Folks, a notice is going out from several sources that Jim Ludwig (Dark Sword Miniatures) and his family could use some good thoughts, prayers and general positive vibes sent their way.
Monday, the newest 3-month-old Ludwig, Lillian, stopped breathing and went into cardiac arrest while at her daycare. She is in the hospital, and the outlook seems grim.
No matter what your beliefs may be, please take a moment to send something positive towards little Lillian and her family.

Here's hoping she suprises them and gets better.
Getting back into the thick (or rather thin as in thinning my paints) of it, not picked up a brush in some time so this may hurt a bit until I get used to the feel of them again

I'm not a believer myself but will try to do some long distance reiki!
I wish the entire family and friends all the good in the world.
Please, if you can, keep us updated Tanya.

I've passed along to Anne that the good folks here have Lillian and family in their thoughts. Thank you all.
So far there's no update, but I'll keep watching for one.

I've just heard the sad news from Jim that their baby Lillian has passed away, 100 days after her birth. Take a moment to think good thoughts and send good energy and prayers for Jim and Melissa Ludwig. Skrit, there are Reiki circles around the world on this, all are welcome. I will pass along any news on her memorial services.
The news is not good. Please keep Jim and Melissa in your thoughts for a little while.
From Jim (sent sometime last night):
"Hello Anne - please update the Reaper Boards and the other painters for me as I am too drained to.
Lillian left this world holding the hand of God at 8:41 pm CST tonight. She peacefully died in our arms as we talked to her telling her how much we love her and how amazing our exactly 100 days to almost the minute were before she had her incident at Daycare.
She then held on for 3 long days as a last gift to us so we could say our goodbyes and let our friends/family say their goodbyes. She was such a little trooper trying to breathe on her own and fight through this. She just could not breath enough to sustain herself on her own after the brain damage. There were glimmers of hope here and there, but the damage to her brain was so devastating from the initial daycare incident, all of her upper brain functions were gone.
Melissa and I will never be the same as sharing our brief time with Lillian has changed us forever. They were the most amazing days of our lives and also the most devastating at the end. Please see the attached pics we took the night before the incident (some are a tad older). She was so happy and so talkative. She was the same the morning we took her to daycare. We have no answers yet except some sort of SIDS-type attack that happened at Daycare.
I will speak with you soon.
Please pray for Lillian
