Hey Ellen. I usually don't get a chance to watch your show because i'm usually at work...but i'm home today because i slipped on ice a few days ago and broke my foot. I luv your sense of humour. Enjoyed your show today with Minni Driver. I also heard how you are giving away free i-pod nanno...that would probably come in handy while i sit and re-cooperate from my injury.

I can't find where you go to enter to receive one of those I-Pods you gave away today. I would love to get one. I have NEVER won much of anything in my life. And I am a senior who watches your show EVERY day... LOVE IT.
I usually don't laugh very much, but while I am watching your show, YOU do make me laugh... thank you for that... I need more of that in my life.

I have never even had any of these new kind of gadgets for listening to music. I still have a 'Walkman' ... crazy right?

If you choose me to get an I-Pod email me and I will send you my address.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

A faithful watcher,

Hi Ellen, Happy Pattys Day. I started watching your show when I moved to PA to care for my mother-in law who has now passed. NOW, I cant turn you off, thanks, your so much fun. I know how you love our babies and would like to share mine with you. He is 11yr old, has a 138 IQ. He is in a gifted class at Lehman Jackson Elem. His teacher has nominated him to go to Washington D.C. this summer(2008) He was to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference. One of few in the NATION. We can't afford to send him but I'd love to borrow a CD recorder and tape you say "hi and congrads". It would be so cool for his name to be heard on TV. Thank you for being you.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, Ellen. I love your show - you're the best! We need more "Ellens" in the world. Would you ever consider running for President? You would have my vote.

Hi Ellen and All Ellen Fans,

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

I saw the following post on another board and was very touched. So I thought I would copy the post and add it to as many boards as I could.

My thoughts are that maybe if all of us fans get behind this - maybe, just maybe, Ellen and Crew can help make this happen for Kyle. I am sure that it will be easy enough to verify all that is said in the post.

I don't know Kyle or the family, I am just touched by the story and would really like to see this happen for him. So how about it fans....can you all help me to reach Ellen about this young man?

I am doing it myself just because it puts a smile on my face to think that maybe as a group we can give Kyle a Birthday he'll never forget. I hope you'll all read the post and help me reach out to Ellen on Kyle's behalf. Thanks in advance for reading the post and any comments you post to Ellen! Here is a cool fact about Kyle he is the fourth Great Nephew of Wild Bill Hickok.

Here is the post: I am going to change it a bit to make it easier to read, but I will not change any of the words.

Ellen, PLEASE HELP!! there's this un-remarkable Kid named Klye Kickok who has pretty much spent a greater part of his life in the hosptial, Kyle is 11 going on 50, 4'11" he weighs about 70lbs, he has a BIG, round,sparkly,eyes, And an Awesome Smile that lights up the whole room,He is quit the prankster.

When Kyle was born on Mar.25th ,1996 he was 5 weeks early, An had troubles right off ,the docs tried for awile to figure him out, he had tons of tests.he first went to Childrens in Seattle when he was 8 months old they thought he had leukemia ,but he didn't, more tests and a couple years later his family found out he had a clotting disease called factor5 liden, and it had clotted off his portal vein ,so it was slowly making his liver fail,

when he was 5, he had a surgery for a twisted bowel,then when he was seven he had a 11hr operation to take out his spleen and make him a spleenal-renal shunt, it lasted only a couple years.then he had a 16 hr op..to take out his gallbladder and make a meso-caval shunt,

He has a heart murmur and his kidneys and lungs have trouble because of his liver failure, Kyle has had pneumonia more times then anyone can count and lots and lots of transfusions and tons and tons of meds..He went on the liver transplant list on Jan 29th 2007 and have been waiting since.all his life has been doc's and hospitals he don't know any different really. You would think that with all those problems he would have had his share of mountains to climb,but as fate would have it that wasn't to be.

On Dec.22nd he woke up with horrible headache and super sensitive to light and sound and started vomiting, His Mother, who I must say has been a rock through all of this. Took him to the doc and they thought he had meningitis so wanted to do a spinal tap but couldn't because of the blood thinners so they did a CT scan and found a burst brain aneurism

so they flew Kyle right away to Harborveiw in Seattle where they found that not only did the little guy have 1 but 7 aneurisms so into surgery. 3 in 4 days to do a thing called coiling, while fixing 3 of them he had two little strokes on the right side of his brain but they were very little, but all of the contrast they were using caused him to go into full renal failure and congestive heartfailure, but true to his tough, superhero, nature and all of the prayers, He is still fighting.

they moved Kyle to childrens on Jan2nd so he could start dialysis to help his kidneys and get off the extra 20 pounds of fluid this little body was holding onto,He has a long way to go to get better.

Kyle has been such a strong, fighter and it seems just when he finishs with one surgery an recovering from that something else comes along and not so much knockes him down but is thrown on his plate to deal with,

The reason Im writting Ellen is that Kyle will be turning 12 on March 25.He is such a caring and kind kid when Make A Wish Foundation wanted to give him a wish One of his original wish's was to have dinner with Emeril Legasse and Rod Stewart.

But since Kyle is the most giving, sharing kid, what he ended up asking for was a vacation that his whole family could ALL enjoy!, But that Vacation never happened due to being in the hosp.

So with ending this Im just asking if you could Please put Kyle in touch with Emeril, Rod or even someone like the Cyrus family, as he is way into Hannah Montana as well it would be amazing! Even if it was a phone call or email or letter... Just something spectacular and uplifting for this amazing Kid on his b-day. Thank you so much Ellen. Andrea Wood, Kalispell Montana
