clear indication on how much damage there possibly is and if it can be recoverable. We all wish that Chanel will come through this with everything she has.

As her friends needless to say we all wish our deepest hopes that she will recover. Her strength for living has always come from her friends and now she needs that strength more than ever. So by either prayer, good and warm thoughts, a projected Jedi healing trance... it doesn't matter, let's all send her our power now, more than ever. I will write again tomorrow after I go back tomorrow and know more. May the Force and the love and support of all of us be with Chanel.

I hope everyone doesn't mind that I copied and pasted this. I've been making the same kind of announcment all night long and it's wearing on me. Thanks everyone.

Oh also the visiting for Chanel at UCSF goes as follows. They were allowing two people to see her at a time. Visiting hours are from 6am-9pm (sorry I told some of you 5pm, my memory is totally shocked and failing currently.) After 9pm you can still visit but would have to come in through a special enterance and have a special badge from the front desk. I'm sure Chanel would love to have her friends visit so feel free to come by even for a little while and offer support.

Also another thing is that they do not allow flowers in the ICU. I assume it's due to biological pathogens or possible allegies to pollen. Regardless other things like teddy bears, any pictures would like to share, balloons, cards, and things like that are fine.

I hope you don't mind, I'll post this information on the fanforce City Rep forum. My thought on this is that the more people praying for her, the better.

Would someone be willing to get the address of the hospital or a 'Care of' address so members of our virtual family can send cards and what not?

Thanks!

The SDSWS wants to help raise money for Chanel's daughter's college fund. We are going to make decals of the picture below and sell them for $5. They can be put on the shoulder bells of armor, or just about anywhere. All money raised would go into the college fund or wherever Chanel's family thinks is best. What do you guys think?

It's hard to put into words how we all feel.

Chanel was a great inspiration and her energy still surrounds us all.

As much as we hoped it would not lead to this, I know this was perhaps the best thing Chanel, so she would not suffer.

While I only had the honor of a few brief encounters and meetings with Chanel, I could tell she was a special person and was genuine through and through.

I pray for her and her family at this time...

This is truly a sad day...my sister and I are heartbroken to hear the news of her passing. We have been talking about the times that we spent with her and how sweet she was. I wish I could have spent more time with her. But she is in a better place right now and she will always be with us and watching down on us. Were gonna miss you Chanel!
