« Last Place You Look | Main | Play for today » November 25, 2002MojoI think about things like this all the time...if you had a chance to make a difference in someone's life, however small, would you do it? Read on...
I have been so blessed since I opened this lame website. People have sent me warm wishes and deeply personal stories when they've responded to the things I've written. Growing up in a medical family, I have come to believe that there is no such thing as a "routine operation" when you or someone you love is the subject. I hope that you'll take a moment tomorrow, and spare a thought for Bob and his baby girl, who are in Iowa. Iowa. Iowa. Iowa. Mojo. Mojo. Mojo. :) Trackback Pings TrackBack URL for this entry: Listed below are links to weblogs that reference Mojo: » Wil needs Mojo from maps and legends - craig pfeifer Comments

Posted by: amy at November 25, 2002 09:55 PMThere's no doubt in my mind that this surgery will go well and your beautiful daughter will be fine. I send all my mojo your way and will be thinking of you at 8 am CST with extra special mojo thoughts. Posted by: Cindy at November 25, 2002 09:57 PMNYC Mojo via Lawrence Kansas. My bro just had his son yesterday (three weeks early~a few complications) and so I gotta send some out to KS first, but I'll definitely put the knuckle ball on it and spin some out to Iowa. "I've never had a way with women, but the hills of Iowa make me wish I could. And I've never found a way to say 'I love you' but if the chance came by, oh I, I would."-Dar Williams Posted by: Timboy at November 25, 2002 09:58 PMI know what its like to have a family member undergo surgery. My mother suffered from a brain tumor three years ago and thankfully, everything went well. I wish the same outcome for Bob and his little girl and I send my love out to them. I hope everything goes well and may she go on to lead a full and healthy life. Bob: Dont give up hope and I will keep you in my prayers. *sends hugs too because hugs always comfort and feel good* Posted by: GreenEyes The Official CAT of Violence at November 25, 2002 10:03 PMIm sending all my MoJo bobs way for him and his daughter with nothing but hope that goes with it i know i will be thinking about the state of IOWA tommorow Posted by: Anthony at November 25, 2002 10:07 PM**Warm Canadian Mojo** The best wishes of 50 000 monkeys could never come close to the impact of a simple, uncertain, prayer to the God of the universe. I have and will continue to pray. -Jeffery Posted by: Jeffery Borchert at November 25, 2002 10:11 PMMojo, love, and prayers delivered.

Posted by: Radiate at November 25, 2002 10:23 PMMore Canuck Mojo for Bob, Katie, and their family and friends, this time from the Left Coast. Can anyone send mojo my way too? We just found out yesterday that my mom has to have open heart surgery tomorrow to replace a faulty heart valve. I can't fly out to be with her and it's driving me nuts. Like Bob, they say it's a routine operation, but I know it's also very risky. If you have any to spare, please send some mojo to my mom. Dearborne, Michigan, tomorrow at 1:30 EST. Posted by: Antika at November 25, 2002 10:24 PMBob, I'll be thinking good healthy mojo to you and your baby girl tomorrow morning. *hugs* Posted by: Antika at November 25, 2002 10:26 PMSerious mojo right atcha! My daughter had surgery when she was only 2 months old, I Was also reassured by everyone that it was just "A routine surgery" and everything did come out just fine, but I understand the anguish that you have. So... MOJO MOJO MOJO And...IOWA too! heh. :O) I shall light a green candle for Katie on the morrow. Green equals healing energy, in case you're wondering. ^.^ Posted by: R. Khanyar at November 25, 2002 10:36 PMI'm throwing all the mojo I can at Iowa, little girls named Boodlie-Face to their daddies (my own father insists on calling me Fanny Footer, so I grok this name thing), and all good men who worry about their daughters.

Posted by: Ruth Woytsek at November 25, 2002 11:13 PM*Healing MOJO* Posted by: belinda at November 25, 2002 11:21 PMBeing raised a good Protestant girl -- I understand Bob's request. Bob, you & Katie have my prayers... Antika, you & your mom have my prayers too. Wil - thanks for the opportunity to support others with our thoughts, prayers and mojo-sending ability. And, like Mary, I'm putting it on my blog to continue to web of support and prayer for Bob, Katie, Antika and her mom. ~Janece Posted by: Janece at November 25, 2002 11:21 PMMore Wisconsin mojo going to Iowa and Michigan too for Antika.

