Map to Debbie's Celebration of Life ~ from Lawton

Celebration of Life

There will be a Celebration of Debbie's Life on Saturday, November 13 at 2:00 pm at the Medicine Park Chapel.  A reception to follow, details will be available shortly.

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers for the family.

Our Loss

We are saddened by the loss of Debbie.  She passed away this afternoon.  She will be cremated and there will be a memorial service in West Virginia as well as one in Oklahoma.  No arrangements have been made at this time.  Please keep her husband and children as well as Martha and her siblings in your prayers. 

I will post more information as it becomes available.

Prayer Request for Debbie

Please pray for Debbie.  She is in the hospital.  She has an impacted colon and is extremely septic.  Her blood pressure is low (60/40) and has an infection in her entire abdomen.  The doctors are concerned her organs will start shutting down.  Pray for her healing and for her husband, Gary, and their girls.  Aunt Martha and Loetta are on their way to Virginia today.

Russ is home.

Russ is at home resting.  He was released today before noon and is glad to be out of the hospital.  He was in his recliner, watching football when we left him today.  He still feels pretty crummy and needs your prayers for a full recovery.  He has gallstones and will probably need surgery soon for those. 

Will post more when there is any new news.

Update on Russ

Danny and I just got back from visiting Russ in the hospital. They are going to keep him a little longer. He has been having abdominal pain and fluid retention. Did a cat scan - waiting on results. He is up and smiling, just wish the tummy pain would go away. Keep those prayers going.. Thank you, ~diane~

EV

EV had back surgery yesterday and is doing well. He will be going to rehab. Please pray that he will continue to heal and the rehab will go well...

Russ is getting better...

Prayer Request for Uncle Russell

Wanted to let everyone know that Uncle Russell had a heart attack this morning.  They replaced his stint with a larger one.  He is in the Cardiac ICU right now and it is critical; but he is stable.  Mom and Dad along with Cheryl are with him now.  Please pray for his heart to heal.  I will update when I know anything new.

Love to all.
Amy

Heaven Rejoices and so do we . . .

ISBELL REUNION SLIDE SHOWS ARE HERE - FINALLY !!!

WARNING:  There are 305 slides on the Family Reunion slide show and 271 slides on the Adventure day.  This will take a little of your time to watch.  It may be boring to some (Danny & Russ), but to the female family members and kids (maybe some of the men) --- I think you will enjoy watching it.  I had fun making the slide shows.  Get your coffee or coke or Dr. Pepper, get comfy, and enjoy The Reunion once again.  Consider it Family History for your kids to enjoy someday . Hugs to all ~diane~

Two injured in explosion
area men air-evacuated to burn unit, sheriff indicates ‘serious condition’

BRAY — Faron Pierce of Duncan, and Ricky Faust, of Foster, were severely injured Thursday in Bray, when oil field equipment they were working on exploded. The explosion happened just after 2 p.m.
Stephens County Sheriff Wayne McKinney said both men were transported by helicopter to the burn center in Oklahoma City. He said the burns were extensive, covering the entire upper torso, face, hands and groin areas.
As of 5 p.m. Thursday, McKinney said both men were in “extremely serious condition.”
“Both were extremely burned,” McKinney said.
McKinney said the cause of the explosion, which took place at Eagle Iron and Metal, on State Highway 29, east of Marlow, was unknown.
When the call came in, there was an immediate response from numerous law enforcement, firefighters and other public safety personnel, as the seriousness of the explosion was yet to be determined.
Members of the Stephens County Sheriff’s Department, Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and other emergency departments tended to the scene for about two hours.
SH 29 was closed for about an hour, as traffic was diverted, so emergency personnel could work the scene and the helicopters were brought in for the immediate transfer of Faust and Pierce.
McKinney said OHP was on the scene about three minutes following the explosion. It took members of the sheriff’s department about seven minutes to get to the scene. “We have more people working the road now,” McKinney said.

Heaven update

Angel - She is in recovery. No surgery at this time. Will re-exam in a week. Still lots of pain. But will start physical therapy and occupational therapy soon. Thank you for all the prayers.

Friday
Venius - Heaven update: We went to see her after getting back from our Vegas trip. She was the passenger in the car driven by her husband and they were T-boned on Heaven's side. The accident happened in Stillwater. Her pelvis on the right side is broken in 5 places, broken clavicial on the left side and sprained left ankle.

Angel - We are waiting on the dr to come in. Exploratory surgery. We found out that they are so full they diverted patients to other hospitals yesterday. There are no rooms. Patients out in the hall. She hasn't had anything to eat or drink in. Preparing for exploratory surgery.

Angel - 9 a.m.  -  They just took her for a vein scan to check for clots.

Angel - 10:30 a.m. -  She is next in line for surgery. Looking to see if the bones move. If not stable they will immediately do the necessary surgery.

Heaven

Thursday

Angel - Better day. Still lots of pain . Will be going for more tests today and doing minor physical therapy. Specialists still holding out on the surgery verdict.

Angel - My little princess.

Angel - Princess Heaven in the early afternoon.
