I'd hope that everyone here knows sebab/Steph as one of the founding members of 4Play/Scatologic that developed BattleSphere.

 

She composed all the music within BattleSphere, and is the ex-wife of fellow BS alum and coder-wizard Scott LeGrand.

 

Her LiveJournal gives the details, but needless to say, things look rather bleak for her.

 

This BS player and Jaguar owner is praying for you,

Stephanie.

 

And I hope other so inclined will do so too.

Steph moved to regular room.

 

 

I spoke with Steph a while ago and she is very tired. Some of our conversation rambled, as they can when Steph is exhausted and low energy.

 

The good news is that she's out of the Special Unit and in a regular room. The good news is that she's awake, talking, and able to get out of bed.

 

The not-so good news is that her kidneys are not in great shape and she's discussing dialysis options with the specialist. There is one at-home method where she could lie down and undergo dialysis while asleep and they are considering that. And in the future, looking into a transplant for her. Her mother has volunteered and will be tested for compatibility/suitability. I have volunteered too, though I've already been told I'm an unlikely candidate because of my blood type and my owm immune system issues.

 

She is still shaken up by the experience of having to go through all that she's gone through and quite rightly paranoid about the medical establishment. To have to stop breathing three times and have to get compression on your heart the third time would make anyone nervous about being in the hospital.

 

I've made it very clear to her how many people are thinking about her and that I don't want her to die. She made it clear to me she doesn't want to die either, even as depressed as she's gotten. She wants to create. She wants to work and her mind has been clear but her health has been so poor it's prevented her from doing anything but exist.

 

We're both rather angry at how things have been going and how long it has taken for her to directly talk to a nephrologist. Her parents, Steph, and me are all looking at the medical system with a bit of loss of faith, even though there are some outstanding individuals in the field who are doing their best... being hospitalised isn't an experience that should leave one breathless.

 

I don't have anything to add here except that if you wish to call her tomorrow, you can now that she's in a regular room.

 

This is a message from the journal today. Apparently she would be good for calls around the afternoon sometime.

Please CALL ONLY BETWEEN THESE HOURS: 12:00 pm Eastern Time to 10:00 pm Eastern Time (1200-2200) as Steph will either be asleep or getting tests in the morning:

 

+1 570 271-8743

 

She may be getting tests later in the day, but most doctors do their rounds in the morning.

 

If you decide to visit, she's in room 743. I did not find out if that's in Bush Pavillion 7 or if it's another building though; you may need to call the Geisinger Medical Center operator or directory services.

 

That's all for now. I'm getting ready for bed and going to sleep.

Hello,

 

A little better news on her journal now, via a transcribed phone entry.

 

I've had the music playing with BS in the cart slot lately anyway, so

it seemed kind of relevant to follow her progress, despite my being

just being a random 3rd-party, but a caring human being sometimes.

 

I think whatever your faith, or lack of it, keep up the good thoughts...

Just trying to compose some music myself, I realise what a talent it is.

I read some of the posts, but still can't figure out exactly what's wrong with her....I'm guessing they don't know?

I gathered this was due to side-effects from diabetes; I think this was the reason all the BS profits were donated to a diabetes research group, but I'm not certain.

Best wishes for her.

 

On a related note, she mentions her music CDs on the site, and I would encourage everyone to purchase the BS soundtrack (or email and tell her you will, and then do it). It's a great piece of work, and it is a worthwhile listen for any Jaguar fan. I've had it for years, and still listen to it often.

I can't find the CD anywhere. I'll email her either later tonight or tomorrow to see if it is still available, and if not see if she would be willing to put it somewhere. If not, with her permission, I would be willing to make copies and sell them for a small amount and send all of the proceeds to her. I don't know if anyone would be inerested in that, but it would be something.

 

PM me if you're interested. Please don't email her, as the last thing she needs is one hundred Jag fans emailing her to try to get the CD re-released right now..

The profits were donated because of her having to grow up with juvenile diabetes. The Juvenile Diabetes Foundation helped her out during her youth and donating the profits from Battlesphere to JDF was a small way for her to give back to this organization.

Hello Dan,

She's sadly back in hospital, but she's still blogging, and planning things.

Did you get a reply regarding the music CD previously, now may be not

the best time either, but she might appreciate the interest as well now.