Posted by: Jason at November 26, 2002 12:00 AM* Healing Mojo * *beams MOJO to Katie and her family* Posted by: mcfoo at November 26, 2002 12:15 AMMojo from Burbank, CA, USA sent! Do let us know how it went! *hugs, mojo, support* Posted by: Adam at November 26, 2002 12:35 AMWell, it's just after midnight here on the west coast. Six hours to go for you in Iowa (where, incidentally, my closest aunt and uncle live) and I'm sure these will be tough, long hours since I doubt you'll be sleeping too much. This is a rarity for me, my contributing to any need of mojo, because I'm a mean bastard normally. Yet I read your mail as posted by our hero Wil and now I've got this catching breath and elusive tears of _mojo en route_ in my eyes. I can only figure it's due to me being weirdly sentimental during Thanksgiving week, or being tired as hell because it's a Monday, or because I can't help but remember how the night was when I went under the knife seven years ago in order to receive a transplanted kidney. Appreciate the fact that Katie will hardly remember (if at all) this very, very strange morning when she's older, with the unnatural white laboratory coats and the air filters around unseen lips and noses, and bright lights, and most importantly, the worry and fret and helpless love in her dad's face. Appreciate the fact that this insane situation will be over before you know it. My thoughts are with you & Katie. Thanks, Wil, for posting this. Posted by: Eric at November 26, 2002 12:47 AMYou are a class act Wil Wheaton. Class act... ;) Mojofication Factor 9, ENGAGED! Posted by: syndromes at November 26, 2002 01:03 AM:: mojo :: Posted by: John at November 26, 2002 01:12 AMWil... just asking is the 1st part... considerate it done... last year, (sept 2001) I had a routine I now am saving up for hip replacement... the result of a motorcycle and a small tree hiting 20 years ago.. after being run off the raod.. doctors said I would never walk again thankfully.. Doctors can be wrong... my cousin had to have a kidney transplant at the we (people) often make big things out of little fears... but as I have learned with 20 years of pain and with what aliments I have been through.. you would be surprised what humans can put up with... Of course, I have applied alot of there is much to be thankful for... the 1st is to realize that we can be thankfull I hope everyone reading this has a great holiday! peace be with you all Now this is a worthy cause! Done. Thanks for posting this, Wil! :) Posted by: frogger at November 26, 2002 01:44 AM*sending healing mojo* Posted by: ionicus at November 26, 2002 01:47 AMMuch mojo to Iowa City and Dearborne from a Michigan kid in Pasadena. Best of luck to you all. You'll be in my prayers. Posted by: Mike at November 26, 2002 01:54 AMI'll definitely be sending the mojo on. I'm in Missouri, I've had several friends who went to medical school at the University of Iowa, and I can tell you it's a REALLY great (and really beautiful) hospital. Everything will be just fine, I'm sure. Posted by: James Stuart at November 26, 2002 01:57 AMMarks mojo be floss & flying its way to you from New Zealand.

Mojo to Iowa. Mojo to Iowa! Posted by: Traska at November 26, 2002 04:19 AMAs a mother of a beautiful 16 month old boy, I can only imagine the fear and concern that Bob must be experiencing today. The mojo is overflowing for him and his daughter. I'll even say a couple of prayers. Posted by: Nicole at November 26, 2002 04:19 AMI am the mother of a 13 month old and 7.5 months pregnant. I cant imagine what Iowa is going through. Will totally pray for his baby, him, the doctors, the nurses, and the people God put in his life to support him. I know prayer works. Will ask Bible study to pray tonight. Mojo from Jakarta, Indonesia. If everyone in the world did this, be considerate to others and wish them the best, (instead of war, fear, terrorism, revenge) this planet will be one hell of a better place. Keep us posted.
This Mo's for you, Bob. :) And for your "Boodlie-Face". Clay Posted by: Clay at November 26, 2002 04:46 AMGod bless the little children. My prayers are with you. Posted by: CJ at November 26, 2002 04:53 AMHey there Bob. My dad actually does thoes operations a lot (he is a pediatric urologist). While I can't assure you that everything will be perfect, know that it does happen quite frequently.

