Olla Family!!
Well here is a mom update!! Took her for her back x-rays today and there is NO fractures. She does have degenerative disc disease this is normal for her age and a very curved spine, which she has always had. She is just going to have to learn to take it a little slower and easier (yeah right, have been preaching that for the last few years). She is a very lucky woman not to have fractured her back with her fall on the 20th. She goes for her bone scan the 14th will send you all an update about that.
Also according to mom, she has dibs on the cook's room at the reunion and all she is going to do is sit on the porch in her comfortable chair & watch and talk to her family!! Told her she has earned that honor!!
Gotta go,
Luv ya,
Lisa

Randy: Set Back
Randy Update,
Poor Randy has a huge backward's step. He started having quite a bit of pain Wednesday, right before he was to be released to come home & the doc prescribed him a shot of Thorazine (big mistake). Don't know if any of you remember how Grandpa Baysinger re-acted to it when they gave it to him but Randy has done the same thing. It basically sent him out in la-la land!! He has been delusional ever since they gave it to him. Needless to say it cancelled his release. They have kept him all today & may release him tomorrow only if he is back with us mentally. I just feel so saddened & sorry for him. Aunt Martha forgot to call & update me until this pm so now I am updating all of you.
Also mom goes for her back x-rays tomorrow & her bone scan on the 14th. Will let you all know when I know.
Love to you all,
Lisa

Lisa's Must-Haves
Ok here is my top 10 list of must haves for the reunion!!
1. I agree a matt or (I use a disposable table cloth) (felt side up) by the side of my bed. Then you can throw it away on the last day. It's bad enough thinking there is a scorpion in there w/me, don't want to have to deal w/dirt.
2. A flash light for the late nite trips to & from the bathroom, can't step on some poor, unsuspecting rattlesnake or scorpion. You have to give them a fair shot to get out of the way.
3. Flip flops for the shower or while wading in the lake, too many beer bottles and trash in the lake to take the chance on a cut foot.
4. Camera to record all the posed and unposed for pictures.
5. Bug bombs (A BIG MUST HAVE), to get rid of all unwanted, unwelcome, and uninvited guests in your cabin BEFORE you move your stuff in.
6. A good book for that much looked forward to quiet time.
7. A good crafting project for the much looked forward to free/down time.
8. Plenty of band-aids, anitbiotic ointment, q-tips, general 1st aid stuff for the much anticipated and hopefully missed oopsies.
9. Tennis shoes for when you decide on going for that walk to the dam or up the mountain & you don't really want to get a lot of sand in your flip flops.
10. A really, really good appetite for all of the food that I will eat and mentally preparing for all the dishes that will need to be washed.
And here is an added thought, remember there will be happy and sad times at the reunion, someone always gets their feelings hurt and someone else will get mad. But look back on the years & remember the ones who are no longer with us and say a prayer of thanks for those of us who are still here and just thank the Good Lord above because we are FAMILY AND WE HAVE EACH OTHER!!

Amy's Must-Haves
Since no one shared their must-haves for the reunion, I thought I would give you my top five must-haves for the reunion.
In no particular order,
1. sunscreen: no sunburns for this girl or her little ones.
2. tennis shoes: after a day on the concrete floors, my legs hurt if I don't wear my tennis shoes.
3. lawn chairs: I like a comfy chair to sit in outside.
4. a bath mat or rug by my bed: I hate crawling in bed only to realize I had dirt on my feet and have now put it in the bed. A quick rub on the rug and I am dirt free.
5. flip flops: You must bring a pair of flip flops to wear in the shower. We all know the bathrooms are a little to be desired and a good pair of flip flops puts some space between you and the floor.
Now, it is your turn. Share with the rest of us your must-haves.

Minnie: Dr. Appt. for Back Pain
Mom update, Dr. Sabedra is sending her to Duncan Regional for x-rays b/c they have better machines than we do. He isn't for sure if she has fractured her back or tailbone but does want to check to be sure. She was really hurting when she was here & admitted she should have come in earlier. He is also sending her for a bone density scan & she may need to go back & see her neurologist again. Will know more after the tests r run. Tests should be tomorrow but don't have a set time yet. She is so fragile!!
I promise to keep you all updated. You will know almost as soon as I do.
Gotta go,
Luv ya,
Lisa

Randy: Radiation Treatments
Received yesterday:
.
So far Randy has been doing wonderful w/his treatment. He has even surprised the doctors. He hasn't suffered the immense pain that usually accompanies this treatment. He has had more problems w/his acid reflux. If all goes well today, he will be released in the am. According to Dr. Stokes he will have to have at least 1 more treatment due to the largeness of the main tumor. He also has developed 2 small tumors in the right lobe of his liver so he is confident that 1 more treatment will completely kill all of the tumors off and then God Willing he will be put back at the top of the transplant list.
Keep up the prayers!!
