Angie Firebaugh is getting a 2nd opinion regarding the treatment she needs since having her breast cancer surgery. Her appointment is tomorrow at 11 am at the Moffitt Center in Tampa, FL. It's one of the best cancer hospitals in the U.S.  Continued prayers for the wisdom to make the right decisions.

Julia Parker saw her surgeon yesterday. The cancer on her pancreas is very small and just happened to be in a place that caused her duct to become blocked (which they stented Friday). They did blood work today and they're doing a CT today. This will tell the surgeon and her team exactly what they need to do. They're thinking some form or chemo to further shrink it and since it's so small to then be able to operate to remove it. This seems to be some very encouraging news! She's meeting with them Monday.

Sherry Kidd's new pacemaker surgery went well today and is home.

Lexi Carter is doing good from her surgery yesterday and home now! She still can't hear out of her left ear and the doctor yesterday told her it could take 2-3 months for that to come back! So prayers it comes sooner.

Donnie Noel's fibrosis lung disease. He FINALLY received his medication today and is starting it. He's been told the medication will effect his liver so pray it won't cause serious damage. Also pray he won't experience the other possible gastro side effects. His urologist did call today with the good news that the bladder cancer is gone! For 1 year every 4 months he will have a cystoscopy to check and be sure it doesn't return.  

Lenore Burger doctor called with the culture results and PRAISE THE LORD NO CANCER! She just has heavy inflammation. So he's putting her on some strong antibiotics for 4 weeks. Then she'll go back for follow up.

Sandra Austin has started her 12 weeks of chemo. She has it every Wednesday . They're trying to shrink the tumor before doing surgery. If this doesn't work, they will try a stronger chemo. 2 down, 10 to go.

Sharon Kidd is having shoulder replacement surgery Monday at RMH.

Charlene McKnight's MOH's surgery for skin cancer went well last week. 

Sandra Rigney had a pacemaker put in last week. She went to her doctor today and her blood count is too high (almost to level would need to be put back in the hospital - like about 7.5 and 8 or higher would've put her back in). Told what to do to bring it down and to stop the coumadin. She goes back Monday to be re-checked.

Doug Moore is home now. Thankfully the tests didn't show any problems.

Brenda Sink's cancer is back. She's found out she's not a candidate for surgery because it's spread too much. She's refused chemo so waiting to find out if she's a candidate for immunotherapy. Should know in a week.

Pat Donahue recovering from eye surgery (epiretinal membrane).

Dottie Shupe recovering from thyroid surgery.

Joe Sutliff  is at Our Lady of the Valley going through rehab for surgery on broken ankle. They put her in a hard cast Monday.

Barbara Wieringa will be moving here from South Carolina soon. (Wendy Milliron's mom)

Patricia Beavers' tests have confirmed she has Alzheimer's disease. She will meet with her neurologist on Nov. 25 to go over his recommendations.

Shannon Stinson is having back surgery December 10. 

Kristi Blake is having surgery December 20.

Debbie Thompson is experiencing her pancreas making too much insulin. She's taking some medication to see if it will bring her insulin level down. So far it seems to be helping some.

Sabrina Wood hurt back and in a lot of pain - trying to set up back surgery.

Jo Ann Aldrich is at Brandon Oaks for rehab from her recent fall and breaking her right hip, arm and wrist. Her number to her room is (540) 283-8603 if you'd like to give her a call. Hoping to get the rod and pins out of her wrist this week!
