**********************************************************************************************************

7-28-2010   LaWanna Gann's surgery went well.  She is in room 229

7-27-2010   Please keep LaWanna Gann in your prayers.  She will be having hip replacement surgery on Wednesday, July 28th.

7-21-2010  Please continue to pray for Marge's continued healing.  She has been moved to the nursing area of Via Christi Village.

7-21-2010  Please continue to pray for Clarice Payne.   The grafting in her left leg is closed off, so there is no blood flow in that leg.  The grafting will be redone in Oklahoma City.  They are still in the process of scheduling the procedure.  Her great granddaughter, Makayla Flores had a CAT scan done this morning.  They are awaiting the results of the test.

7-20-2010 We would appreciate your prayers for our family.  Norma's step-brother, Jerry Gould, has been diagnosed with kidney cancer and low-grade prostate cancer.  He will be having surgery to remove his kidney within the next two or three weeks. Also, our granddaughter Jessica Grimes has been diagnosed today with a melanoma on her leg.  It is relatively small, so we're hopeful that further surgery will be able to get any cells remaining after the biopsy.  We will be taking her to Stillwater to the dermatologist tomorrow.  Thanks so much...Pete and Norma

7-19-2010   Jim's Scott's mother, Helena, passed away this afternoon in the Independence, Ks hospital. She went in Wednesday for pneumonia and sepsis.  Jim was with her this afternoon when she took her last breath. The arrangements are not complete
but there will be a memorial service in Independence, KS and burial later in Bethany, Missouri.  Thanks for your prayers.> Carol

7-16-2010  Please keep Marge Howard in your prayers.  She fell and broke her hip.  She is having surgery today.

7-16-2010 Please keep Allan Coppock in your prayers.  He fell yesterday and injured his shoulder.  The doctor said that nothing was broken, but he is in a lot of pain.

7-15-2010 Please keep Gene and Sally Warner's grandson Zachary in your prayers. He was admitted to the hospital this morning and diagnosed with juvenile diabetes . They are running further tests to regulate his blood sugar .
