We finally have a diagnosis. Kitty has the Swine Flu. I know that it sounds terrible, but at least we know what it is. The nice thing about this is that the doctors and nurses now know exactly what they are fighting and can concentrate their efforts to get her better. The hardest part about this for me has been the waiting and uncertainty, but at least some of the uncertainty is gone. At this point we just have to wait until she is strong enough to get off the respirator and breathe on her own. I have talked with many nurses and doctors and have heard a variety of guesses as to when that will be, but the simple truth is we just have to wait until she is healthy enough to get unplugged. I will keep everyone posted and let you all know if anything changes. Thanks so much for all the support and encouragement you have given me and all the love that you have for her. I talk to her every day and let her know how much everyone misses her. She will be back soon. — Sven

hang in there Sven…at least the docs now have a plan of attack…..
be well bro
I am very glad to hear there is a diagnosis. I hope & pray that Kolfinna is not only off the respirator soon, but out of the hospital & back home. Give her a big hug from Da Veeking of Darach. Aran
It is good that they finally know what it is, so they can focus on treating it directly.
We will continue to keep her in our thoughts and wish for her speedy recovery.
Martin & Valdis
She is well-loved and strong… may she win this fight soon!
Sven,
You are both in my prayers — you for strength and serenity to deal with seeing the one you love so ill, calm to deal with those caring for her, and strength to heal for her.
Remember — all those thoughts for her well-being include -you-.

Wow. I didn’t realize it took so long to nail down a Swine flu diagnosis. It’s good that they can proceed with treatment now that that’s settled.
The well-wishes continue, as well as the offers of help.
*hug*

My heartfelt wishes for a speedy and full recovery to Kitty.
I’ve never met her, but it seems that a lot of my friends have. How wonderful that so many people are concerned with her well-being you needed to set up a blog to get information out to them. I hope she’s feeling the love, and moves toward perfect health more quickly now that they know what’s going on.
In Service,

Sven,
Aidan told Caitilin and I about Kitty. Just know that you are both in our thoughts and prayers. We are thinking of you both and praying for her speedy recovery. If there is anything we can do for you from Georgia, just say the word.
Love and good thought to you both. Tell Kitty we are all worried about her. — Valgard
I am glad things are moving in the right direction, and I can relate to breathing issues as my wife has cystic fibrosis. We are hoping they get the vaccine out quickly because imagine what H1N1 would do to someone with chronic breathing problems! Take care and get well!
I know everyone is sending all the best wishes to Sven, Kitty and Kitty’s parents. Thank you Auggie for being such a wonderful help and a great friend. Staz
Thanks for the website updates! I am so happy to hear that she has a diagnosis — that opens the door for a treatment plan. Take care and let me know if there is anything I can do. You are in my thoughts. Doria
So glad to hear that she is doing so much better.
Sending healing thoughts and love!
and lots of energy and encouragement to Sven and the rest of her family.

Will be praying for her. She’s a tough gal – just need to keep her from fighting the ventilator!
Bri.
Wow I just heard about this. Best wishes for speedy recovery.
If there is anything I can do please do not hesitate to ask.
Kitty and Sven – best wishes for a speedy recovery and a happy return to family and friends.
You have all our prayers, Sven. We’re all pulling for the two of you!
Thank you so much for keeping us informed! I’m sending my love and strength to Kitty for a full and speedy recovery! Sven- I’m glad that some of the uncertainty has passed. Hang in there and know that there is so much support for you both!

Thank you so much for providing us with updates, and many thanks to Auggie too.
You and Kitty continue to be in our thoughts and prayers, and we are so happy to hear that there is an actual diagnosis. Forward movement is good.
As always, take care of yourself please let us know if there is anything we can do to help.

Sven,
I work with Dale Kessler. He shared Kitty’s story with me. I have shared this with my church and we’re praying. Thank you, and Auggie, for the updates. You have lots of caring people surrounding you and I am sure that brings comfort.
Kyle
Sven, it was a pleasure meeting both you and Kitty at Gulf Wars this year when I was Princess; I was especially happy the time I got to spend with you in the equestrian area chatting while you both competed. Know that We in Ansteorra are thinking of you both and sending our best for a quick recovery.
Sven –
I’d give you best wishes for a speedy recovery for Kitty, only it simply hasn’t been speedy so far. So I’ll wish for her a complete recovery. You and Kitty are in my thoughts and heart out here in South Carolina, and if there is anything I can do let me know.
Luke
Thank goodness they were able to diagnose it quickly. I think the not knowing is the worst part.
Please know you and she are in my thoughts and prayers.
Niamh
Now that the identity and combat style of the foe is known, Kitty can develop and master the skills to defeat it. She has mastered many other combat styles and foes in the past. We have every hope and expectation that she will quickly become proficient in these new skills also.
If there is anything we can do to aid you and Kitty, please call.
Aldred and Melasandra
I literally freaked out last week when I heard Kitty was in ICU (with no further info available)..
I’m relieved to hear there is a diagnosis, but I’ll still be worried sick until she’s off the respirator. She sounds like she’s in good hands though, so I think she’ll be okay. But I hope you’re doing okay too, Sven.
Mansur
I’m glad there’s a diagnosis so that the doctors & everybody at the hospital have the best information about treating her. Griff and I are pulling for her and you all in in our thoughts and prayers.
Khatagudai and I are thinking of both of you and hoping for a speedy recovery.
Leonard and I are both thinking of Kitty, and wish her a speedy recovery.
Thank you so much for taking the time and keeping us updated. Sven, Kitty is obviously loved by many everywhere.
The Chipendales wish her a complete recovery. We will see you both soon.
I continue to pray for her health and restoration to you and all of us. And for you because fear and waiting can be just as taxing as illness.
You are both loved and respected by a great many people.
Illora
I’m thinking of you guys and trying to send good healing energy for Kitty. Hang in there. Here’s hoping for a quick turnaround and a smooth recovery.
*hugs*
Sven,
Doug and I have been following from afar, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you both for a speedy and complete recovery.
Isabel
I’m so glad to hear there is a diagnosis for the problem.
I’m glad there is a diagnosis finally, and both of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
For the last week or so when Aurora, who is 4, says her prayers every night, she ends with “And please make Miss Kitty better soon.” And that’s in my prayers too.
Love,
Berengere
Dear Sven–
You must be worn out with all this. PLEASE take care of yourself!!!
Sending lots of love and prayers for you both…
Ouregan
Sven, you and Kolfinna are always in our thoughts and prayers. She is strong and will defeat this. You are strong and can be there for her. We will never give up. Though I can not speak for the Horsemen, I am sure that we all feel the same way. Be Blessed.
Lothar
My deepest condolences to Kitty’s friends and family…
