Maurine Peake continues to improve, almost miraculously, according to her son, Andy. The exact cause for her illness still hasn't been determined. As of last night, she was still in ICU at Centennial.
Margeret Netterville received a much better report from her doctor this week. The fractures in her ankle are beginning to heal and treatment options have significantly improved.
Maurine went to Centennial Thursday night with extreme abdominal pain. She is currently in ICU, but should move to a regular room today. We do not know what the diagnosis is at this time. (Apr. 8)
Helen's and Malinda's family has recently been flooded with health problems.
Their father, Orlan Lorton, is recuperating from a shattered knee cap and is using a walker. His father, Orlan Lorton, is scheduled to have back surgery tomorrow, April 6. He is in his 80s.
Their mother, Jean Lorton, is feeling quite overwhelmed, because her mother, Catherine Phillips, has fallen twice in the past week and needs to move to assisted living. She is 93, lives in Memphis and Jean cannot travel to be with her right now. Jean's brother-in-law, Frank Huffman has pancreatic cancer. He just finished chemo and is waiting for the results.
They welcome all prayers.
