Whitney

I wanted to thank those who asked about my sister Whitney. She has been having back problems and is scheduled for an x-ray today. She has had an MRI. I'm assuming the results will be in shortly. She has difficulty sitting for long periods of time. They are considering a traction treatment where they stretch you to line your vertebrae back up. :( Sounds a little like mid-evil torture to me but whatever works. In any case, maybe she will feel better soon and be back at church.

Milt Jr.

Milt is recovering in ICU at ECM after his motorcycle accident. For those who haven't heard, a dog ran out in front of him on Snake Road as he was on his way to church Wednesday. He has a broken collar bone, several broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung, along with some severe scrapes and bruises. The doctors are anticipating a recovery, but at best he'll be in quite a bit of pain for some time.

Eugene and James Cagle Family Update

Uncle Eugene has had a heart attack. He is in CCU at ECM in stable condition. His right artery was 100% blocked and his left is partially blocked. They put 3 stints in his right artery. I will update as I learn more.

Dandan (James) is probably going to get to come home tomorrow (Tuesday). I spent the night with him last night and he is gaining strength back. His blood sugar is good, as well as his BP. Dr. Schreeder, his oncologist, believes the bleeding is from the upper GI and was made worse because of his blood thinner. He does not think a colonoscopy will be necessary. He is eating solid food and has had all tubes disconnected from him! He is so glad to be able to move around freely!

Mammaw (Willa Jean) had some physical therapy this morning. She is still very weak, but is trying her best to get better. She said Saturday how much she misses her Sunday school class!

Please continue to pray for all of them.

Grandmama Elaine Update

Just thought I would post an update on Grandmama Elaine. She has received two units of blood and will have a chemotherapy treatment today. Surgery to remove the mass in her abdomen is not going to take place soon, due to her recent heart attack. The good news is that her doctor is going to allow her to come home today. We will be glad to have her back home! My mother will hopefully be bringing Grandmama and Granny (Donna Rea) home this evening. Please pray for their return as well as for Grandmama's health.

James

Hi everyone,

Here is the latest as of 12:15 a.m. James (Dandan!) has been admitted to ICU at Huntsville Hospital. They are giving him 2 units of blood. He is bleeding in his stomach. They will run tests in the morning to find out the cause. Could be several things, but most likely an ulcer. When he arrived at the hospital his BP was 93/56 and dropped as low as 86/48. After they got his IV started, it came up to 59 on the bottom. Mom is staying there tonight and Carolyn is with Mammaw. I will try to update everyone later. Please keep him in your prayers! I am praying for Ms. Elaine as well! :)

Keith's mom is home and improving some. She is on oxygen at all times. We are keeping a close watch on her. His brother is supposed to be here Friday to help out. Please continue to pray for June and Keith. He is pretty stressed out right now since he is the only child here.

One more prayer request for me. I have iritis in my right eye. It is very painful and hard to see out of my eye. Please pray for it to heal quickly. I need to be able to help my family! Thanks! Love to all!

Gayla

I'm sure many of you already know that James and Joan's grandaughter, Gayla, passed away yesterday. Visitation will be tomorrow night at Rogersville Funeral Home, and the funeral will be Friday. When I spoke with Joan earlier today she still didn't know the time of the visitation or funeral.

And changing the subject, Grandmama Elaine will be having surgery to remove another mass in her abdomen, probably tomorrow, but we still aren't sure. Please pray for her, and please pray for strength for our mother.
