JUDY'S DOCTOR REPORT FOR THURS.

Greetings from Jane Phillips Medical Center:

We met with the Dr(Hospitalist) he said that the preliminary reports on the biopsies was looking good. This morning biliary readings were still alarming high.. should be around 4.2, when Judy 1st entered the hospital in Coffeyville, the reading was 17.5. The Drs. thought with the procedure done (the placing of the stint to allow for drainage and to keep the bile duct from re-collapsing) this would allow those numbers down to around 10 by today or hopefully lower.

Judy had 2 visitors last night, Connie J ( Judy's long time friend lives in Claremore,Ok and came over to visit was there about 90 mins. Then our new friend Russ Bartlett, a Workamper from Texas, that worked at Adventureland in Iowa and now is in Cofferyville brought John down to visit, we were there about 45 mins. Thank you both for taking the time to come by. Judy also is getting E-mails @ jw_long2002@yahoo.com
and has her cell phone there 319-521-4458.

The Workamper that had surgery on Saturday is home and doing great. He thanks everyone for their prayers.

John has arranged for assistance for Friday at the Endeavor for the weekly payroll distribution and mail call. He will then be able to spend the afternoon here at JPMC...

It sounds like that Judy will be staying here at JPMC at least until the biliary number gets down below 7.

She still may need a further procedure done that would require a trip to Oklahoma City overnight.

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN for all the prayers, calls, letters, cards, e-mails, and well wishes.

Blessings The Longs-ontheroad(with a slight detour): Judy and John