Thanksgiving will be more than turkey and football for you this year I'm sure. Posted by: Zeno at November 26, 2002 05:09 AMMojo from Sydney too. Hope everything goes well and Katie has a long and happy life. Posted by: Nadia at November 26, 2002 05:14 AMPrayers and mojo going out for little Katie and her daddy. :) Posted by: Annakie at November 26, 2002 05:17 AMTo Bob, Katie, and Antika's mom- much mojo from NJ, which in my case means prayers. I'm sure everyone will come through their operations just fine. Do let us know how it went! :) Send my mojo as well! I had the same problem as a child and it resulted in recurrent kidney infections that left me hospitalized multiple times. I was lucky and grew out of the problem but had I not, I would have had to have the same surgery that Katie is having. Lots of mojo for Katie. She will be OK. Posted by: Cari at November 26, 2002 05:18 AMMojo received (re: twisted ankle and moving) should be given back. Actually, mojo is best circulated. :) Posted by: LittleGuy at November 26, 2002 05:26 AMMojo for Bob and his little Angel and some for Antika's Ma as well!

Hope it gets across the Atlantic in time. Not quite sure where Iowa actually is - somewhere in the middle I believe - so if someone sees some lost Mojo scratching its head and looking lost, please point it in the right direction. Thanks. Here's hoping all goes well. Posted by: The Rev at November 26, 2002 06:56 AMMy daughter has the same thing, to a lesser degree. Level 2 on both sides. I feel your pain. We're with you. Posted by: buntz at November 26, 2002 06:56 AMReal-Time Mojo from Texas! I hope your daughter gets through this alright. I know your predicament, my little brother had to have surgery when he was only a year and a half. Sending you lotsa good mojo from the High school computer lab in Indiana at 10:06 AM EST. Posted by: Jen at November 26, 2002 07:06 AMI know that I am a little late, but I hope that everything went well. (Please let us know!) Major mojo from Springfield, MA, for everyone who wants it. Get that universal love thing going on. i'm a believer in prayer. i have a sick family and the prayers go out all the time. since i was little, i always think of a dark map when i'm saying my prayers. whenever i've prayed for someone, i light up that part of the map in my head. by the time i'm done, there's little pockets of light all over the place. bob, i hope you can see that HUGE light coming in through the window of the waiting room. iowa is on fire in my head. wil wheaton, you kick ass. Posted by: karen at November 26, 2002 07:12 AMAs we drive by Iowa City tomorrow, and on our way home, we will send our best wishes.

Posted by: Jim at November 26, 2002 08:02 AMIm sure with all this mojo your little girl will be fine. It is amazing to see the internet work like this to really touch someone else's life. We all connect through a flickering screen, keyboard, and data bits sent through a wire, but somehow all that technology is transformed into human goodwill for a living, breathing person. Wil you rock, and best wishes to Katie, *Mojo*, she will be just fine. Posted by: Pat at November 26, 2002 08:14 AMGood Thoughts from southern MN. it's 10ish am and here's hoping everything went well. i kinda wish you're website or contact info had been included. if it's any help, i had ureter surgery over 20 years ago (yeah, i'm old). so if you want a personal perspective on this type of surgery, just holler.

Here's some more Wisconsin Mojo, a little late, but I hope it helps all the same. Have a speedy recovery, Boodie-Face! Hang in there, Dad. I know I'd be freaking out if my almost-four-year-old daughter needed an operation, so I'll be thinking about you and your family today. Let us know how things go, OK?

Everyone else has the surgery covered anyway. Mojo sent, from next door in South Dakota. :) Posted by: Celli at November 26, 2002 10:04 AM
The Operation are probably already over, but I'm sending some anyway.. As a new father (baby girl since a month and a half now), I can fully understand going crazy in these kinds of situations.

