Jaymes Smith called today. He is going into the hospital tomorrow for surgery on his back. They are going to fuse two lumbar vertebrae. I assume he will be at VETS Hospital, and your thoughts and prayers would be welcome and appreciated.

Talked with Bob yesterday.
Bob should be released from the hospital either today or Friday. He will
then have to spend 5 to 6 weeks in Perkins Pav in Hastings for recovery.
When he gets to feeling better then he will probably have the Heart Cath,
etc done. Time will tell. As of now he is feeling a lot better and acts
like the old Bob we all know. Will let you know what room he will be in
at Perkins when he gets settled.
Please keep him in your prayers as well as his family.
Thanks Stretch

Just talked to
Ann about Bob.
Bob has several issues that are keeping him down.. He is breathing on
his own at this time, but short on oxygen.
They need to treat the pneumonia, both lungs and staff infection before
they can proceed with a heart cath.
He needs the heart cath before he can receive a pacemaker to help his
heart out, as it is week. When they do
the heart cath, if it is possible, they will insert the pacemaker. He
also has blockage that they need to find.
Bob is down in his spirits so get a card in the mail to him, don't call
as he needs all his strength to keep going.
He is at Saint Elizabeth in Lincoln room 372
So in other words Bob is in need of our prayers and cards
Stretch
will update as more info comes in

PSP Bob Songster is not doing
well. He has a blockage in a blood vessel. Congestive Heart Failure,
Pneumonia in left lung and kidneys have begun to shut down. Family was
called in Saturday. He is in Lincoln - don't know for sure, but
thought he is in St Elizabeth.
Will pass on any more information as it is received it from Bob's
step-daughter Ann.

PSF, Jim Welch is in Henderson
Hospital and cards can be sent to him.
Address: Henderson Hospital
1621 Front St.
Henderson, NE. 68371
He had ended up with an infection again, called Mersa. He was
unable to navigate again, so therefore we spent 6 days at the VA in
Omaha, and transferred to Henderson since we were
unable to get a bed in Grand Island VA.
I saw him tonight and he is looking pretty snappy. He says that
within a few days he is going
to be home, but that is to remain seen. I am not from Missouri, but
I know that he is going to be better than he was before coming
home. He has improved much, and we appreciate the calls and
concerns that we have received.
Thanks for your love and friendship,
Patty & Papa

Rachel Thomas
February 6, 1928 to January 18, 2010
Rachel was born on a farm near Greenwood, NE on February 6, 1928. During the Great Depression, Rachel moved to South Omaha with her parents where she attended South High school and met her future husband, Ralph. Forever known as Ralph and Rachel (It always had a nice ring to it!) they lived life's adventures, triumphs and sorrows in the South Omaha community for the rest of their lives. Ralph led the way in September 2000 after experiencing the start of the new millennia - and now Rachel has followed to be by his side for eternity. She was a loving and caring mom, grandma and great-grandma. We will all miss her dearly.
Since Mama is still making her contribution to life by training doctors at UNMC, there will only be a short Memorial Service at the South Omaha Eagles Club, 2226 "N" Street, on Thursday, January 28th, at 7:00 p.m. The club will be open for all who want to attend.

Ethel had a recurrence on her bleeding problem. I took her to the ER room on Monday noon. Late afternoon there was a scan done, but the bleeding stopped and nothing was found. This afternoon the bleeding started again and tonight the scan was done again. There was a procedure done where the Doctors went in and found the leak and took care of it (somewhere in the lower intestines). She is resting and is doing OK tonight
. She is in room 725 in the Saint Francis Medical Center in Grand Island. Phone 308-384-4600.
I do not know how long
she will be in the hospital.

Ethel had to have another fistula installed in her upper left arm for dialysis purposes on December 21st am. She was admitted on Dec 20th pm.
She
was supposed to be released on the 23rd, but due to excessive drainage
the doctors kept her an extra day. Because of the snow storm that extra
day turned out to be four days, she was released on the 29th.This was
done at the St Elisabeth hospital in Lincoln. The fistula is healing
very well.
Monday Jan 4th I took her to the St. Francis hospital in Grand
Island. She is in room 732. She is passing blood because of all the
blood thinners she is on. They are trying to find out where the problem
is. This is a second time for this to happen.

For the many who were at West
Central Regional, it was announced the reason Norma Jean Krahmer wasn't
there was she had a possible light heart attack. Here is some updated
information: After various tests, it sounds like it was a light stroke
instead. Her heart is not pumping correctly as the one side doesn't
close correctly, allowing the blood to drain into the lung. They are
trying to correct with medication at this time, otherwise it will be
major surgery. At this time she is unable to drive for 3 months but she
is at home. She would appreciate any cards or telephone calls plus your
prayers. Her address is: PO box 371, Elkhorn NE 68022.
