I have just heard that our forum pal jcser - her of the acute power of observation, the quick wit, and the devotion to all things musical - has been in a bad road traffic accident in her home town of Omaha. From what I hear, ITU, life support, etc needed, so a v serious accident indeed. I gather that she is improving but still a way to go. I'm late to hear the news, and prob a bit behind the news, but thought that Jacki would appreciate the prayers and best wishes of her AMIT forum pals. Let's give them to her!
-
I am so sorry to hear this terrible news about Jacki. She will be in my thoughts and prayers and I hope she will make a full recovery. Thank you for letting us know about this, Arthur. :(
-
oh nooo! terrible news! I don't pray but I'm thinking of her and hope for a speedy recovery!
-
If you wish to send her a get-well card, the address is this:
Jacki Cser
Room 3116
Creighton University Medical Center
601 N. 30th Street
Omaha, Nebraska 68131
USA
I called the hospital and they said she is in intensive care. When she is moved into a room, their mail room will get any cards to her there....
My prayers are for her speedy recovery.
-
Arthur and Gayle thank you for posting this!
Because Jacki wasn't on Facebook for a little while, I decided to go to her page and see what was going on. It was a shock to read this message from a friend of her:
Quote: "Dave - Couldn't find the info on Jacki but heard from Kristin Schlicht who heard from Jacki's friend that is was an auto accident and she was on her way to work - broken leg, ruprured spleen, broken ribs and lacertions on her face. She is in Creighton Medical Center in Omaha NE."
I posted immediately a message at Jacki's page today and hope her friend can tell more about the condition.
Lucky I see that Gayle called the hospital today and I hope she can keep us information about the situation! This is terrible news and makes me feel sad! Jacki is such a sweetheart!
Just like others, I will sent tomorrow a beautiful card, so she knows she is in our thoughts!
Fieneke
-
Thanks for the information, Gayle. A card will be winging it's way asap!
-
Read it few minutes ago on facebook i'm so sad for her !!
Really hope she'll get well soon !
Love to you jacki
-
A friend of Jacki's named Rebecca is posting updates on her condition via Facebook. Her last update was on Thursday, so I hope we hear more within the next day or so...
Apparently, she's got pneumonia, is on a ventilator and in an induced medical coma.
-
Terrible, terrible news. I'm praying and crossing everything I've got.
-
Oh, gosh, Gayle. That is awful.
My prayers to Jacki.
-
Oh I really feel sad, bad things sometimes just happen and we just can't do anything about it , our prayers and thoughts are with you Jackie.
-
This is terrible news. :'(
I had the honour of meeting Jacki last year. She travelled all the way from the US to the UK, just to attend mine and Ingrid's 40th Birthday Party.
She is one of the most amazing people i have ever met.
I wish her all the best, and a very speedy recovery.
Cheers BBB
-
As Arthur suggested me, i'm now making a Get Lucky/ well soon card for JAcki It would be nice that every body sign it and then we could forward it on her email or maybe print it and send to her... as you 'll wish...
Sending Flowers is a great Idea ! i'll open another topic their you could post your messages to Jacki and i'll pst on the card... and then we'll see what u want to do!
-
Count me in. We should all act individually if we wish, but a group response seems v poweful and appropriate too.
-
We need to wait on sending any flowers. I'm not sure she could have them in the ICU....

Just got an email from a friend of Jacki .
--------------------
Re : About Jacki Cser
She is up at Creighton Univ. Hospital. Not sure on the timeline yet but I KNOW she woiuld appreciate any cards or other items. Also no flowers please due to the pnuemonia.
Thanks!
Adam
not positive on the room # either.

Here are some news from a friend of Jacki
She's awake! They took her out of sedation to see how her body would react. So far, so good, although she is very uncomfortable and frustrated, as she still has the breathing tube in. Her blood pressure has improved...pneumonia slightly, slightly better. Her fever dropped for awhile, but is back up again. They will determine whether or not to keep her awake within the next day or so. The Dr's are asking for no visitors until further notice, as she is extremely suspectible to infection right now, and also is frustrated that she can't talk to people while they are there. I willl update again when that changes. Hope you all have a great 4th of July
-
This is really terrible and I hope she gets better soon. Always remember Jacki as being a friendly person over the interwebs...
-
Jacki's room number is 3116
-
A card is on the way. Thanks, Gayle, for the address.
-
Thank you dear friends for this information again!
Gayle can you modify your post with the address of the hospital and put the room number there also? ::)
Fieneke
-
I edited Gayle's post to put the Room Number ;) good idea Fieneke thanks
-
Quote Nelly: "good idea Fieneke thanks"
I need to thank you for editing and also for the beautiful card you make for Jacki!
I got a mail from Jean Allen. She knows Jacki as a teenager and knows her family also. Jacki often visited her house.
She told about Jacki and asked us all to keep Jacki in our prayers.
I will respond that mail and ask Jean if she can keep us informated about the situation. I also will ask for permission to post her mails or a part of her mails, here at the forum, so you all know exactly what is going on.
As soon as I hear from her again, I will let you know.