Here's some good ole southern mojo for her speedy recovery!! MOJO! Posted by: Alisha at November 26, 2002 10:14 AMIt is currently 11:51am CST and I will have to consign my mojo to the speedy post-operative recovery efforts. Please, Bob, accept my mojo as also a father of a 16 moth old girl with celiac disease as well and another child on the way. I understand the fear. I hope yours is conquered by a successful operation and a happy Katie. Posted by: The Slice at November 26, 2002 10:15 AMYou got it--since I'm late, here's post-op mojo heading east. Way to start my day off with sappy tears and perspective rearranging, too. Twice in two days that something on someone's weblog caused me to stop being such a whiner for a little while...

Posted by: odosbucket at November 26, 2002 11:08 AMAccording to a recent news article, most Americans can't find Iowa (or any other state) on a map. I pray all the mojo was sent to the right place. Let us know how it went. SHE WILL BE FINE, SHE WILL BE FINE, SHE WILL BE FINE. Just keep thinking this, it works every time my mum has another joint replacement. ( she has osteo-arthritis and is slowly turning into Jamie Summers!) Posted by: Dee at November 26, 2002 11:23 AMBelated healing Mojo for Katie.... From a Canadian who loves her American friends Posted by: ColleenS at November 26, 2002 11:29 AMI may be late to the mojo party, but I'm sending some more from Denver. I've got a friend out in Iowa, and my wife's mother's family used to live there. And it's *never* fun when someone you love has serious health problems; my wife's certainly had her share these past few years. You know, I'm told that, on The WELL, they call these expressions of good will and positive energy "beams." Whether they be called "beams" or "mojo," let's all hope they help Bob and his little girl Katie. Posted by: Erbo at November 26, 2002 11:30 AMBeast wishes and prayers for u and ur daughter Bob. She's going to be FINE. Posted by: JediPrincess at November 26, 2002 11:45 AMBob, be sure to let us all know how perfectly Katie's surgery went. mojomojomojomojo Posted by: Angela at November 26, 2002 11:45 AMHere, Iowa, have some Mojo on me. And 'lil Katie? Get well soon honey! Posted by: Claire at November 26, 2002 12:01 PMA little late, but here's some Alabama MOJOJOJO comin' your way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Posted by: Interplanet Janet at November 26, 2002 12:02 PMWashington DC Mojo headed your way. It's good Mojo I swear! It hasn't come in contact with any crooked politicians! Posted by: Mr Fibby at November 26, 2002 12:08 PMHere is tons of good Seattle MOJO to the Katie in Iowa Posted by: Terry at November 26, 2002 12:09 PMConsider my mojo spent...er, sent... Posted by: Conpedro at November 26, 2002 12:11 PMI never was a religious guy. I learned to pray when my 2nd child was born a bit early with some lung problems. I won't be facetious enough to say that I found God, but I sure did talk his ear off. By now, your little angel should hopefully be in post-op, but a little bit of Virginia mojo can't hurt for that recovery phase. And same for Antika's Mom as well. I like the comment the fellow from Indonesia made. The world would be a better place if there was more of this mojo flowing around. *hugs from a father of two, aged 30 months and 9 months* Posted by: Roy at November 26, 2002 12:26 PMI'm a bit late to the mojo party, but this just is too close to my personal life not to comment here anyway. I had a similar (if not the same?) reflux problem between my kidneys and my bladder when I was born... basically, the one-way valves from kidneys to bladder went both ways. One side fixed itself as I grew, and I had surgery when I was in third grade to fix the other side. At the time, my surgeon told me that the "smiley-face" scar that went all the way across my abdomen at the time would shrink, and I would grow, to the point where it would fit underneath a bikini without showing. Of course, as a third grader I had no interest whatsoever in bikinis... It was hard on my parents during those years before the surgery... we did everything they and the doctors could think of to prevent infections, and it worked. I couldn't take baths. I couldn't swim. I drank cranberry juice constantly. But I didn't have kidney infections which could have severely damaged