Posted April 23, 2008

Dear friends and family,

It's been a while since I wrote with news of Danny. It sometimes feels like we're all still recovering from the stomach cramps, sweats and seizures of January and February that left Danny with decreased weight, flexibility and motor skills, all of which he's slowly getting back.

Thankfully, it's clear he never lost his fortitude. (I just wondered what...

Dear friends and family,

I'll get to Danny's news in a moment, but first Lynn and I want to ask you all to take a moment to say a prayer or send a good thought to our dear friend Margaret Ayers who is on life support in a local hospital due to a severe infection in her digestive tract.

Dear family and friends,

Never a dull moment. I know I sent out an update a short while ago, but I have a favor to ask of you who live in our neighborhood and this seemed the best way to get the word out. I'll start with the favor and then give you some uplifting news about Danny.

This message was received and posted on January 31, 2008

Note to all the parents out there: if your child is healthy and happy enough to sleep well at night, be grateful. Don't take such a simple thing for granted. Yes, we've all worried about grades, behavior, career paths, etc., but count your blessings if your child sleeps well.

2008 has gotten off to a rocky start for Danny. During the last week of December and...

Danny Maguire Update for December 2007

This message received December 24, 2007

Dear family and friends,

We'd planned a Christmas gathering with Danny's friends on Saturday but Danny had a seizure early afternoon, forcing a change of plan. It's perhaps a measure of how far we've come that Danny and Lynn, Katie and I managed the four minute seizure with aplomb. Danny spent the rest of the day in bed with the eyes-open-gazing-at-the-ceiling look that he gets...

November 22, 2007

Dear family and friends,

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you who've given us so much to be thankful for.

Danny spelled out a message to pass along to all of you yesterday, which was great because it's been a hectic and sometimes nerve- fraying month here (at least for me; Lynn's poise is less flappable).

For over a month Danny's been fighting off a painful rash under his arms. We've had...

This update is for September 24, 2007

Dear family and friends,

Due to some health issues and skirmishes with our internet provider, it's been a while since the last update. Thankfully, the health issues have been mine, not Danny's -- some kind of virus that wiped me out for weeks but is finally on the run.

As for the internet provider, PLEASE NOTE: due to Adelphia's sale to Time-Warner, our old email addresses...

Dear friends and family,

So much to report on since the last update. I'll start with the big event last weekend: Andy and Tricia were married under a beautiful California Live Oak tree, alongside a waterfall, in the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu. Last fall we had asked Danny if he was going to attend the wedding and he touched "YES" on his board and he was true to...

Jimmy Khan This Week In Los Angeles

feeds@yuku.com (John F Page) — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 08:28:03 GMT

Special Guests from India this week in LA: Jimmy & Firuza Khan

Jimmy Khan was a young teenager when he had the great good fortune of meeting Beloved Baba in 1960. Baba had drawn them into His love net, through their good neighbors, Jim & Roda Mistry, whose son, Meherwan Mistry (our recent Sahavas guest) was a great pal of Jimmy's.

The treasured experiences of Jimmy's life are of being in Baba's presence over...
