3/25/22 - UPDATE FROM BETH ON Mary E Justice

Neuro just left. No plans for discharge anytime soon. First step is the Chest Abdomen Pelvis CT to check for any other tumors. If they find one, they will biopsy that and If no other tumors are found, then we either do biopsy of brain mass or a resection (?) to remove as much as they can. She got a 10mg dose of steroids will get additonal doses every 6 hours. She's complaining of low back pain from simply laying flat on her back and her medical team has been wonderful at getting that addressed along with everything else. There is talk of possibly moving her out of ICU to a regular room but nothing definite on that. ICU nurse loves her cause she said moms such an easy patient. Ha! The nurse believes she can have 2 visitors at a time. If more are here, it is unclear whether they can wait inside the hospital or not. Mom is okay with visitors, I just ask that you reach out and let me know so I can coordinate as best I can.

Please keep Mary E Justice in your prayers. Many are friends with Mary on Facebook and have seen the concerns expressed the past few days about her health. Below is an update from Beth. Please pray for answers, comfort and healing. Thank you.

Update on mom:

Her CT this morning revealed a mass and swelling on the right side of brain. She was referred to Emory St. Josephs for an MRI and Neuro eval. We only got the first part of that completed. She is being admitted so they can treat the swelling with IV steroid treatment and monitor her. Tomorrow she meets with Neuro team, has a biopsy, possibly another MRI and anything else her Internal Medicine team orders. There was mention of a CT CAP and PETSCAN on her CT report from this morning.

As I finish this up, they are prepping to move her to a room.

Greetings saints, I eagerly anticipate our time of gathering on Sunday. We will share scripture from Luke 6 : 27-36 with a message entitled “Love Beyond Compare “

Until we meet… Pastor Hull

Join us this Sunday for our in-person worship at 11:00 am, where Pastor Hull will bring the message “Love Beyond Compare” with scripture reading from Luke 6:27-36.

From Susan Davis:

My daughter Kristen asked for prayer for her Aunt Sue Ridinger and her family. Below is her message regarding Sue’s mother and sister. Prayers for comfort and healing. Thank you.

Will you send out a prayer request for Sue Ridinger and family? (Uncle Phil's wife). Her mother passed away from Covid over the weekend. Also, Sue's sister (Carol King) has Covid and is not doing very well. She has underlying lung issues and they're not sure of her prognosis yet. They just found out about her sister yesterday.

Please be in prayer for Melissa Wheeler Black and her family. Melissa’s granny passed away today and she posted the message below.

Today was a hard day… I lost my favorite person… my Granny. Everyone called her Granny, even in the middle of a memory care unit where everyone was a “granny”. She’s one of the reasons I’m this sassy and confident. It is very difficult to see a loved one be slowly taken by dementia. I’m very thankful for her love and support and I will miss her very much. ❤️

From Susan Davis:

Please keep my daughter Kristen Ridinger in your prayers.  Kristen has been dealing with problems in her hips and knees and recently went to a orthopedic doctor to see what the problem is.  They did x-rays and said her knees were fine, but her hips are not.  They diagnosed her with Avascular Necrosis and said she would require a double hip replacement within the next year or two. Basically a bone has trauma and is not getting blood supply and has died, so it's bone on bone in her hip area.   The doctor  indicated this is quite common in young adults between 30 and 50 years old.  We are going tomorrow for a follow up visit to see what her next steps will be and when surgery might be possible.  Pray for answers, comfort and healing for her as she's hurting all the time.    Thank you.

From Susan Davis:

Please keep my sister Nena Kelly and her family in your prayers. My brother-in-law David has been in ICU on a respirator for several days and they have been told he will not recover and would have to spend the rest of his life on the respirator and undergo dialysis to stay alive. They have made the decision to remove the respirator and say their goodbyes. They have three children along with spouses and grandchildren. David is 70 years old and has suffered with COPD and emphysema for a few years. Thank you for your prayers. Prayers for comfort and peace in the decision they have made.

Update on Nancy Brubaker

An update my dad posted regarding my mom for those who are asking:

A Nancy Smith Brubaker update:

After a MRI to assess Nancy’s neck injuries, she was transported to the University of Cincinnati medical center for surgical intervention.

A plate will be used to stabilize the fractured C2 vertebrae to either or both the C1 and C3vertebrae as the C2 anterior ligament was torn and has limited accessibility for repair.

I have spoken with two of the attending residents who will be in attendance to observe the procedure. ( No touching!) I have not seen the orthopedic surgeon as of yet but have assessed his credentials and reviews. (Stephen Agabegi) The surgery has been assigned as an add-on which means, whenever a time slot opens. The procedure will take 2-3 hours. Unsure of the recovery time or time before travel to home. More prayers requested for good outcome and pain management.
