Mildred Brandful called me a few minutes ago to tell me that Neka has been on the ventilator for 17 days, her kidneys are not functioning, and, after some kind of test tomorrow, she will probably have to make the decision to remove the ventilator OR to leave her on it. Mildred’s son is a Doc in Atlanta, so I am sure he will be assisting her. As you might imagine, this is a very tough time for Mildred. Please keep her in your prayers.

Please let me know the date and time you read this. You can let me know by email: 212juniper@gmail.com

Thanks!

Carolyn Dailey is coming home this afternoon! We rejoice with her and with Eddie that this procedure is behind her and she is on her way to a healthy recovery!

Wanted to remind you that next Friday, December 16, 2011 at 7:00 we will meet together for a meal (you bring the sides and deserts) followed by Connie’s program. Please visit her web site to learn more about her: conniecarey.com

Jeanenne’s is providing lemon baked chicken and rice, along with banana pudding!

Please plan to attend. You will be glad you did!

The surgery was completely successfully, and for that we are extremely thankful. Eddie says that Carolyn will be in the hospital for 3 or 4 days. Please keep both Carolyn and Eddie in your prayers!
Blessings,
Mac

Neka Brandful (Mildred’s daughter) is very ill–double pneumonia and septicemia. I have not seen her today, as I was in hospital with Amy (surgery went well!); however, I did talk with Mildred twice. She promised to keep me posted and, I will pass the information on to you.

Carolyn Dailey will be having a mastectomy tomorrow morning at Emory Mid-town. Roger, Bob, Joann, and Travis will be there for support. I will let you know what I know, as soon as I know it.

Love to each of you!

Finishing First Semester in Respiratory Therapy

Michael is with some of his classmates in Respiratory Therapy school. He had just finished the lab final with a 97. Rest of finals are next week.

I am very thankful and very proud of him!

Hallelujah!

I received the following from Corina this AM. If you can, please respond, accordingly.
Thanks!

Mac – I don’t know if there are a few ladies in our church who would be willing or able to cook a little food, but we have several families coming from out of state and sure could use a little help in the kitchen. Gray is a ways to go so if they want to use my home as a drop off point, I’m at 3014 Clairmont Avenue. I know my Mom and I would really appreciate that, it’s taking all we got just to get their home in order again. He’d been depressed and living alone for about 3 months, a man, you can imagine. Anytime between now and Mon. would be great, anything would be great. Thanks again, Corina

The memorial service for Ronald Hudgins is planned for 2:00 PM, Sat. at the Christ Community Church on Lite and Tie Rd. in Gray. Cards can be sent to Charlie Lucero at 192 Patton Rd., Gray, GA 31032. Charlie can be reached at 986-4107.

Dudley & Debbie

Dudley and Debbie have invited the GCF family to come to their house for our service on Sunday, December 18. We will meet at the usual 10:00; however, Dudley promised to have some “breakfast stuff” available (I hope he checked with Debbie!), so things might be a bit different, but what’s new?

Anyway, here are the directions for those of you who might not remember how to get there, as well as for those of you who are yet to do so: From Macon, take I-75N and take the 181 exit onto Rumble Road. At the end of the ramp, turn right. Just past the BP station (on the left) take a left onto Jenkins road. Continue on Jenkins Road for 1.8 miles, then turn left onto Deer Lane. Deer lane will dead end into the Bluhm’s Driveway. You will recognize the house as Rudolph, Dancer, and Prancer will be on the roof, and there will probably be a flock of wild turkeys nearby.

I am trusting that each of you will plan to attend this very special time!

I am also looking forward to this Sunday, as we continue our study of Genesis!
