Debbie Thompson's surgery went well Monday. She had 2 retinal tears which caused the bleeding she'd experienced for 5 weeks and ultimately caused the detached retina and detached macula. The surgeon lasered the 2 tears and put in the gas bubbles to reattach the retina and macula. She goes back today to have the patch removed. It will be a few weeks before she knows

Julia Parker's appointment with her doctor was not good Monday. She was told she has some nodules on her lungs now. They're going to do a PETscan and take biopsies. Looks like this will be in 3 weeks. They think it's cancer but don't know for sure. She was told the "good news" was they're on the outside and not inside. If they are, they want to do chemo. The blood clot in her stomach has her on blood thinner now. If this does not clear up, she was told it could be cancer. The pancreatic cancer has not grown.

Bonnie Ratcliffe is home now - was in the hospital for a couple of days. They determined she had TIA'S (the small deep strokes). She also has afib and is on a heart monitor now for about another 1 1/2 weeks. Afib runs in her familiy.

Judy Price's cataract surgery went very well Tuesday and she's already seeing better. She'll then have the other eye in November.

Danny Lemon on hospice now with aggressive leukemia.

Marilyn Evans is going to have surgery the 1st of the year for her hernia (as long as it doesn't go into an emergency need). She's trying to work out care for Chuck since the doc told her not to lift anything weighing more than a quart of milk! Prayers needed for this!

Linda Deisher severe back problems and daily migraines. Appointment with her neurologist had to be rescheduled for next month due to her doctor having an emergency. Also her unbearable grief over her daughter Pam's death.

Randy Minnix had a scope last Friday and they determined the bleeding is coming from radiation he had for his prostate cancer. Thankfully no cancer found now, but nothing they can do to stop the bleeding when it occurs. Said something he's just going to have to live with going forward.