Thanks for that Fieneke2 I was going to set up a new topic to keep us up to date with Jacki's progress but you have done it here for us - THANKS :) ;)
-
I just heard the bad news last night (thanks for your textmessage Nelly).
I will send her a nice postcard immediately. I think it's nice when we all send a card individually and also the one Nelly made. The more the better. This is so sad, I am so far away from her. And I had (like BBB) the honour to meet her last year on our 40th anniversaryparty.
You are in my mind Jacki, I pray for you and hope you are back with your Knopfler-Knutty-family here as soon as possible. We need you crazy, funny additions here!
Lots of love from me
-
And BPD, sending flowers will be great when she's back in a "normal" hospitalroom. Maybe we can all contribute by paypal to someone in the US who can manage to get the flowers to her.
-
I had a problem with my pc at work & didnt logon over the weekend at home but I hope that she's ok - my dad had his spleen removed 20 odd years ago & is going great guns but he has to watch where he goes ie hospitals because of infections etc but he made a full recovery.
Medical staff & God are good so shes in good hands.

You are welcome Shangri-La. I know you all are as worried as I am!
Jaki's friend Jean Allen responded my mail and gave me permission to post her messages, so you all can read.
Jacki had an auto accident on June 17 - 18. She was on her way to work. She works the night shift at the Omaha police station. The first thing we heard was that there were multiple lacerations to her face, broken ribs, broken leg and ruptured spleen. Since then it has been very frightening for all of us - her friends and family - she was placed in a drug-induced coma for more than a week - and was very, very ill. She is also on a ventilator which breathes for her. She has been in ICU all this time. She developed blood clots in her legs - which they expected and is on a blood thinner. She developed pneumonia and went into sepsis.
Yesterday I spoke to the ICU nurse and she said that Jacki was taken off the drug-induced coma Friday noon and that she had overrode the ventilator three or four times an hour and had her eyes open briefly.
Today she is opening her eyes more often, the ventilator is still in place - I believe it is in her trachea - not her mouth - she still has pneumonia but they think she has beat the sepsis - which is very unusual. But Jacki is a fighter and we have all prayed - and wept - to think of our dear friend in such peril.
The nurse said it will be a long road back -- and Jacki needs the support of all her extended family - and I feel the news is good - as good as it can be in this situation. We prayed for a miracle - I think Jacki got it. I knew Jacki as a teenager, know her family - she was a frequent visitor to our house -Jean Allen - Keep Jacki in your prayers.
==================
Moderators, as always I try to be careful and respect people's privacy, but meanwhile I think we also all would like to know how Jacki's condition is. IF one of you think the message is too private, then please delete it! ;)
I have sent a card today to Jacki and I am sure she will love all the cards from people around the world and make her smile!
Fieneke
-
Thank you Fieneke for sharing Jacki's health condition.
I have no objection in that.
Thanks to her friends to keep us informed.
-
OMG I just read this post about Jacki. Thank you for giving us the address, Gayle. She will be included in my prayers starting tonight for sure.
-
I sent her a postcard yesterday. Come on Knopflerados, let us all send her our wishes from all over the world. I was happy to meet her last year and she deserves all our support. A nice card is a small favour we can do, but it will keep her fighting and help her with recovery. If we can make her room like a mailbox she will smile a lot and smiling helps to get better!
Thanks Fieneke and Gayle for informing us.
-
Yup. Me too. I sent Jacki a get well card yesterday, from myself & my family.
I'm sure when she sees all of the cards, she'll be better in no time.
Cheers BBB
-
Hi to everyone, I've been far from MK forums for a while due to work and life matters, and today I received your kind emails about Jacki, I didn't know about the accident and I'm very sad for her. I really hope she'll get better very soon, my prayers and thoughts to her and all the people who love her.
-
Isina if you wish you can leave here a message for Jacki, she'll get the poster soon
http://www.amarkintime.org/forum/index.php?topic=617.0
-
I didn't hear anything today, but as soon there is news, I will share with all of you again!
OF course when others get news from people close to Jacki, then please post it here also!
Quote Ingrid: "A nice card is a small favour we can do, but it will keep her fighting and help her with recovery. If we can make her room like a mailbox she will smile a lot and smiling helps to get better!"
That is right Ingrid, I see her smiling already! ;D With the card I sent yesterday I put a little "Delfts Blue" heart in the enveloppe. I bought it in March when Jans and I met Val (Superval) and her husband in Amsterdam! I think Jacki might like that one. ;) Just a little surprise to let her know she is in our heart!

