Rickey Lynn goes to Denver

This report comes in from Rickey Lynn:

We're in Denver! It's cloudy, rainy, with a high of 60 degrees. What a wonderful relief from some of the heat of Phoenix. Tom and Jan and Jonathan and June have been wonderul hosts and hostesses, spoiling Jennifer and myself almost hourly. Today we visited the Butterfly Pavilion and got some fantastic photos. Tomorrow is the real reason we drove 900 miles - it's June's birthday. We're trying to make sneaky plans for a nice cake for her. She would normally be at work tomorrow, but she's entitled to take the day off, so she's going to go in for just an hour to let them know it's her birthday and to let them know she's going home. Then it's into downtown Denver to see what there is to see. That's going to be followed by a dinner in June's honor to celebrate her last birthday in her 20's. Too bad - so sad - many of us have already visited that time in our lives and lived to see another year, so she'll just have to get over it.
Unfortunately, we leave to go back to the heat of Phoenix on Wednesday and will, sadly, have to say our goodbye's.

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.
