2/25 Hi! It has been a rather log day but a good one. We knew they were thinking about taking him off the ventilator and maybe do dialysis. They ended up doing both. I think they were going to do the vent first but the dialysis got here first. Which really turned out for the best. It takes 4 hours for the dialysis an he has to lay down which would not have been good for the lungs. They really checked him out throughly checking his blood gases and volume. They have him sitting up in a bed that makes into a chair. He is trying to us something but his voice is so weak we are having a difficult time understanding him. They say he is doing very well. Can have some ice chips about 10 tonight. David and Jen are here. Deron is on his way home. He just text David that he had seen several slide offs. He was at the New Castle exit. Will let you know how he gets through the night. God has certainly smiled upon him. We are so blessed. The doctors had given him a 50/50 chance. Thank you for all the prayers. Nancy 3/6 -

PGC Virginia Anglemyer is back in the hospital with congestive heart
problems. Cards of cheer and
get well may be sent to: 58740 CR 111 S, Elkhart, IN 46517 Elwood - Roberta Smith was hospitalized at Elwood St Vincent Mercy Hospital for shortness of breath and chest pain on Friday January 15. That morning she was transferred to the Heart Hospital at Community North in Indianapolis. On Saturday they removed a liter of fluid from her left lung. The tests they did on Friday came back with no proof of a heart attack. That was the good news! The other thing the tests showed was kidney failure. She had about 9% function from her kidneys. Over the weekend much improvement and things were looking up. There was a biopsy planned for Monday morning, this was postponed due to low blood count and low oxygen levels. Tuesday the biopsy went off without a problem. The results came back not so good, the kidney function had decreased and there is an indication of Multiple Myeloma (a rare form of cancer that effects the plasma making part of the marrow) non-curable but very treatable. With these results and since there was no need to be in the Heart Hospital for a kidney problem, they transferred her to Community North. Wednesday morning before the transfer the doctors removed another liter of fluid and began talking about dialysis, mom did not want to do it but, also did not want to be put on a ventilator, until we discussed the alternatives. Thursday morning they installed the tubes for the procedure and everything seems to be fine as of this note. With a lot of prayer and by faith we will survive this setback and she will be home by the time the newsletters are published
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Phone calls, cards and words of encouragement are greatly appreciated. Cards and letters may be mailed to Roberta Smith, 2720 N "B" St. Elwood, IN, 46036. E-mails may be sent to jsmith@ramsaysolutions.com, I will print them and take them to her.

Cards of cheer and get well can be sent to 8617 W SR 28,
Ridgeville, IN 47380. New Castle Brother Chris Adams was transported by emergency ambulance to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis this morning about 5 am. He is believed to have a ruptured spleen with some internal bleeding. The doctors are going to try and stop the bleeding and heal the spleen without surgery if possible. We will know more later on today (Friday 2/26). Cards of get well may be sent to 1480 W CR 300 N New Castle, IN 47362.
Dear Friends- We got home about 9 last night. Chris had his
procedure at 9 yesterday morning. Thankfully, it appears to have
been successful as his blood pressure has now came back up to 128/70
in that area. At our hospital it reached 80/40! We are fully
convinced that had he not woke us up, he may of bled to death.
Isn't God good! He keep being nauseous. It may go along with the
procedure???? Otherwise, during the night they were able to remove
his oxygen and his stats stayed up. So, everything is looking
better, one baby step at a time. Now if they can just find out what
caused the whole thing to happen to start with. He will be in the
hospital until at least Tuesday or Wednesday. We'll keep in touch.
Thanks for all your prayers!
Thanks to a healing God, we were able to bring Chris home at
4:30 Monday! He is still sore from his procedure. He is under
a 10 pound lifting restriction for 6 weeks, so he will be taking
it kind of easy. They say he can return to work next week if
they have light duty work. Things are looking good for a full
recovery. We still at this time do not know what caused it.
THANKS for all of your cards, calls, and most especially your
prayers of healing. PRAYER DOES WORK!
Our our love,
Denny, Maridene & Chris