Good news from Jacki's friend on facebook:
today was a good day for Jacki. In all areas, she is slowly improving. We got a call from the hospital saying she wanted visitors...yeah! I was there for nearly 2 hrs - she still has the breathing tube in, but we were able to communicate with an alphabet card. She was in good spirits; it was great to see her smirk again! I printed off her facebook wall and read some of the comments on it - her face was lighting up when I told her the names and what everyone said. Keep praying for her improvement, we hope she has turned a corner! Thanks again to everyone!
-
Great news, Slavi! Thanks for letting us know. :D
-
Great news, Slavi! Thanks for letting us know. :D
-
Great Slavi thank uu !
-
Hi folks, Emily asked me to post this message about Jacki here too ( as it is on MKNews Forum and was sent by the mail to people whose mail addresses she has):
Hi Everyone,
Obviously I do not have everyone
-
Mails: Thank you for this information Slavi! I got already 2 mails, but hey it's better getting information twice or more, then no information about this at all! ;D
Also thank you for the information of the friend of Jacki! I didn't get an E-mail yet, neither can I watch the other profile/ page of Jacki. It is good to hear that she smiled and get news from us.
Fieneke
-
All my wishes tofr Jacki to feel better and come through this awful time. And thanks and appreciation to all of you wher are making the special and kind efforts to do extra for her.
-
GREAT news: Jacki's friend has just advised that the docs have removed her breathing tube!
-
Great News!
Just sent my CD away! I hope she receives many more!
-
That's great, she will feel much more comfortable now. At the end of the afternoon I will bring my CD's to the postoffice as well.
-
> Jacki's friend informed that her breathing tube is out!
-
Great and wonderful news! I am glad about that! ;D
Fieneke
-
:) Great news, thanks Slavi and Nelly. Let's all keep up our prayers though, for a speedy and positive rehabilitation and early return to AMIT. :D
-
When the time comes, I will gladly accept donations to my paypal account, in order to send Jacki flowers from all of us...
-
wow, been on holiday.
Get Well Jacki...
hate it when this happens...
cool forum friends we are, i am proud of us..
-
Until I read Emily's email just now I had no idea this had happened to Jacki. My thoughts and prayers go out to her, and to those helping her recover.
I've lost count of the hours I've spent chatting with Jacki, but she is without doubt one of the kindest, funniest, most genuine people I know.
It's a relief to read she no longer needs the breathing tube. I'll be praying for further improvements and will send a card and some CDs.
-
fresh news. Good news!
Hi everyone! Jacki continues to improve, she is ready to get out of ICU (woohoo!), now all she is waiting on is for a regular room to open up. I asked her about the laptop, and for now, she said she would like to wait on that. But she sends her love to you all! She's in great spirits and we pray she continues to improve! Hope you all have a great weekend!
-
Thanks, Nat for the good news. Did you actually get to speak to Jacki?
-
No, that's the news her friend posted on her facebook page
-
Nathalie, thank you for the update about Jacki! I can't get on her new page, so can't read there!
:(
Quote Maarten: "cool forum friends we are, i am proud of us.."
Yeaahhh Maarten, that is right! I also think it is wonderful that we all sent cards and CD's to Jacki. To show her that we care about her and that she is in our thoughts and prayers.
You know, besides Jans and my kids, I now and then also talk about my online friends to my family (brother-sisters, in-laws ) / co-workers / friends and others. I sometimes see them looking at me as if they can't understand how much friends, I met at the forums for a long time. mean to me! I explain that although I didn't meet most of them, that they are a part of my life. I read their stories and know what is going on in their lives. I perhaps even know more about them then I know about co-workers or some friends I meet twice a year! LOL
By receiving cards with Christmas, birthday's or in cases like illness, the friends online become to others outside the forums, real people. By watching the cards Jacki will get from the MK fans, people will know how much she is loved and what kind of wonderful group of people she is a member of. ...........I sure would be proud to show ALL the cards from my friends to other people, and I think Jacki will have the same feeling and it will make her happy too!
Uuuhh what did the 3 musketeers say?
One (MK) for all and all for one (Jacki) ;D
Fieneke
-
So glad to read that Jacki can move to a regular hospital room now. That's welcome progress.
-
It's wonderful to read about Jacki's progress. I'm sure there's a long way to go before she's fully recovered, but to hear she'll soon be out of intensive care is such a relief.
Fieneke, your last post was lovely and sums up exactly how I feel about the people I've got to know here. (I hope to come here far more regularly now I finally have proper web access again.)
-
Great news about Jacki. :)
I too, also think of ALL the forumers i have met over the last 4 years since i got my 1st computer, an extension of my family.
Lots of them i havn't met yet, but hope to in the future, and many i have met, especially over the last couple of years.
I feel very proud to be part of such a great bunch of people, from all 'Walks Of Life' :) ;)
Cheers BBB
-
Well said Fieneke. ;)
-
:D ;D :) Great !!! news indeed. We all hope that your rehabilitation is positive and rapid and results in a full recovery.. ;) ;)
-
Thank you all for your nice comment! :-*
As I told before, I have permission to post the messages of Jacki's friend Jean at the forums. I received this one today!
Re: jacki "Dear Fieneke - I just talked to Jacki. She was sitting up in a chair eating lunch. The nurse was going to have the nurse put her back to bed. She didn't sound quite like herself but she is still fighting the pneumonia. It was wonderful to hear her voice and to know she is out of the ICU. Her room number is 5227. She talked about her garden at her house - I thought that was a good sign. I read her part of your message - to let her know you are thinking of her - she was so pleased - meant a lot to her. She will be there for a while yet but at least this is a good step forward. Jean Allen"
Good news again and I hope she will feel better every day!
Fieneke
-
Thanks Fieneke, It's good to hear about the improvement. :)
-
I got a new mail from Jacki's friend Jean Allen.
==============
Re: jacki
Just wanted you to know that today - July 17 - she seems a little better - They got her up and she fell but does not seem to be hurt. I would guess that she is very weak. She is not having visitors today - says she is very tired and needs to rest. They are going to move her to a rehabilitation hospital soon to get her on her feet. But first they have to deal with the pneumonia. Is still a problem. The other day when I spoke to her the brightest she sounded was when I mentioned that you had inquired about her. Thank you. My best wishes. Jean Allen
===============
If Jacki already likes that people inquire about her, what would her reaction be when she receives the cards of the fans around the world and especial the wonderful card Nelly made? ::) I would love to see her face! ;D Knowing what kind of woman Jacki is, she even might get a tear in her eye reading all the get well wishes! ;)
Being a member of the Knopflerado family, she is a part of us and in our thoughts and prayers!
Fieneke
-
:) :)Well said Fieneke2. You have the heart of a true Knopflerado. ;) :D
-
Thank you Shangri-La. :-* I feel honoured to be a part of this wonderful group of fans!
My husband and I will leave Thursday July 23rd for a vacation to Rhodes (Greece). I don't have a computer, so I can't keep you all informed for about 2 weeks. I sent Marie, Gayle and Emily a mail and hope that they can keep in contact with Jean Allen or other friends of Jacki or even can have contact with Jacki self, so that you all will be informed.
As soon as I hear something before I leave or when I return August 6th, I will let you all know.
I sent yesterday a copy of the DVD of the birthday party of Nigel and Ingrid and also a CD with pictures of the party and of our visit together with Jacki and Mark S to Norwich castle. Jacki loved her visit to the UK and I hope it might make her feel happy to watch again. ;)
Fieneke

