Good morning Rick,

Here are the updates on Aunt Faye.

Aunt Faye is going to have a hysterectomy on Wednesday 10/31/2007. Her uterus has dropped and they also found a polyp which is some concern.

Lisa's first operation did not get all the cancer. So on 11/14/2007 Lisa is going to have a mastectomy. Lisa has decided to go with an implant so the Plastic Surgeon needs to be available also.

Please keep both of them in your prayers.

Love Ya,
Aunt Mary Rose

UPDATE: 9/12/2007

On the 5th Uncle Ron called Aunt Joan to say all went well with Aunt Faye. Uncle Ron said that Aunt Faye was doing well and was coming home that day which was Friday the 7th.

Well this morning as I was getting ready for work Aunt Faye called and said she does not have to do radiation or chemo but will be taking the pills. Also this Monday Aunt Faye walked a mile and a half at the health club. And on Tuesday 2 miles this was done in increments of a few laps at a time. Isn’t that great!!

Aunt Faye said they will be here for Brian’s wedding in October.

Aunt Faye said “tell the prayer group thank you”. The prayers where greatly appreciated.

Love Ya,
Aunt Mary Rose

Hi Rick,
Got a call from Aunt Faye today with an update.
Surgery for Aunt Faye will be on September the 5Th. They will be doing a bilateral mastectomy. They feel that they have caught it in the beginning stages. Her right breast is a stage 1 and the left a stage 0. They will be injecting dye in the lymph nodes. Aunt Faye will not have to do chemo or radiation but will be on pills for 2 years.
Needless to say Aunt Faye is in need of a lot of prayers. So lets engage the fantastic Prayer Group on this one.


Love Ya,
Aunt Mary Rose

How to be SAFE and SOUND of mind

How to stay safe in the world today.

1. Avoid riding in automobiles because they are responsible for 20% of all fatal accidents.

2. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home.

3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians.

4. Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation.

5. Of the remaining 33%, 32% of all deaths occur in Hospitals.

So, ... above all else, avoid hospitals. BUT , ... You will be pleased to learn that only .001% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given point in time is at church!

....... And....Bible study is safe too. The percentage of deaths during Bible study is even less.

Pam Bockwinkel heart surgery planned

UPDATE: Pam's surgery completed in five hours...success. THANKS for the prayers...

This message received by TEXTING from Glenn, the young-at-the-time looking guy on the left in the picture below...

FYI Pam, the one on the right below the sky pilot, will be going in the hospital on Weds. 3.2007 for Heart Surgery. She has had a lot of problems with her medicine keeping the heart in rhythm. This procedure should help. It's called Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation. It will take about six hours to perform this procedure. If all works well she will not have to take as many meds as she does now. Please keep her in your prayers. GJB

Dr Shara will be doing the surgery on Pam
