On January 17, 2017, we had a multi-class luncheon in which both the gentlemen and the ladies participated. I took photos to post to this blog. However, I have been in a quandary because Google discontinued the tool which I have been using to construct the embed code for a slideshow. So, I have dropped the idea of a slide show and am going to give you a link to a Google Photo album instead. Somehow, I missed getting a photo of Randy Fields, and I failed to ask anyone to photograph me. Here is the LINK. For those attendees not in the class of 59, I have added their class after their names. Enjoy!

Update on Helen Perdicaris Eady August 27, 2013
Charlyene Steele again has heard from John Eady, Helen's husband. Helen had to go back in hospital Saturday. She had another bout of low blood pressure (hypotension) and she fell again. She is doing well in hospital, and we don't know
when she will come home.
Wednesday, August 21, 2013
Update On Helen Perdicaris Eady - August 20, 2013
Helen went in
the Hospital last Tuesday for her second "Consolidation": Chemo
treatment. Everything went well and she
was to be released Sunday; however she was getting dizzy when she stood up from
a sitting or laying position and the doctor wanted her to stay in the hospital
for some test to determine the cause of her getting dizzy. Monday she was to come home but she still had
the dizzy spells. So, the docs ordered a cat scan for additional test.
This morning I
went to bring her home, however the problem still exist, so they have another
test being performed today. All her
blood work is good and all indications are normal however the problem is still there. It may just be the reaction to the Chemo and
she has to work through it. I hope she
will be released tomorrow.
Her third and
last "Consolidation" treatment is scheduled in 3 or 4 weeks unless
Moffitt calls to start treatment for a transplant. Thank you for your continued prayers and good
wishes.

Update on Helen Perdicaris Eady - August 12, 2013
Charlyne Steele furnished to me this report, after she spoke with John Eady.
Helen has had her required consultation with Moffitt Cancer Center. She is in acceptable condition for a bone marrow transplant. It has been determined that her brother is not an acceptable donor.
The criteria for bone marrow matching is based on human leukocyte antigens (HLAs). These antigens are designated by HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1 & HLA-DQ. Six of eight of these antigens must be a match for the bone marrow transplant to proceed.
After and acceptable donor is found, and the transplant is performed, Helen must be hospitalized at Moffitt for 30 days. The following 60 days must be spent within 15 minutes of Moffitt. Finally, the following two years will require monitoring at Watson Clinic in Lakeland.

Update on Helen Perdicaris Eady
Charlyne Steele is going to be the contact point with John Eady from this point forward. This way, John will only have to give the updated status to one person. Charlyne wil relay the information to me and I will post it.
Recently, while at home, Helen had a hypertension scare and was again hospitalized in Lakeland. That is now under control, her blood panel is acceptable at this point, and she is enjoying some more time at home, even though she is weak.
On August 9, 2013, she will have a consultation at Moffitt Cancer Center to further explore a bone marrow transplant. Nothing more will be known until then.

Latest Update on Helen Perdicaris Eady From Her Husband
Helen got to come home from the hospital for seven days. She enjoyed just being
home and didn't want to go anywhere. She was still weak and not up to her normal
standards and desires.
She entered the Lakeland Hospital this morning for 7 more days of treatment
and test. If everything goes well she will then be referred to Moffitt Cancer
Center in Tampa for Bone Marrow Transplant.
Her phone number at the hospital remains the same except her room number is
B668. Remember, no fresh flowers,fruit or vegetables. Also remember she is listed
as Sara Eady.
Thanks to all who called and visited her and especially those of you who
stayed overnight with her. During this last seven days any one with the time and
desire to spend the night with her, your help would be appreciated.
God continues to let his love and blessings flow.