I wish her a full recovery
-
There's bad news about Jacki. I received e-mails from Emily and this is what I can post right now.
People, please send your strongest thoughts to Jacki. Keep praying and I really hope we can catch some better news soon again.
On Saturday, Jacki developed problems breathing on her own. She was transferred to the ICU. She was totally sedated, re-intubated and put on a ventilator to help her breathe. To make matters even more serious, apparently there is severe scarring in her lungs (from using the ventilator during her previously stay in the ICU), and her lung capacity is very limited right now.
Also, in the earlier stages of her admission, she had developed blood clots (which is not uncommon with injuries such as she sustained) for which she was given blood thinners. It was discovered around or about Saturday that Jacki had had blood loss. She received both blood and plasma, and the blood thinner medication was stopped. Since that time, she has developed blood clots again in her legs.
This is an extremely serious and sad turn of events. Please keep Jacki in your prayers and best thoughts.
-
Thank you, Ingrid and Emily for keeping us up-to-date about Jacki. This latest news seems very serious and as always, she is in my thoughts and prayers.
-
oh no! :-[
But she's a fighter, she'll make through! My thoughts are with her...
-
I will try to keep you updated folks and try to let her know by her friends that we all think of her and pray for her. I wish I could do some more :'(
-
OMG!! So sad to read that. I hope she will get well soon aagain. My thoughts and all my positive energy is with Jacki!!
-
Thank you for posting this news Ingrid and as we promised each other we will stay in touch while I am away!
Although I will have vacation, Jacki will be in my thoughts every day and I hope she will recover soon! She will and must fight .......Mark is giving a concert next year and she should be there!
Fieneke
-
This is very sad to hear and extremely serious. To be readmitted to ITU for ventilation nearly 5 weeks after her accident is a real set back and feels ominous to me. I'm sure Jacki is being looked after v well and getting the best of treatment. All we can do is hope and pray . C'mon jcser!!
-
Fight, Jacki, fight! I'm hoping and praying for her recovery...
-
:) Keep fighting Jacki. The MK world would be poorer for you not being here with us. :'(
-
Fight on Jacki!
You are in my prayers.
-
Hi all,
Just received new e-mail from Emily. It's a little bit better, but not more than that.
Here is the info I got:
I just spoke to Jacki's friend. The news is brief but a bit better this morning.
Jacki had a good night. The doctors are now having to give her less oxygen than yesterday (presumably that means that her lung function has improved).
Keep those powerful and positive messages flowing to Jacki!
Come on people, all positive energy towards Jacki, maybe she can feel the energy flying towards her from all over the world, she needs it!
-
Ingrid, I'm sure she can feel our love and positive energy. Jacki need our support right now more than always...
Come on Jacki!! You can do it, girl!! The distance is not important now. No matter I'm in the other part of the globe, I think of you and you are in my heart and thoughts all the time.
Love from your friend Slavi
-
:) Thanks for the info Ingrid. Keep Jacki in your thoughts and prayers folks. I paused several times yesterday and tried to pray and think about a positive day for Jacki and Ingrid's message seems to have shown a small improvement. :)
-
Hi all,
Just received news from Emily.
Jacki had a good night, she is breathing a little more on her own now and her vital signs are stable.
The CD's started to arrive and her friends and family are trying to have some playing in her room even though Jacki is still sedated. Come on people, keep sending cards, CD's or whatever. Keep praying and sending positive energy. All of this will give her strength to fight and keep fighting. Hopefully she will improve a little day by day and not fall back again. There's a long way to go, but this news gives hope.
Love
Ingrid
-
And another update from Emily, thanks to both Emily and Jacki's friend who is informing Emily every day.
Overall, Jacki's condition is stable with a couple of milestones (every step counts!): she is now on 50% oxygen and the doctors have stopped the blood pressure medication. LOL, the nurse described Jacki as 'cruising' this morning. Jacki is still sedated and the doctors plan to keep her in this state for at least the next couple of days. Also a friend of Jacki's from Connecticut, USA will be visiting her.
So we keep on hoping and praying. And wishing Jacki all the strength she needs, and that's a lot!
-
Emily e-mailed me good news.
Sometimes, doctors change their plans. Jacki was taken out of sedation! When her friend said her name, Jacki responded by opening her eyes but she was unable to really focus; it might take a bit of time for her to 'be with it'. The x-rays show that her lungs are clearing and the oxygen she is receiving is now down to 45%; the doctors are hopeful that the breathing tube will soon be removed. She had a low fever last night but this morning it is normal.
