September 1, 2010:  September Get-together.  This month's Get-together will be September 11 at Perkins Restaurant, 1340 S. Germantown Rd, Germantown... 5:30 PM - Dutch Treat - Everyone welcome! 

September 1, 2010:  Happy Birthday to:  Carl Hillstrom (6), Jesse Pearson (6), Bobby Bledsoe Lyles (11), Joe Ingram (17), Norma Greer King (19), Ann Dendy Biggs (22), Binnie Gatlin Stout (23), Bobby Wright (23), Connie Nelson Pittman (28), Stanley Mitchison (29).

August 31, 2010:  Update on Nora Boone Bob Boone writes:  "Nora had the operation today and she is out of recovery and in the ICU.  The surgeon said she really didn’t need the ICU but felt the additional monitoring there would be prudent.  She is resting and all vitals are OK.  Hopefully the “leak” is corrected!  Her breathing is better and she sounds better too".

August 30, 2010:  Email from Bob Boone "A week ago last Saturday Nora had a bad cough and about 2:00pm she got some severe pain after a cough and I took her to the ER.   X-ray showed a collapsed lung and they installed a tube to re-inflate it.  That tube gave problems and a second tube went in but every time they removed the suction, the lung started to deflate again. Today the 3 or 4 lung Doctors had a conference call and the senior surgeon came in, looked at things fiddled with the tube and announced that surgery was necessary and wanted to do it tomorrow but due to Nora being on blood thinners, they will have to wait until sufficient vitamin K has been given to suppress the Coumadin!  I assume surgery could happen Tuesday.  There is an element of risk but it has to be done before she gets any weaker!!! "  Please remember Nora and Bob in your prayers.

August 15, 2010:  August Photos now posted.  Winford reports that "...23 were present at last night's Get-together" and that "Joyce had her first of six Chemo treatments last Wednesday.  So far she has had no side effects and is feeling good".  Joyce's photos are now posted on the Get-together section of the website.

August 8, 2010:  Latest Update on Glenn Lockhart.  Glenn is scheduled to have minor out-patient surgery (Balloon Kyphoplasty) this Wednesday.  It is hoped that surgery will stop the awful pain he's been having in his back. 

August 5, 2010:  Email from Winford.  "Today we visited the oncologist and learned that Joyce will need to have chemo treatment which is supposed to reduce recurrence chances from 28% to 10%. The type of chemo is CMF. Joyce will have 6 treatments or one every three weeks. This will be done at West Clinic which is near to us. No porta-cath will be required. He said it might cause hair thinning but not complete hair loss. Test showed negative for need to take anti estrogen pills which would have been for the next five years. We prayed the doctor would have the wisdom to do whatever is best for total healing and we believe this is necessary. Thank you for all your prayers, cards and concern. Please pray that Joyce will be able to tolerate the chemo."