my kidneys. The couple of weeks I spent at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis around Christmastime must have been hell for my parents. But I remember most of it, and I do have some good memories of it in addition to a couple of not-fun ones, and I especially remember the drive home. Mom had to be extra careful on the icey roads, but I gazed out the window at the near-magical snow and holiday lights and savored the feel of *going home*. I was back in school only a bit later, and followup tests showed that the surgery had worked. Dad taught me how to stick my face in the pool and blow bubbles the following year, which was a big step, and then I was enrolled in my first beginner swim class that summer. Mom has a photo of me jumping off the big diving board the following year, something that none of us really ever expected to see, back in the days before the surgery! I'm nearing thirty now, and have had no trouble since the refluxing was fixed. And now that I think about it, the surgeon was right about that bikini thing... though I'm still not that interested in wearing one! I'll be lighting a candle tonight for Katie and her daddy, and their whole family... You're in my thoughts and prayers, and since I grew up in Indiana, I've got no trouble at all visualizing Iowa. :-) Only saw this post now - sending healing thoughts. You take care. Posted by: Jodie at November 26, 2002 12:34 PMGoodthoughts on their way. Posted by: Bill Longley at November 26, 2002 12:44 PMHyper galactic sized mojo is winging your way... (A little late, but I hope it helps!) Posted by: Thespar at November 26, 2002 12:44 PMi had the same operation...in 1981! it saved my life and i'm grateful for it -- you've got all my mojo working for ya! Posted by: trish at November 26, 2002 12:46 PMAlthough it's been several hours since the "procedure", here's some Chevy Chase (from when he was funny) styled mojo to speed the recovery. Be the ball. NNNNNNANANananananananana. Amit C. Posted by: Amit C. at November 26, 2002 12:49 PMJapanese-Canadian Buddhist karma flowing towards Iowa for a swift and pain-free recovery! Let us know when the doctors say everything went well and the problem is fixed up! Posted by: Gloria Aoki at November 26, 2002 01:07 PMMy best belated Mojo coming your way. It'll take some time since I'm in England at the moment but it will get there =) Posted by: Glovefox at November 26, 2002 01:30 PMaustralian style mojo flying across the pacific as we speak. Posted by: billyjoebob & feistynoodle at November 26, 2002 02:41 PMMuch Mojo from Nashville. Sorry it's little late. Posted by: Ken at November 26, 2002 02:44 PMOk so have missed the operation Mojo so i'm sending post-op healing vibes... *does wavy arms and intense concentration face* I am 18 years older than my baby brother and every cold he has fills me with dread. An operation, no matter how complex must be worrying on a scale i cant imagine. Best wishes Posted by: EnglishBen at November 26, 2002 03:40 PM**healing and speedy recovery mojo** Posted by: Darzog at November 26, 2002 03:46 PMLots of healing and speedy recovery mojo going to Iowa. Will, you sent me mojo a while ago and that dream came true this summer!!! So if mojo helps, then I'm sending mine too!!!!!! mojomojomojomojomojomojomojomojomojomojomojomojomojo xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx *sends more healing mojo to Iowa and Michigan* Sorry I wasn't on time for your Mom, Antika! I send mojo to both for a very speedy and safe recovery! Posted by: Moonie at November 26, 2002 04:17 PMAack, a day late and a dollar short for operation Mojo, but lots of "successful procedure" and "speedy healing" Mojo is directed your way. Sending Some Indiana Mojo your way Katie and Bob!!!! Love, Lots of mojo sent! Best wishes from Texas to Bob and his daughter. :-) Canadian/American mojo, the best kind. Posted by: J. at November 26, 2002 06:53 PMI missed out on sending Mojo today, but I was experiencing something so similar that I hope that my Mojo was just out there by default. My husband had surgery this morning as well, at about 8:00am EST (it was supposed to be 7:30, but they were running late). It was a procedure that he has had many times, as the doctors haven't found a way to stop the bad from happening, only a way to try to keep putting it right again, over