Those wonderful wishes are working!
I agree with this last line. Our prayers and thoughts and wishes help!
-
Ingrid, thanks for keeping us updated, and let's hope and pray that the small steps Jacki's making in her recovery turn into great big leaps.
-
Jacki, sending you all my love day by day!!
-
Happy to hear she gets better. Hope she will have a full recovery
-
Dear Jacki - Still thinking of you! :-*
-
Hi all,
Another message from Emily regarding our friend Jacki:
Jacki continues on a slow but steady course in the right direction. The docs have lowered Jacki
-
Hi Ingrid :D
Has anyone emailed you as yet? ???
If not get Emily to send the emails to me. You have my email details to pass on to her already. ;)
-
Thanks my friend. I feel it like a duty to keep you all updated. I am very happy it's a little better with Jacki, it improves the quality of my holidays.
I will send Emily your e-mail, so you can take this little job from me for 1 1/2 week. It's not a big job, as Emily already wrote: no news is good news. So there won't be e-mails every day as long as she is stable.
-
And my last posting for about 11 days! Not too bad to go on holiday.
Jacki's breathing tube was removed yesterday. While this is a positive step in the right direction, she is still having breathing problems. Jacki is using an oxygen mask for now, while the staff tests out various ventilator settings to see how much of the work (of breathing) she can do on her own. It sounds like the hard part is just starting as Jacki learns how to breathe independently.
Keep those good thoughts coming!
Ian, now it's your turn to keep everyone updated. Thanks for taking this little job.
See you all later, keep on praying, sending good thoughts, cards, presents to Jacki.
Love
Ingrid
-
:D News is getting better. Thanks Ingrid. Have a great holiday!! :)
-
You can also get updates on Jacki's condition by going to http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jackicser
It's a website set up for seriously ill and injured patients where their family and friends can stay up to date on the patient's condition. If you create a user name, you can leave messages for Jacki there, too.
-
Thanks for the link Gayle. What a thoughtful site - a real help when folk are at such a distance from their loved one.
-
:) Thanks for the link Gayle. :)
Jacki is still on the improve and below is an email from Emily. Jacki's friend will be away on the weekend, so I won't post again until next week, but in the mean time check out the link from Gbobmi.
Jacki
-
Great news that Jacki is getting stronger with every day that passes. :)
Long may it continue.
Love BBB. xxxxxxxx
-
:) The news continues to be positive and Jacki has been moved further away from the nurses station, which augers well for her recovery. Keep your thoughts and prayers coming folks...
Jacki's nurse reports that she's doing well. She is alternating between the mask and the oxomizer (that's the tube in the nose that we see so often) which she finds much more comfortable. Sounds like she had a good day.
Just a note, the room with a view is still in ICU, but, I believe, a bit farther from the nurses station and it must be wonderful to have a window.
Thanks, on Jacki's behalf, for your continued messages, prayers, and caring thoughts. Reports from Omaha are that she brightens with delight when she hears your messages.
-
Good to hear Ian. I keep thinking of her during my holiday, so happy to read it's getting better bit by bit.
Love Ingrid
-
Any chance we could somehow get the "Get lucky" track out to jacki somehow!!!! Am sure it is illegal bla bla bla but who cares!!!!! I know if I were in Jackis shoes it wouold give me such a massive boost!!!
Just a thought!
x
-
:) :) very nice thought MB. If I had the capacity to copy the song and get it to Jacki then I'd have done it also.
-
I think we would be legal, since the MK site released already. They MEANT to release that one. Yea, Jacki! And Yea! to all of you who so faithfully report her progress.
-
I am back from Greece and although we had a wonderful time there, I everyday had to think about Jacki, especial in the evening when I saw from our balcony the stars and heard the sea! I didn't have access to a computer there, but lucky Ingrid sent me a few times a SMS, so I was informed about the condition of Jacki
-
Lovely to have you back, Fieneke! I am glad you had a good time in Greece - I was thinking of you basking in the sunshine! ;D
Great news also to know that Jacki is doing well. I hope she will be home soon! :)
-
Fieneke, hope you had a great time in Greece. Thanks for the Jacki update. It's wonderful that she's doing better.
-
An updated email from Emily:-
Jacki was moved to a regular floor Thursday PM. She is still supposed to be using the breathing mask but lets everyone know that her preference is taking the oxygen via the nasal cannula (tube). The docs and medical staff are watching her closely to ensure no complications arise. It is hoped that if she can stay on a slow but steady course she can become more involved with physical therapy and begin regaining her strength.

