TUESDAY, 12/13/11
Jerry Poiroux went in for surgery yesterday morning. The surgeon had plans to remove the kidney stone that had been causing Jerry’s pain. However, he was not able to complete the surgery because he felt there could be some infection. So, he placed a stent and will wait a few days before trying again. I do not know if they allowed Jerry to come home or not.
The cardiologist said Conner Ferguson needs to be in the hospital in Birmingham. However, the Birmingham hospital cannot take him at this time. So, he will go to Jackson, MS tomorrow for some tests and they will go from there.
Melissa Brown’s grandson, Hunter, remains hospitalized. If he remains fever free for twenty four consecutive hours, he will be discharged. He has pneumonia in both lungs but is greatly improved.
Larry Moss is in a local hospital. He could be discharged today.
Caroline Ford’s nephew, James, passed away yesterday. They will have a service in Oklahoma later this week.
The visitation/service for Hilda’s brother, Dean Switzer, will take place on Thursday, 12/15, from noon until 2:00PM at the Holder Wells Funeral Home in Moss Point.
Xavier Blackwell will have surgery tomorrow in Birmingham. Lord willing, I will be there to be with the family.
Our friend, David Westhouse, from Moline, Michigan will have hip replacement surgery tomorrow.
Rebecca Bates Taylor will be put in the hospital this Sunday night, 12/18, and have her baby on Monday, 12/19. Obviously, she could go into labor on her own prior to Monday but, if not, this is the plan.
Gloria Whitmore met with the doctor yesterday and it was determined that she will have hip replacement surgery on Monday, 12/19.
My dad will have a couple of tests performed tomorrow to determine whether he needs surgery. He has been in a lot of pain in recent weeks.
Pray for all of these needs that have been mentioned along with those who are battling cancer.
I am not a huge fan of the NFL but I was glad to see the Broncos win this past Sunday. Why? Because of Charles Barkley’s comments about Tim Tebow last week. IMO, dumb on Barkley’s part! Am I surprised?
I am glad for Jim McElwain and hope he does well at CSU! It has been a good four year run for him at Bama.
I also hope that Michael Dyer does not ruin an excellent opportunity to possibly end up in the NFL and be set for life financially.
Friendship family, we are on a regular schedule tomorrow. Hope you will be present! Do not forget the adult choir musical this Sunday evening, 12/18, at 6:00PM.
I pray that you will have a great Tuesday with Jesus.
