Richard Pearson spoke with Al Jones on Wednesday, October 8th, and Al reported his sister, Mary Ann, is in very poor health with complications from throat cancer and not doing well at all.

We all are pulling for her and hope she can bounce back from this latest difficulty.

Juanita is doing better and thanks all for thinking of her. Read More...

Juanita sent an update saying Wayne will have to stay in a nursing facility. He remains in good spirits. Read More...

Thanks for Paula Pearson for this latest news: Last week Wayne was supposed to go home, however, a trial run did not prove successful. He is still at Lakepoint while Sharon decides what to do next. Sharon said he is content there for the time being, but assumes it is short term, which may or may not be the case. Marion and Rich visited him recently, and found him in pretty good spirits. More details as we get them.

Juanita came home from the hospital yesterday and is recovering better than expected. We wish her a speedy and complete recovery!

From Juanita: "Wayne is improving, but slowly. The MS disease is his biggest enemy. He's in the Lake Point Nursing and Rehab Center located right off of 13th Street on West Street, Room 907. The address is 1315 North West Street, 67203. He does not have a telephone. We do not know when or if he will go home. Lou and Sharon are taking turns staying with him in the afternoons."

In Mary's own words: "Everything in my life has gone cock-eyed lately. I'm having radiation treatments for throat cancer and hoping for good results. Won't know for sure for quite some time. Ray is doing as well as possible with only having minimum care from me. I spent some time in and out of hospital and didn't have much contact with anyone. I am feeling pretty good today and haven't had many of those days. I go back to the hospital for more radiation this afternoon."

We all hope for some positive news soon, Mary.

As most of us know Wayne fractured his hip on July 12 and has had surgery to put in a steel rod. Recovery has been slow with a few complications. He has now been moved to rehab and plans are to transfer him to a skilled nursing facility. We all wish him a quick recovery!
