| RANDOM TRIVIA TIDBIT: As we were crossing the Mighty Mississippi into St. Louis tonight on the way to visit Paul in the hospital, we saw the giant sign of the Lumiere Casino-Theatre reflected in the water proclaiming with running white letters on a red background: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STAN THE MAN! |
| HEALTH UPDATE:
|
|
As you may know, everyone in this household has been battling colds, flu, and general malaise since "'jes 'fore" Halloween. Last night at 8:45 after Paul had not been able to eat or drink anything for almost a full day, we asked The Lady of the House (who was taking her nightly bath after a long day's work) if she could drive us over to the local hospital so they could scope out his throat and see what was causing the blockage. She said, "Load him into the car and I'll be right down." As she turned on the engine, she said, "Would you rather go to St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis? It's not that much farther to get the best." http://www.stjohnsmercy.org/sjmmc/ So we did. The very nice emergency staff saw him right away. After hooking him up to a battery of machines to check his stats (pulse great, BP not too shabby, temperature 100.2), the doctor ordered a IV steroid to reduce the swelling in his sore throat, an EKG, a breathing treatment, a cat scan of his throat, chest X-Rays, and probably a few other things I missed. Results showed Paul (who genetically has an extremely narrow breathing passage) did not have pneumonia or anything lodged in his throat after all. Rather, his larynx, trachea, throat, and neck were so infected that they were swollen practically shut. He was then given IV antibiotics and fluids, and checked into the hospital so that his breathing (or lack thereof) could be monitored, and so he could continue to receive IVs as needed. My daughter-in-law and I returned home (arriving at 4:15 Saturday morning). I spoke to his physician today (Saturday) who told me that while they had originally suspected a tumor in his throat (?!?), they now thought that it was an acute infection of a few days duration, rather than something more serious. However, they did find a polyp on his thyroid gland, so they will continue to run tests and keep various IVs running until they can determine with more certainty the actual problem. Two of
my sons and I just returned from seeing Paul, and found him much
improved. I'll send more updates as they become available, and your
continued prayers are requested.

Paul":

Considering the possible outcomes, this all sounds like pretty good news. Problems identified and treatable. I hope he has a speedy recovery and is back home soon.
Thanks so much,
David - I appreciate that!

| Carol,
I could not open today's
newsletter. It said, OOPS, INTERNET EXPLORER CANNOT CONNECT! Thanks
for all you do! We all appreciate you! Hmmm..... I did not find your note right away, Steve, and certainly I've made a great many glaring errors in the last few days, but I tend to think this is an Internet Explorer problem - or maybe even something weather related. Should it happen again, try approaching it from another direction, perhaps directly from the site itself, the site map, or directly from the Newsletter section: http://nnhs65.com/SITE-MAP.html http://nnhs65.com/NNHS-Newsletters-2010.html
Thanks so much, Steve!

- 11/20/10 - "Shrek, Brad Pitt & J Lo":
| Shrek, Brad Pitt and
Jennifer Lopez were all having lunch together. Shrek said, 'I have always thought that I'm the strongest man in the world, but how can I be sure? Brad Pitt said, 'I'm pretty sure I'm the hottest man alive, but I've never had it confirmed.' Jennifer Lopez agreed. 'I'm told I'm the sexiest of them all, but sometimes I wonder.' They all decided that the best way to find out if their beliefs were true was to approach the wicked Queen's mirror to confirm for them whether Shrek was the strongest, Brad Pitt was the hottest and Jennifer Lopez was the sexiest. They agreed to meet again the next day for lunch to discuss their findings. The next day Shrek walked up with a smile. 'Well, it's true. The mirror told me that I am the strongest man in the world!' Brad Pitt followed and boasted it is true, it has been confirmed that I am the hottest!! Jennifer Lopez walked in, head bent, tears in her eyes and asked, "Who in the world is GLENN DYE?"

Take Me Out to the Ball Game
Melody by
Albert Von Tilzer (née Albert Gumm/Gummbinsky) (29 Mar 1878 - 01 Oct 1956), 1908Words by
Jack Norworth (05 Jan 1879 - 01 Sept 1959)|
Katie Casey was baseball mad, Had the fever and had it bad; Just to root for the home town crew, Ev'ry sou Katie blew. On a Saturday, her young beau Called to see if she'd like to go, To see a show but Miss Kate said "no, I'll tell you what you can do:" Refrain: Katie Casey saw all the games, Knew the players by their first names; Told the umpire he was wrong, All along, Good and strong. Whent he score was just two to two, Katie Casey knew what to do, Just to cheer up the boys she knew, She made the gang sing this song: Refrain: |
Nelly Kelly loved baseball games, Knew the players, knew all their names, You could see her there ev'ry day, Shout "Hurray," When they'd play. Her boy friend by the name of Joe Said, "To Coney Isle, dear, let's go," Then Nelly started to fret and pout, And to him I heard her shout: Refrain: Nelly Kelly was sure some fan, She would root just like any man, Told the umpire he was wrong, All along, Good and strong. When the score was just two to two, Nelly Kelly knew what to do, Just to cheer up the boys she knew, She made the gang sing this song: Refrain: |
