REMEMBER THE SICK

TIFFANY BUICE has a fractured elbow.  AMBER has a growth on the outside of her eardrum, and went to the doctor Monday.  She will have surgery on her ear sometime in August or September.

DON COOK is doing better at this time, but still is having health related problems.

BRENDA COX is struggling with a staph infection that began in her port for her dialysis, then in her bloodstream.

DORA DAVIS, a member of the church at West Metro and known to many here at South Cobb, has been moved to Tranquility Hospice.  Doctors are giving her one to two weeks to live,.  Remember Lin, her husband, and her children in your prayers.

BILLIE FRADY has been in a lot of pain, and has been given a lot of pain meds that have made her sick.

GULLIAM NIXON is in Cobb Hospital (374) with congestive heart failure and a staph infection in his foot!  They may be moving him to a long term acute care facility wherein he will take at least 6 to 8 weeks of antibiotics for his foot at Windy Hill.

We extend sympathy to the family of JOYCE MANNING, Randy and Marice Allen's neighbor, who died of cancer Monday.  Her funeral was held Wednesday.