Thank you Val and Linda, it is good to be back again! I just heard the new song of Mark and I am getting excited again, but now for the new album!
Thank you also Shangri-La and Emily for the news! :-*

-
I signed up at the CaringBridge site of Jacki and get information through that site also when there is news. Gayle and a few others signed up there and Emily continues to keep us informed via Shangri-La at this site, so I am hesitating if I should post news about Jacki again or if you all go to that site to get information.
Fieneke
Edit today: I decided that when you need more information besides the posts here, then it is better to visit the CaringBridge site yourself. ;)
-
"Jacki's on the improve" - news from Emily remains positive but Jacki is going to still need as much positive thought that we can muster to make the best recovery possible.
Becky had some positive news to report from her visit with Jacki late yesterday. Jacki
-
:( Bad news about Jacki folks.
:-\
There has been a setback over the past 12 hours resulting in Jacki requiring further surgery. I have attached the last email from Emily.
Folks we need a lot more positive vibe to lift this great MK fan out of her state of poor health. Becky reports:-
Jacki underwent unscheduled surgery yesterday afternoon for removal of her gallbladder when complications arose causing Jacki to be in a great deal of pain. Her surgeon said that the procedure, although long, went off as well as could be expected considering Jacki
-
One step forward with Jacki's condition today. Thanks to Emily and Becky for keeping us in the loop.
There was brighter news regarding Jacki as of late yesterday afternoon.
I heard from Becky late Sunday afternoon. She had not yet been to see Jacki at that point (but was hoping to a bit later). The news was brighter. She said that Jacki was awake and
-
TY for the news
-
Jacki is one strong cookie.!
My thoughts are with her everyday.
Cheers BBB

Dear all,
Thanks for the good thoughts, at the end of this day I can report good news, Jacki got a MK-birthday-gift regarding her condition. This is the message from Emily which she got from Becky who is visiting Jacki almost everyday (thanks Backy from all of us who are on the other side of the globe!)
Jacki was transferred to a regular room (#4614).
Becky and Jacki enjoyed a good visit earlier today. Becky reported that Jacki was in good spirits and
-
This is all really good news. Seems Jacki is making a steady, if slow, recovery.
-
I am very sorry to have sad news again, it looked so good yesterday :'(
I am sorry to tell you that Jacki experienced problems with her breathing last night and the decision was made to transfer her back to the ICU; she is again sedated and intubated. Becky said that she was told
-
Yes Ingrid she will need all the positive thoughts we can manage she seems to relapse every time things start to look brighter. :(
-
Oh dear, bad news. Perhaps the news will be hopeful again tomorrow. Good wishes for Jacki.
-
Below is what Emily wrote to me:
As of very early this (Friday) morning, the doctors felt that Jacki was doing a bit better with the intubation in place. Testing yesterday revealed an infection for which Jacki is now receiving treatment with antibiotics. Additional tests were run but the results are not yet available.
Becky will be away this weekend but always close to her cell phone and home voice mail. She has promised to call me if she is notified of anything new in Jacki
-
My thoughts are with Jacki. I hope she will improve more and more each day! :)
-
Sorry Val I have no better news than this after your holidays.
Just a little update I received from Emily some minutes ago:
Jacki
-
Thank you Ingrid, I have been thinking of her whilst I was away and hoped for better news. I know we are all sending our thoughts and prayers. My fingers are crossed too! :)
-
Just like all of you I think about Jacki also every day! I am very worried and hope she will be strong enough to continue fighting! :'(
I hope she will hold on and will be able to leave the ICU again as soon as possible!
Fieneke
-
It has been a pretty long time you heard from me, but no changes till then! But now ..... some better news:
Finally, some very positive news to report. The docs removed Jacki
-
:) Thanks Ingrid. I must say I was starting to think Jacki was struggling after being admitted back into the ICU. Let's hope she has a steady improvement from now on with no more reversals.... :) ;)
-
I do hope that she has turned the corner. This has been a very rough road for her. I'm looking forward to the day that she can read all the messages of love and support everywhere.
-
Great news! Let's hope Jacki can keep progressing this time. I do pray for her every night.
-
:D Again a positive update, fingers crossed, prayers, positive thoughts, let it all flow to Jacki that this will be the definitive turnaround:
There is more positive news. Jacki was transferred out of the ICU late yesterday afternoon to a regular room. Per Becky, she in great spirits and is very motivated begin working again with the physical therapists to regain her strength. Her new room # is 4614 (see above for the hospital address).
Keep those best wishes, prayers and Karma flowing all the way to Nebraska!
Emily from Boston
I will be away for little over a week, leaving to Iceland next wednesday, Ian agreed to take this little (and let's hope positive) job from me again. Again thanks to Emily and Becky who keep us updated all the time.
Love Ingrid
-
:) :D Hi again. I'm filling in for Ingrid again and am happy to be able to post some GOOD NEWS about Jacki, just in from Emily. Looks like our wishes and prayers have helped over the past couple of months so keep up the positive karma for Jacki as she enters the next phase of her recovery and rehabilitation. ;) :D
"wonderful news regarding Jacki"
What we have been waiting for - Jacki was transferred earlier today to a rehabilitative hospital that will focus on her respiratory issues; once these have been seen to, she will then go to another center which specializes in physical therapy for her leg.
All I know at the present is that she very much prefers being in this new facility to the hospital. I am hopeful that more details will follow soon.
If you would like to send Jacki a card, please contact me at e.andler@verizon.net (in the subject line, please note

