i just checked my hotmail account - which i have moved away from more or less - and there was a mail from OT.com. i just couldnt pass on this, but after reading the mail and posts here, i saw that the deadline was 23rd december.
sorry. only word that comes to mind, but in no way does it help or suffice.
so, again, merry christmas to you and your family Rikter. been a while
i truly hope that you and your family are safe and good and my heart goes to your daughter. i personally dont have any children, but i just hate it when the small ones suffer 
weird though, as i started to read the mail, Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo`ole started to play on my iTunes, and i just love that song and always think of it and start to hum it and sing it when i am feeling down or going through something...
on another note, i am sorry - again - for being away from this great community, i have missed you truly much, but i have news: i am moving to paris (the one in france, not texas) to actually work for Blizzard Entertainment Europe and be a Gamemaster for the World of Warcraft game.
ill post a more informative update post once i am settled in paris and all.
best wishes to you all for the holidays and 2006 from motti - your friendly neighbourhood mangler.

Well, it's taken us (Rayna and I) more then a few hours to get all that has happened here pulled together; this is the most amazing thing that has happened since the Ronald McDonald house in Las Vegas, to see the whole community come together like this has been stunning and I'm really at a loss for words still BUT I'm truly stunned here gang, you really have helped out so much and so unexpectedly here.
I'm not sure if I can convey just how grateful we are that Santa came a little early...
Maddi, Corbi, Rayna and I wish you all the most very wonderful and happy Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa ever!
Bless you all…
See... Santa IS REAL and you all helped prove that to the Spookies!!!

Merry Christmas Rikter! You're easily one of the most selfless and generous people I've been honored to know online or off, my friend.

I am incredibly proud of everybody here for their generosity. No matter how much or how little you donated, it makes a difference. Just look at the note from Rikter for proof of that.

I’ve really wanted to post about your amazing gift to our family, but I’ve had a hard time deciding what to say. Surely, many of us have moments of definition in our lives, where we are able to say, “before this happened, I was one way; but, afterwards, I was different.” The largest moment like that in my life was when the doctor stopped on my way into the NICU in Las Vegas and said, “There’s something wrong with your baby.” Since that time, we have bumbled our way through anger, relief, remorse, curiosity, grief, bewilderment, joy, helplessness, despair and hope—all many times. First I tried to juggle a full-time job, caring for Maddy as best I could while she was in the hospital, and saving energy for Richard and Corbin when I got back from all that. Then she came home and there were a minimum of two doctor’s visits along with numerous home visits from therapists and nurses every week for months. On top of (between Richard and I) keeping watch over her 24 hours a day because she was being tube fed and would often reflux and aspirate (inhale) her own vomit. It was the strangest juxtaposition of emotions because there was the unbelievably ecstatic joy of having a newborn, but it was coupled with a great deal of worry and fear. We couldn’t even take her anywhere for the first eighteen months of her life because her health was so fragile. But we just kept holding onto hope for her. We kept holding on to the idea that, once we had gotten through all of these corrective surgeries that she required, she would be a healthy, normal child. Of course, what I didn’t realize then was that she will never be a “healthy, normal child.” Our daughter has a genetic disorder and she will never get “better.” However, her everyday health is remarkable—she gets the sniffles now and then, but she certainly doesn’t seem to be more prone to illness than anyone else. She is also a bright, happy little girl. But she’s not typical, and probably never will be. She doesn’t speak very well, which seems to be related to hearing loss; but her hearing screening only revealed fluid in her ears. She does communicate, though, and usually is quite good at getting her message across. I don’t know if any of you have read the article I wrote for c22c; but in it I mention that in some ways I feel chosen to have had this child, because I have had a lot of experience caring for disabled adults. It has been a help, even just that I understand a lot of the medical terms and situations we have been exposed to. Overall, this amazing child has been one of the most wonderful things to happen to RiK and I, along with our son. But, it has been a mixed blessing with a lot of forced growing pains involved.
That’s our story, so far. The support of our friends and families has played a large part in carrying us through (especially the first years,) and I have been occasionally overwhelmed by the amount of caring and generosity that people—many of them total strangers—have given us. However, no one has ever done anything like what you all have done for us. I am humbled by your gift. This is the sort of thing that renews faith in humanity—the kind of thing that makes me hope that the Threefold Law circles back around to each and every one of you and brings you all blessings of the magnitude as the one we have experienced this holiday. Thank you is not nearly enough, but it’s all I have.
Thank you.
