Hi, Myrna!
I just spoke to my Dad and he said that they won't know much about the monitor for your Dad's heart until Monday. Not a lot of info, but it's all I have for now. If I hear more, I will let know by either calling or emailing, ok?

Love, Kim

Dear Kim, 
I have called Dad a couple of times. He said Dr. King and Dr. Gagon think his heart is fine. He does have pneumonia, however, and he hasn't been resting. He was bending over and pulling weeds (bending from the waist) and then the blood pooled in his legs. He just can't do that anymore. I hope he won't do that any more.

I know Dad is getting older but it will still be difficult for me to let him go when it is time. 

Thanks for your help and for understanding. I am the kind who hopes for a perfect world. I guess I just need to try harder to do my part to make things better. I think I am trying but maybe I am not doing everything that I could or should.

I do appreciate you and your Dad and Mom. I am grateful that you are family and friends.

Love, Myrna

About Grandpa

Grandpa Pitts passed out for the third time. It happened on Tuesday. Two of the neighbors noticed him. He had made it to a chair on the porch but then had passed out. They called an ambulance and he was taken to Price Hospital. He wore a monitor for a day but the doctors told him that there didn't appear to be anything the matter with his heart. He does have pnuemonia and should be resting not out mowing his lawn and pulling weeds. He pulled weeds in a bent over position which, the doctor said, made the blood pool in his legs and then made him light-headed and dizzy. He is also having a hard time walking and so they gave him a cane which he doesn't think he needs to use. They did some more tests on his thyroid to see if that could be causing a problem. Most of the results of all the tests, including the CAT scan, will not be available until Monday but you could call him anytime. That would make him happy.

Love, Mom

Neat Fish Story

Charles E. Edwards (cellised@networld.com) wrote: 

A friend of mine, Steve, was fishing in a local area lake and saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange in a nearby pond and went to investigate. It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a 

child's basketball which became stuck in its mouth!! 

The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, but unable to because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface. Steve tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his girl friend cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish. 

You probably wouldn't have believed this, if you hadn't seen the following eight enclosed pictures...

Gallbladder

Melanie: We were having some problems with our computer. I wanted to have photos to you, but we can't get them to save to the computer. Go ahead without them. We will send some to you next month.

I am sure to keep in touch with you. It looks like Siovhan may need gallbladder surgery, and we will probably have it done out there, due to her being in school. I will let you know more as soon as I know more. She is going in for an ultrasound on Thursday at 2:00. She has asked Julie to come and be with her, as Julie has already gone through all of this. After this test, she will likely have the dye test, then they will schedule the surgery.

I will talk with you later.

Melanie

Myrna: Welcome to the family of gallbladder sufferers. She will feel so much better after it is done. My grandmother (Smith) had her gallbladder rupture while she was at school. She nearly died and it took months to get better. I was a freshman in college and I sat by her bed and worried. The drug they gave her for pain made it so that she was delusional. Finally, Uncle Fred came and gave her another priesthood blessing. That really helped. She had had one from our home teachers but Uncle Fred re-sealed the anointing and gave her an additional blessing. Better to get rid of the gallbladder when it first starts to bother you. Especially with today's surgery--three little holes and hardly any recovery time needed.

Bring her here after the surgery and be with her while she recuperates. Julie said the best thing to sleep in was one of our big recliners in the living room. We can make sure she has peace and quiet. We will love to have you both. Grandpa will wait on her hand and foot because he had the old surgery and remembers how bad he felt. Plus the pain killer they gave him made him feel like giving up on life and just quitting the fight and going to sleep. Now they don't use that one anymore for anybody.

Love, Mom

Dad is in the hospital.

Thanks to Uncle Bob, I found out that Dad had been in the hospital. I didn't find out until 6 p.m. For some reason, I think that nobody likes me, Uncle Bob excepted. Anyway, I don't know what is happening with the birthday celebration either.

Excuse me for feeling sorry for myself. My phone number, in case you need to call me ever, is (435) 623-0195.

Love, Myrna

Sarah Bean's aunt

Donnette Smith wrote:

Dear Family,

I went to the Family History Center this week and looked a little bit at the film I had ordered in. Surprise!!!  Ann Wollage Bartington, the aunt Sarah Bean Shearring had lived with,  was an LDS member, too. I had to go to Salt Lake today and spent a few minutes at the Family History Library and found that the records telling of Ann Bartington’s baptism must have been lost. So I haven't found her baptism date but she was a member when she died. Sarah Bean (Shearring) was "Cut off" - which means she was excommunicated - They cut them off the church for trivial things then.. And the Cousin, William Bartington,
Ann Wollage Bartington’s son, was baptized and emmigrated.

William Bartington emigrated to the US. I found him on the Mormon Immigration Index CD crossing the ocean in 1855. But I haven’t been able to find him in any US records. He wasn’t on the records of those LDS companies who crossed the plains. And he wasn’t anywhere in the US in the 1860 Census. There were several diaries on the CD of people who were on that ship and while they mentioned several babies dying on the trip, they didn’t say anything about adults dying.

Well - It is strange that all these years we have thought that Sarah Bean had no contact with the church after she went to live with her aunt. Now we find that the aunt was LDS all the time!!! The aunt, Ann Wollage Bartington died 5 years after Sarah was married.

Big mysteries - but fun to research.

Pitts Party

Myrna wrote: As for the party, Todd says that Saturday afternoon would be great. He was planning on going down to visit Grandpa (Dad) anyway and will be thrilled to celebrate the day with the family. Is a picnic still a good idea or should be just have a dinner at the house? Did you decide you would rather eat out? What could I bring? Love, Myrna

Kim Pitts wrote: Let me know what you all decide, and I will help you with food....no 
problem!
It will be nice to visit with all the family!
