Phil Hudson

If you subscribe to Our State Magazine you read Phil's daughter Elizabeth's editorial comments about her dad. For 17 days Phil was in the ICU at Moses Cone Hospital on a ventilator. He had surgery for a diseased lung and lost 18% of his lung to cancer. Lloyd talked to Elizabeth today and learned that Phil has been home for two weeks now and is doing better. I'm sure he would appreciate hearing from all of you.  (see page two of roster for address . . at http://www.donredding.com/ahsprotected/20101030.ahs.address.pdf   )

20111021 - Virginia Update

Virginia called with an update on her condition. Her hamstring muscle was torn loose in three places. She has been released from Universal Health Care and is at Harry Craven's, 879-4054, for home health and physical therapy for 2 to 3 months since she can't stay by herself. In a couple of weeks they will know the condition of her leg, but therapy seems long term. She thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers and hopes to be bicycling in the spring. Lloyd

Subject: My dad, Alex Coffin

Dear Family and Friends,

We hope that you all are enjoying your summer!  Some of you may have talked with Mom or Dad in the last several weeks, but if not, just a quick update…on July 1, my dad had surgery to remove a large abscess (as well as half of his liver) probably caused by his diverticulitis.  Although the surgery went remarkably well, Dad’s recovery has been difficult thus far . . . Thankfully, surgeons are happy with his recovery so far . .

Mom and Dad are incredibly grateful for your caring, well-wishes, and thoughtfulness. Mom specifically asks your forgiveness for not replying promptly to messages.  I will be sending updates occasionally to help Mom, and please feel free to contact me at any time with questions/thoughts, and I’ll be happy to share with Mom and Dad.  Thank you so much for your kindness to them!

 . . . . thank you so, so much for caring for our family! 

With love and gratitude,

Anna (Coffin) Hunter (Alex and Sonia’s daughter)
