Arlene Louie, DeYip Loo's wife :: My Mom's Health

[mai-ling]

Things are not good right now.
My mom is not good, she has been in the hospital since Saturday night.
She has liver failiure and so the next 24/48 hours are critical.
We don't know if her liver is cirrotic due to auto-immune or a fatty liver.
If her stats are not stable, i don't know what will happen.
So please keep her in your thoughts.

My father seems to be taking things in stride.
If any magician friends like to call just to talk to him,
I think that would be helpful.

My cell phone is 815-354-2730

We let mom go on Friday, May 29th.
Her send off was surrounded by friends and family.

A memorial service is not yet been decided yet.
When we have decided I will let everyone know.

Thank you for the emails, phone calls and cards.
Dad, Eric and I appreciated them greatly.

I know that they meant a lot to us but i know if
mom saw them, it would mean a lot to her too.

You can read more about the sendoff at my journal.
Feel free to leave a comment...

Your blog was very touching. It's very apparent that your mom was a great mother. My condolences to you and your family.

[mai-ling]

Fantasio emailed me and said that he sent
word to the IBM ring in Argentina and they
are doing a memorial for both Ali Bongo
and my mother there at their next meeting.

Hi Mai-Ling,

I was worried about her at the MCA Weekend--especially when we had no chance to talk. I remember the pleasure of meeting her two years ago.

With deepest sympathy,

Charles McCall

Thank you Charles,

I know you wanted us three to sign a photo for you
and we did not get around to it. I'm sorry that did
not happen. We went to the lectures we could get to.
She still enjoyed being with all the magicians there
and I know that for anyone at the MCA who spent a
little time talking to her will miss her greatly.

You can tell she loved magic and talking about it.
It made her eyes sparkle.

[John Carney]

very sorry to hear of your loss.

[Richard Kaufman]

Read your blog: very touching. She was lucky to have people with her and go peacefully. My condolences.

[mai-ling]

Thank you John.
she had a good memory of you and something
you said about some optical illusion cards
from the MCA 2008.

Thank you Richard for reading the entry.
Many people will miss her.
