Planning Weekend--Aunt Vickie

Hi All,

Just wanted to say that most of my family will probably not be at the family reunion planning meeting this weekend!! If you have not heard, my mother was admitted to the hospital tonight. (This is why I am sending out an email at 2:05 A.M..

She had gone fishing this afternoon (on Barbara and Don's house boat) and caught a stingray on her fishing line. Well, when she went to get it off the line (this is common practice for us), it brought its tail up and stuck the barb in the top of her hand. It went in so far that the doctor told Melba and I that he could see the ligaments through the puncture wound in her hand. The wound is deep and her hand is extremely swollen. Mother is a diabetic, which makes it worst, and they are trying to prevent an infection!!!

I ask that you all keep her in your prayers. She has really been down in the dumps, after Ike drowning her home with fllod waters, losing all of her things that were downstairs (EVERYTHING), and not having Daddy here to help her with all of the decisions!!!

Thanks to everyone, and if someone would take notes at the meeting, Melba and I would appreciate it!!!

Claudia
