Three More Days

SSgt David Whetstone is coming to town! He will arrive late Monday night. All friends and family are invited to stop by our house any time on Tuesday or Tuesday afternoon/evening to visit, say HI, and generally to welcome our Hero home. Dave is finally stationed back on Home Soil, in Washington State, after having done a tour in Iraq and then a year in Korea. He is the NCOIC (Non-Commissioned Officer In Charge) of resources at his shop in Washington. After arriving there, he bought a new car (Scion), got an off-base apartment (yaay, no more dorm!), made sure everything in his charge at the Shop was in order for an official base-wide Inspection, and then took off for a month vacation. He's in California now, visiting step-bro Mark, and then will come to Arizona for a five day visit. If you cannot stop by the house on Tuesday, you are most welcome to telephone 602-843-4049 and give him a verbal Hello and welcome home. We'll have snacks and drinks, and the swimming pool will be open to all ~~ do I sound excited? I can hardly contain myself. Hope to see you Tuesday!

Dear David,

Welcome home! We are all so happy that you are Stateside again. What are your plans now, after visiting family and friends? We would love to see you, but I guess that will have to wait for another year or so. In the meantime, ENJOY!

Saddest News - Melonie Schollmeyer

Image
I don't even know how to write this. We are all so very sad. Melonie Schollmeyer, a vibrant woman, our relative and friend, became suddenly ill over the weekend and passed away. Details at this point are sketchy. **(The following is updated info as of noon Monday)** Melonie's children, Brittany and Robert, just had their Confirmation on Saturday evening. Melonie was not feeling well enough to attend, and stayed at home with flu-like symptoms. Afterward the children, Mary, and Cheryl all visited with Mel before going taking the children to spend the night with Tom. The next day Cheryl and Mary could not raise Melonie by telephone and so asked Tom to go see how she was doing. He did so (thankfully the children stayed in the car) and found Melonie had passed away in the bedroom. The Medical Examiner's Office is doing an autopsy to determine the cause of death. Mary Wroten, Mel's mom, and her sister Cheryl Wroten, are understandably still in somewhat of a shock today. I am ...

Edith Admitted to Hospital Again

Rick reports that his mom had been overdosed on Coumidin - an extremely dangerous anticoagulant drug - and also had an infection going on. Long story short, she is no longer at the physical rehab facility. She has been admitted again back into the hospital where both situations are hopefully being remedied, and she has the love and support of us all. Auntie Edith, hang in there, we all love you!!

Fast Update on Tom Tate

Dad did finally receive a tracheostomy yesterday, so that tube is gone out of his mouth and now sprouts from his chest. They tried to put the feeding tube down his nose but it keeps clogging up so today [or tomorrow] they will insert a port into his stomach... Later today or tomorrow we will start a search of local specialty hospitals that might have the criteria to care for Dad after his discharge from the ICU. I am headed for the hospital now, so please forgive the brevity of this post. Hugs to all, and thank you again for all your prayers. Susan P.S. I am printing out all the wonderful comments to the blog and also the emails I've received from so many, and taking them to Mom to read. It's so encouraging to her to see all the support and love Dad has. God bless you all.
