Jack Harty (Bushnell HS, IL - '66) of IL, brother of
 
Paul
Harty
(Bardolph HS, IL - '61 - of NC) -
request
of 11/06/08:
Jack was diagnosed three weeks ago with malignant melanoma. In the surgery
that followed, the doctors believed they were able to remove it all
successfully, but because they delayed examining him for some time after he
initially complained of the symptoms, they can't be certain, so another
surgery will follow soon;
update of 11/19/08 -
during second surgery more tissue plus a lymph node were removed, and
doctors are optimistic they caught it all; |

request
of 02/10/09 -
"My brother is in Roanoke Memorial
Hospital ICU after an accident at his home in the mountains of Virginia near
Buena Vista. He is recovering from broken ribs, broken collar bone and punctured
lung, along with many cuts and bruises. I am in Virginia with him and his wife,
and we ask for prayers for Carl's recovery. I will keep you updated on his
progress. Thanks, Don";

"On Thursday, February 26th, my brother had
his post accident appointment with the trauma team that treated him on
February 5th after his horrible accident at his mountain home near Buena
Vista, VA. He got a good report with all injuries healing well and that
really sparked his day. He will continue to move slowly for many weeks
ahead, but it looks as if his recovery will have him back to full speed
before too long. Your kind thoughts and prayers have meant so much to us
and we know they were instrumental in his healing. Thanks so much and God
Bless,

Monty Phillips ('62) of VA - request
of 02/28/09, 9:30 AM -
"Monty was admitted to the hospital last night with a huge bleeding ulcer
and in very poor condition. He is in ICU. He was scoped at midnight and
surgery soon after to try and stop the bleeding. At 3:30 am, he was improved
and fairly stable. This morning, he is not doing well. His BP is way too
low. There seems to be something going on with the liver, but they will deal
with that later."
update
of 02/28/09, 11:12 AM -
"We just left Monty and he is heavily sedated and hooked up to a lot of
tubes. He was unable to talk, but responded with head movement. I just
reassured him that his dog is being cared for and his boss knows about his
situation. He seems calm and improving. His color is much better - almost
normal in the face.....

Fred Rose, husband of
 the Head Flagtwirler of 1965,
Janice
McCain Rose of VA -
request
of 02/12/09 - was found to have "a small
malignant tumor in his esophagus" and will require "major surgery (8 hours
plus) to remove the esophagus and make a new one by pulling and stretching
his stomach";
update
of 02/19/09 - "Fred had another endoscopy today and it's stage T1....we were
praying for T2....so this is even better!!!! The tumor is fully
contained....has not penetrated the wall of the esophagus at all...and the
cancer cells are the SLOW growing kinds of cancer cells. We are pretty
confident that there is no more cancer anywhere in his body. We also hope
that he has passed with flying colors all the tests that he has had this
week (8)....and is physically ready for the surgery. We meet the surgeon
again on the 25th.....and hopefully his operation can be scheduled at that
time. Praise be to the Lord....prayers are answered.....love to
all....Janice";
update
of 02/25/09 - "We met with the surgeon today....Fred's surgery is scheduled
for next Thursday, March 5th.... We have to be at the hospital at 7:00
am....surgery will be about 8:30 am...Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center, 150

Myra Wilkins Golden ('61) of MT -
request
of 05/27/09 - "Myra is in St. Paul's Hospital in Helena, MT. She had a heart
attack late Sunday (05/24/09) night. I talked with Myra about two hours ago,
she is doing better and is expecting to go to a regular room later today and
hopefully come home by Thursday (at the latest as she says). The
doctor doesn't seem to think that there is damage to the heart, but one
artery was blocked 100% (they put 2 stints in), and there are two other
arteries that are blocked 60% and 70%. Nothing will be done about those two
yet; the doctor will wait and see how the first stints do..." |