Excellent.
What a tough girl!
Well done jcser! :D
-
Great news! :D
-
YES! :)
The road is still long but she's on the way!
-
Very good news, indeed! Thanks for the update, Emily.
-
:) Saturday and the news continues to be good..... :D
Emily received another email from Becky which is below:-
Jacki is happy in her new surroundings and with all of the staff that help her. Her spirits are good and she is feeling very motivated. Her therapy went really well this morning. Jacki knows that she needs to pace herself so as not to overdo anything.
Please keep those good wishes and positive Karma flowing straight to Nebraska!
Emily from Boston
-
:) News from Nebraska continues to be good!!!
Ingrid will be back tomorrow so this will be my last post with the latest news from Emily for now. I'm certain that the next time Ingrid will be away, Jacki will be right back to fighting fit again and back here on the forum. :)
Becky
-
Good news - keep on goin'
-
Back again and happy to see this good news. I checked my mail during holiday a couple of times so I knew it was getting better. Keep the good thoughts going to Nebraska! She has a long way to go but she is strong and hopefully she will be able in a short while to jump into this forum again. :) It's just my hope, not something I heard about. But I really hope we will be able to say HI to her in person again :)
-
Welcome back Ingrid! I hope you had a good time on vacation! ;D
Sometimes you have those days that you want to shout:
"I FEEL HAPPY!!!!!" ;D
Not only because Mark gave us some dates for his concerts, BUT also to know that Jacki is recovering the last days!! YEaaaahhh both are wondeful things to know and makes me really feeling happy.
THANK YOU Emily, Shangri-La and also Ingrid for keeping me and everybody informed here at AMIT! A while ago I signed up at Caringbridge, so I read there almost everyday also. It is wonderful to see that Jacki is surrounded by such a great group of people who keep her friends around the world informed as soon there is news! ......... Kisses to all of you!! :-*
In case others have the same plan I'll share a secret with all of you. Ingrid and I were not sure if Jacki or one of her friends were able to order the new album of Mark and we all know she would love to have that album also. We know she will be happy to listen to Mark's voice and all the beautiful songs who will be at the album. So as a surprise for Jacki, I orderd also on behalf of Ingrid the GET LUCKY album and as soon as I can collect it from the music store, I will sent it to her. ;D
Hey pppsssttt keep it secret for Jacki and let it be a big surprise for her! ;D

You have a kind heart, Fieneke.

Hi all,
And another update from our friend Emily:
This is a really nice way to kick off the US Labor Day weekend. One of Jacki
-
Excellent news!
-
Thanks Ingrid, that sounds very good news! :D
-
And again good news :D
Jacki update
-
Great news. Won't it be amazing when she eventually posts on here again?
-
If we are patient, send our thoughts, give her our support it will happen again :) I am sure, it's for a pretty long time now (compared to the months before) that we had good news all the time. So keep on praying for her!
-
Ingrid, you actually got a message directly from Jacki? That's terrific! Go Jacki!
-
No not me Knopfling, Emily got the message and send it to me. But anyway it's a big step forward.
-
:) ;) :D Excellent, news, Ingrid. Thanks for the update and coming from Jacki via Emily directly is even better news. The support of a great group of Cyber friends can be a real boost to the morale and hopefully the karma and news continue as she enters the rehabilitation stage. :)
-
And good news again, this makes me happy: So dear Jacki, Get Lucky is made for you!!
Jacki continues to do really well! Yesterday she was able to spend a little time outdoors. She is working very hard at her daily physical and occupational therapy regimens. The plan is to move her to another facility at some point next week before she is able to live with a friend (or go home).
Jacki
-
This is wonderful news! I must admit I was really worried when she kept going back to the ICU because of her breathing difficulties.
-
So good to read this. Thank you.
-
:) ;) We all Got Lucky!!! :D
-
Does anyone have any Jacki updates? The last one was 10 days ago.
-
No news so far. It means (because we agreed so) that there is no news, that all is the same as last update. I really hope she will be online in a short time so we can talk to her ourselves. But we have to be patient, it's really very hard work to recover and have therapy all the time. So I guess she will be very tired, too tired to ache for a computer. But no news is good news!
-
Yup, i agree. It'll be great to have Jacki back on line.
She's sure got a lot of catching up to do. :)
Continued good wishes to you. :-* :-*
Cheers BBB
-
There are regular updates on her facebook, she's doing well!
-
That's really nice to hear! :D
-
the lates post, from last week, for those who are not on facebook:
Hi everyone! Jacki is doing well. She is at a rehab hospital, getting 3 hrs of physical therapy a day. She is walking with the assistance of PT's and a walker. She is still getting a small amount of oxygen, which will probably continue for who k...nows how long. She is motivated to get better and get back to work (which is still a couple months away). She is overwhelmed by all of the love, support, and prayers for her. She may be moved to another facility in the next week or two, where she should have the internet. :) I'm not promising that, but keep your fingers crossed! Don't forget about the pancake feed for her on Sunday, Sept 27th, if you are in Omaha!Read more
-
Last night I was not at home but more news came in from Emily:
Today is a big day for Jacki. She is in the process of moving to a different rehab facility where she will live for the next month and continue the physical and occupational therapy program. She will first be evaluated on arrival so that an individual treatment plan will be developed for her.
Later today, Jacki will be interviewed about her accident by television reporters in her local area. These interviews will promote the fact that the police department where Jacki works is holding a pancake breakfast (information below) in her honor to help raise money to defray the cost of her expenses. If you know anyone who lives in or will be traveling to the Omaha, Nebraska area this weekend, please encourage them to attend the event.
Pancake breakfast

