Tuesday

It is God himself who has made us what we are

and given us new lives from Christ Jesus;

and long ages ago he planned that we should spend these lives

in helping others.

~Ephesians 2:10 (LB)~

 


Jean Westmoreland Williams

I am asking for prayers for my cousin,she suffered a stroke and is in icu in olol hospital,she is the daughter of Jean westmoreland williams…Thanks In Advance,Lisa (Westmoreland)

 

Boyd Hatchel is improving.  He was able to run an errand with Madison’s assistance yesterday.  The suitcases are out of storage and hopefully will be packed soon.  YEAH!

 

This morning Dr. Ted said Momma is doing great.  Most of the tubes were removed the last two days.  The vent is being removed now.  Momma has been breathing on her on and is not dependent on the vent.  I think she will be moved back to telemetry soon.  My sisters and I are taking 24 hour shifts plus visiting when “off”.  Daddy is visiting daily.  Please continue to pray  for Momma and for out extended family.

Shawn Paul Edward remains in the hospital and doing about the same.  Please continue to pray for Shawn Paul, his family, and the staff of OLOL taking care of him.  The family will appreciate your prayers.

I’ll post more later.

CaringBridge: Caroline Cutrer

Sunday, July 3rd, 2011 10:09 PM

Caroline has been given three chemo treatments so far.  The fourth is scheduled for Tuesday in the spinal fluid & port. According to her doctor, her counts have been lowered considerably.  She appears to be doing well, is getting accustomed to the short hair, but is also getting into the wig styling.  Candace says she doesn’t want long hair again.

Caroline is receiving lots of attention from family and friends. She is getting out of her room and doing some walking, or shall I say, Sherman is doing the walking pulling Caroline in her wagon.  On a daily basis, she wants to go sit in the car, the only familiar thing she has there.  As we know Caroline, it is an obvious plot to get a ride home.

Momma’s surgery went better than was hoped for.  Her beginning phase of recovery is doing well.  If she continues to do well, we will probably be at North Oaks for a week and then North Oaks Cardiac Rehab (Old West Park) for a couple of weeks.
