Catching up on several subjects

I have been remiss. It's been months since I made a posting here, and some have lovingly called it to my attention. So here are a few pertinent updates - holler if you want more info on any of them, *grin* !!
  1. Mary Wroten is home, and is steadily improving. She is still on oxygen 24/7, but at least she is moving around on her own now, no longer requiring a walker. In fact, just last week Cheryl brought her over to our house for lunch and a lovely visit! Cheryl is the consummate daughter, still devoting her time to her mom, just going to her own home to care for her animals and plants. They are both awesome ladies and I admire them both.
  2. June Tate-Gans and Rickey Lynn Gans went to Japan and thoroughly fell in love with the country. June went for work, and Rickey tagged along for a week or so of sightseeing. They stayed in a condo in Tokyo and I think the part that intrigued Rickey the most was the wash-and-blow-dry toilets! Those people are CLEAN.
  3. David Whetstone is out of the Air Force, although he will be serving in the inactive Reserves for a couple of more years. He has taken an EOD contract job in east Texas which should last until mid-fall, then he'll be given another contract elsewhere... Florida? Alaska? Timbuktoo? Who knows, but it's great to be young and ready to travel wherever Life takes you.
  4. Emily Tate says she is 'staying put' this summer and will not travel around the country visiting children and relatives like she did last year. Robin will be coming to visit her next week, and will stay till Labor Day, which will be lovely!
  5. Gary and Jessica Whetstone are still living with Emily, but are actively looking for a place of their own now... Emily says, "I guess Jessica wants her own kitchen" and Gary just smiles. Gary's getting quite proficient at his wine-making now. He makes wine about just any kind of fruit, and it is all delicious.

That's about all I can think of at the moment, if I've missed anything else, you can call or email me... or help me make these postings!! Hugs all around to all the Clan, I love you all!

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.
