Lisa's Update 11/30/07

Well hello loved ones!!

Thought I would give you all an update on the happenings around here.

Randy is still MIA or AWOL, whichever way you want to look at it. There has been no activity on his bank acct since Nov 5th & needless to say we are all quite concerned. She will contact the bank again after the 1st to see if he withdraws any money & where. Aunt Martha & Sherrill went down to the Marlow PD & filed a missing person report on him, Tuesday (Happy BD to Sherrill) so now there is a statewide APB out on him. I understand that this is normal behavior for Randy but w/his health concerns now, it isn't wise or good that he did this. He hasn't been seen at any of his usual coffee hang outs or contacted any of his friends. They are contacting Aunt Martha asking her if she has heard from him yet. We really need prayers on his behalf.

Now for more bad news, Sherrill Wayne has been diagnosed with a tumor in his right upper lung lobe. He has known this for about a month but didn't want to worry everyone & ruin their Thanksgiving holidays. I went with him for his CT scan which confirmed the spot discovered by his chest x-ray. He has a tentative appointment for a PET scan on Dec 11th to get a more defined & refined look at it. At this time the CT results stated that it was "fibrotic" but did recommend a PET scan. Dr. King is managing his care along with his nosy, intrusive cousin Lisa. The tumor is round and smooth in appearance which is indicative of non-malignancy. After the PET scan it will be decided as to whether a biopsy is needed or just monitoring for the next few months. If you all would like to mail him a card at 813 W. Seminole Marlow, OK. Aunt Martha took the news well after she pinned me to the wall & told me not to hide things from her & not to lie to her!! Boy they make em tough in this family!! He is also accepting treatment for his bi-polar-ism. At last another in this family admits that we have a problem w/depression & that quite a few of us need help. So more prayers are needed!!

Mom has been ok so far this week. No more chest pains, she says I scared them completely out of her but am watching her closely as well. Again more prayers!!

It was such a pleasure to see all of you last Saturday. There is nothing to help re-light your fires, re-kindle your hope and re-fresh your faith than a good dose of a family gathering filled with love. Mom did really well I think, we talked Sunday and went over who gave her the gifts and whether she should send out thank you notes, told her not to worry about them, you all knew she was thankful. I only had to tell her 4 times in the course of a 20 minute phone call who gave her the pajama's (Amanda).

Well will close & get back to work, my love to you all.

Prayer Request for Minnie

MINNIE's HEALTH (email from Lisa) ---- Just thought I would let you know that Mom (Minnie) is having some chest pain, it started on Thanksgiving Day & again last night. Am not for sure if it is her heart or her hiatal hernia. It lasted about 3 to 4 hours on Thanksgiving day & not quite as long last night (11/27). I have called her cardiologist this am, explained symptoms & they are putting a message back to his nurse. She will call & visit w/mom then they will decide if they need to work her in asap or just give her an appt sometime soon. Explained to her that mom had already forgotten that she had chest pain on Thursday, so she might not be to informative, so they agreed to call me if they needed to here at work.

11/28 - The cardiologist's nurse visited w/her yesterday & agreed that she needs to be seen, so they set an appt for 12/18 in Chickasha UNLESS mom's has another episode, then she is to come directly to Dr. Williams office & they will work her in. She had a small twinge last night but seems more tired than usual. I am going to call the cardiologist & see if he wants us to run an EKG here at the clinic on her. I believe that she won't make it to the 18th that she will be seen before then. Will keep you all updated

Minnie's 80th Birthday

On Saturday, we all celebrated Minnie's 80th Birthday. There were about 30 in attendance. We had lots of good food to eat and great company to share. Some played 42 and skipbo while others visited. We missed all of you who could not make it. Enjoy the slideshow.

~~~~~
Our Grandma Minnie is turning eighty.

We'd like to tell you about this great lady.

~

I would love for you a song to sing.

But instead I will tell you a few of our favorite things.

~

Minnie has alway dressed to impress with dangly earrings and fancy high heels

Turquoise jewelry, painted nails, hair done tall with all the frills.

~

She can cook, she can bake, she can clean a house tip-top and neat.

But on her couch you better not prop your feet.

~

Her garden is always full of flowers to admire and veggies to share.

With lots of things to can, her cupboards were never bare.

~

She is our grandmother we love her so dear.

To our sweet Grandma Minnie, let's all give a cheer.

I need pictures! I have some but obviously not enough, and some are just not very flattering. I try not to publish unflattering pictures. Send them to me if you have them. Thanks. raschlup2007@msn.com

BINGO!

We will be having a night of bingo at the reunion this year. Start looking for prizes to contribute. The only criteria for prizes is that it be something you would want to win. I am excited. It should be lots of fun.

Also, does anyone have a bingo game we can use. We will purchase one if we need to but it would be a lot better to borrow.