Great to hear/see this all. She is really improving a lot :D
-
Thanks! That was really lovely to see Jacki on the film. She seems in good spirits and well on the road to recovery. I hope the fundraising goes very well! :D
-
OK,tell me if I'm out of order here but could we as a forum contribute say
-
Waterline Man, you are great!!
Actually there is a paypalaccount for Jacki, I already donated some months ago and this morning I asked Emily if it was ok to post it here as well. So as soon as she answers me I will post it and I really hope a lot of people will give a little amount. And please don't think that it doesn't help, every dollar helps, and when a lot people help with say 10 euro it makes a lot money together.
Thanks for your excellent idea WM :-*
-
Ok my friends, I have permission to post about the fund that has been set up for Jacki. Becky is the one who organizes it all, including this one. So you will find her name on your account.
We now have bought a lot of tickets for all kind of concerts. Please realize that it might be possible that Jacki will not be able to attend one at all. Because there are a lot of bills to pay or because her health isn't good enough. So I really beg you, please find a way to help her. Don't feel ashame if you can only pay 5 or 10 euro's/dollars or whatever. It does make a difference! And for us it's only the difference of having a couple of beers less at the concert.
And of course, when your wallet is a little bigger it is much appreciated if you donate more ;)

Paypal-account: jcserfund@hotmail.com

Thanks a lot in advance

-
Yes i hope it will help her, next month I could give her again...
I have a regular job for some months so... :D
Time to help our good friend !!!
I watched the video, I was really moved and glad to see Jacki ! She seems to feel quite better !!
Don't stop sending her positive energy , prayers and whatever is good for her !
-
I just had a facebook chat with Jacki and she sounded great! She told me a little about the accident. Apparently, the driver she hit tried to accuse her of being at fault and she was NOT! I hope she sues the bastard. Otherwise, Jacki asked me to say hi to everyone, so, here it is...
"HI, EVERYONE!"...from Jacki!
I'm so glad she's able to use a computer and doing so much better!!!! ;D
-
that's the greastest news since a long time ! So glad to see her messages on Facebook !!!
Great you had a chat with her ! Hope to chat soon with her too :)
-
Great!!!!!!!!! Keep on going Jacki! ;)
-
My hopes goes to her :)
-
:) :) Great Idea WM and thanks for the link Ingrid. We need to keep the positive thoughts going as well.... It is a long struggle back from health problems and all the positive Karma from AMIT can play a part along with the fundraising. ;)
-
I had a chat with Jacki this afternoon ! She is very strong ! That was so wonderful to speak with her !
She told me that she put up our poster next her bed ! Isn't that sweet?
She's gonna have a CD player very soon ! She's gonna listen again to MK Soon !
Is someone already send her Get Lucky ?
-
A very good thought, W/M! I hope between us all we can raise a lot of money to help Jacki! :D
-
Nelly, Fieneke and I already sent her a postcard with the Get Lucky digipack.
Superval: I agree with you, I hope we raise a lot of money for Jacki. When everyone here does 10 euro's it will be almost 5000! Almost 500 members ;)
If anyone needs help with the payment on her paypal-account please don't hesitate to ask me. If you don't have paypal and you don't want to open one (it's free and safe and easy to do) and you want to donate also contact me so we will find a way to do it different.

It was great to see Jacki looking, if i must say, pretty darn good.!!!
She sure is a fighter. :)
I will donate to Jacki's fund, just got to iron out a few Paypal probs.
Even better to see her back on AMIT again. :) :)
Cheers BBB
-
Is there a reason why Jacki has a different username? I thought initially it was someone else called Jacki! Anyway, whatever her name now it's lovely to have her back with us! :D
-
Yeaaaahhh she is back with us! Whaaauwww I feel so happy to hear the good news and to see her message at my facebook page! ;D
I admire her for her strenght and that she didn't give up in those difficult times. I loved the video and to see Jacki again. Thank you Emily for posting it!
Ingrid I would like to donate also, but don't know how to use Paypal. I have to leave now, but will contact you tomorrow by E-mail and hope you can help me! ;D
Fieneke
-
Feel free to ask help, I will do anything to help you to help Jacki!
-
:) Hi Fieneke. It is surprisingly easy. I don't use it very often, and had forgotten my passwords, but they even have a very secure system involving security questions and 2 emails, which allow you to reset the password. ;) Also now, they have an express option, which allows the money to be transferred instantly or the normal 3-days clearance method.

Hi Guy's,
It is amazing to watch the video of Jacki i was so happy when i saw her again and looking amazing i might add. See is one strong cookie ;D
Best wishes Jacki. Jane.
