AN UPDATE ON NYDAH ELLET

I didn't know NYDAH in school (I had already left Ballinger), but visiting with her at the 50th Class Reunion, I realized what a charismatic, charming woman she was -- and she must have made a lot of friends in high school. Those of you who knew her may wish to send a card or letter, and of course, prayers are always in order.

Class President JAMES HAYS sent me the following on her condition last night. 

"Just got an update from NYDAH’s daughter. As you know, she had a car wreck two years ago with a neck fracture and traumatic stroke, and has been in a nursing home paralyzed on one side. 

Her (memory) has been on a come and go status since, and has slowly gotten worse. She is able to recognize cards and appreciate them, but her condition is worsening. Now is the time to send her a card while she can still understand that we care for her." 

Write: NYDAH ELLET, Kensington Care Center Rm 11, 849 N Aurora Rd., Aurora, Ohio 44202.

Love and peace,

POWERFUL WORDS AND PRAYERS

If we need proof that prayers work, the following from our classmate, PEGGY BRANHAM KRUMLINDE should give some credence to their power. 

"I just received a call from my surgeon's office - Blue Cross finally approved him for my surgery. I will have my pre-op on Monday and surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11th. I don't know what time I will actually have the procedure; I have to be admitted at 5:30 a.m.

This has been a long time coming and I am so relieved that I will finally be able to get some help. I have suffered with this condition for several years and could never convince doctors that it was something serious. They just weren't willing to do the proper testing to find out. 

I know it will be a hard surgery and harder still to recover, but I am willing just to have the chance at a normal life again.

All your prayers, emails, calls and thoughts are so appreciated." Luv - U ~ Peg  

 

PEGGY outlined the difficulties involved in this surgery in previous blog posts. She is a remarkably strong woman, who has endured much in the way of surgery in the past. Now, we all need to remember to send our loving thoughts and prayers to her throughout the day this coming Wednesday. As we know, modern medicine can perform miracles, but since ancient times, prayer has done the same! The combination should be awesome!

I look forward to hearing from PEGGY as soon as she's able to communicate with us. Maybe your daughter can send me an email, PEG.

Peace and love,

Marilyn