and over. He's had it done more times than I'd like to remember at this point, and he always comes out just fine... in some pain, but just fine. Still... every time, in the deepest parts of my heart and mind I am freaking out... terrified that this time something will go wrong... terrified that I will see that look on the doctor's face when she comes out to tell me how it went. So... here's some belated Mojo from someone who understands. I hope Katie is doing well. M Posted by: Melinda Beasi at November 26, 2002 07:25 PMFrom the father of a six year old little girl who is the sunshine of my life and my reason for living, I can not possibly know what you are feeling right now but all my mojo, prayers, thoughts and hopes are for Katie!! Posted by: Hugh at November 26, 2002 08:17 PMMojoooooooooo! Posted by: Joshua Sucher at November 26, 2002 08:22 PMI missed sending the MOJO at the right time as I was moving and still had not gotten everything unpacked. However, Bob, I am sending you my mojo, love, thoughts, prayers, heart, everything positive your way for a quick recovery so your baby girl can be back to being a mischievous lil monkey! I can relate to the wave of emotions one goes through at times like this as my son had 3 surgeries before the age of 3. He now is a very happy, healthy soon to be 5 year old, oh and very, very mischievous! Late mojo for the recovery process, and an early return home! BIG TEXAAAAAS MOJO BOB! Posted by: Brian at November 26, 2002 09:21 PMI am so sorry to be late with the mojo. The one day I don't read...tsk. I hope everything went well. Prayers and positive thoughts to Katie and your family Bob. Posted by: nancyann at November 26, 2002 09:36 PMLate...but still...GET BETTER FAST MOJO!!!!!!!!!! Posted by: bluecat/redblanket at November 27, 2002 05:46 AMI am a day late..but I give my best for recovery wishes! Keep us updated! I can definitely relate by being a parent with a first child.But even if it is a second or even if it is a stepchild, or a relative whomever it is...it is very hard to see someone go into surgery.But I am sure all will turn out well! God Bless.. Posted by: candace at November 27, 2002 07:47 AMBob- Way to go and congrats the turn out. Should make for a Happy Holiday Best wishes Chris in Clear Lake Posted by: Chris at November 27, 2002 08:13 AMHere's some mega-mojo to Bob and Boodlie Face from an Aussie in Toronto. Sorry, I only read about this today, so since the operation is over, then perhaps you can just save up all those positive vibes for another time when you need them. Take care. Posted by: Kat at November 27, 2002 09:19 AMThis is late, but there's always room for more mojo. Its on the way. Posted by: Tony Powell at November 27, 2002 11:21 AMVery late, and noticed only after Wil is talking about more [didn't really check the web yesterday or Monday that much :(], but ... well, recovery post-op mojo to Boodlie-Face, then ... and sympathy/happiness/good vibes to Bob, too. Hope all heals up well. Bob and Boodlie Have A Posse. :-) Posted by: Mike Harris at November 27, 2002 12:04 PMAs a recipient of much mojo for my daughter (who has endured surgeries beyond number in her 6 short years) I am SO sorry that I didn't read this entry until today. I am sending healing thoughts, white light, and many prayers toward Bob and Katie...I know the power of these good thoughts, and I have no doubt that they helped. {{{hugs}}} Posted by: Kim at November 27, 2002 01:18 PMLate mojo sent to help heal Booglie Face and allow Bob and his wife to breathe a little easier now. Posted by: Angelwwolf at November 27, 2002 02:20 PMAll the best Mojo from Ireland. I have plenty to spare.... Am glad the operation went well. She'll be fine. Posted by: Colman at November 27, 2002 03:24 PMGlad to hear the op went well, best wishes for a speedy recovery! :D As they say, better late than never....

Hope all is well, TM Posted by: Matrix at November 27, 2002 09:03 PM*Post-op Mojo for Southeast Wisconsin* Posted by: Joshua at November 28, 2002 10:18 PMI just wanted to let all of you know that Katie is doing just grandly. She is home now, and her recovery is going even better than the operation. I simply cannot thank all of you enough, other than to say, "Thank you." - Bob Roth, WWDN fan Major Mojo and hugs and luv and prayers!!! She'll get well soon!