Latest update: Awesome News! Helen Perdicaris Eady remains in remission
Joyous
news today! Mom’s leukemia remains in remission and clear of
cancer!
She
was supposed to get the news on Monday July 9th at her scheduled doctor appmt
then (2nd marrow biopsy following the initial chemo phase to see if
the cancer has stayed gone, and a more telling indicator than the first
encouraging test) but Dr. Vugman caught her at the clinic this morning when she
had to show up for blood work and decided not to delay the good news of biopsy
report any further and also not waiting for today’s blood work results confident
that those should also reveal good result. The doctor was tickled to tell her
and Dad.
Now
she doesn’t have to go through another 30 days in the hospital. Instead on
course with best prognosis, she will start just 7 days in the hospital for 3
chemo treatments to polish off anything that might be
left.
She
doesn’t have to go for the Monday office visit. Just show up for hospital
admission on Tuesday for shorter follow-up chemo. The doctor already has set up
arrangements for her to be admitted to Moffit in Tampa and get set-up with plans
for a bone marrow transplant.
Mom
suddenly became very tired yesterday and her feet continue to swell. Appetite
is OK. Too overjoyed to even tell the doctor about those things today with the
good news. This was after her mammogram on Wednesday showed no breast cancer
(last week a knot suddenly appeared on her chest) and this had been an
additional worry.
Spirits
very high. We are overjoyed and thankful to the Lord for this wonderful news.
The best report we could have at this time. Mom is very encouraged to move on
with the fight next week and continuing with high hopes. Mom said OK to tell
everybody.
Praise
the Lord!!!!

Update on Helen Perdicaris Eady From the Eady's Son, Sean
Helen is home from the
hospital for seven days, hallelujah! She is comfortable and well, all
test results look good today. She has doctor’s appointments Friday and
Monday. Tuesday is back to the hospital for either a week or a month,
depending on biopsy results. Please keep praying for remission to
continue!
God bless,

Leon Futch Getting New Hearing Service Dog in Rosemary's Own Words
Leon Futch lost his Service Dog (Dyna) last September due to cancer. His
Hearing Dog alerted him to all kinds of sounds that he had a hard time hearing
with his hearing disability. She would alert him to his cell phone
ringing,doorbell,smoke alarms-if someone would call his name and he couldn't
hear it and many other sounds. It was devastating for him, when he lost her. He
has re-applied with Rosemary his wife's encouragement and he has been accepted
to receive another dog from Canine Companions for Independence. He will receive
this dog sometime soon-since she is receiving advanced training in Santa
Rosa,Calif. currently to fit Leon's needs.Then Leon and Rosemary will make the
trip to Santa Rosa,Calif to pick the dog up. These dogs are amazing and go
through two years of training to be able to do what they do for someone that has
a disability.Leon has a hearing loss due to many years of being a State of
Florida Water Well Contractor and working with his big rigs and high pressure
air.This time when we go-we are going to enjoy touring the Sonoma Wine Country
.

Another Update on Helen Perdicaris Eady in Her Husband's Own Words
Helen has now been in the hospital 25 days and has progressed wonderfully.
She has received all the required shots to promote white cell growth. Her white
blood cell count is good. She is still on an IV which is to help flush out the
Chemo in her system. Her Kidney's were of concern, however her test has improved
and they think it was due to all the medication she was on.Helen has now lost
her hair and looks beautiful in head wear.
She is still on anti-biotics and is weak. Her appitite has improved and she
looks better every day. She is scheduled for another Bone Marrow Byopsy tommorow {Monday) and if
her test come back favorable she may be able to come home. What a blessing that
would be!!! She is ready to see the outdoors and enjoy some sunshine and
scenery other than the hospital room. I hope my next update will include her
being home and on her way to recovery.
We still need your prayers.
God bless you all.

Update on (Sara) Helen Perdicaris Eady
Helen is now 18 days in the Hospital. She had a bone marrow byopsy yesterday and
we are awaiting the results to see if she requires more Chemo, hopefully
not. She continues to be in good spirits and fighting this dreadful disease.
She still is suffering from hemorrhoids, ulcers in her month brought on by the
Chemo treatments and a bruised toe that she bumped on the IV machine going to
the bathroom. All these things are slow to healing due to her lack of immune
system.
Helen has received your cards and well wishes and is most grateful for your
outpouring of love and concern.
If she does not require any more Chemo, they will build up her system with
more blood transfusions, white blood cells, and other treatments to prepare her
for a Bone Marrow transplant.
She can accept phone calls at 863-687-1200 ask for room B653 and remember
ask for Sara Eady. She can also receive your e-mails and Facebook messages. She
will be slow to respond because I usually read them to her. Your continued prayers are working, she feels the hand of God on her and in
her heart.
God bless each of you.

Here is the movie "Impulse" and if you want to see the 'walk-on' they gave me, it's at the dinner party about minute 27. Plus in the credits, there I am listed as the Art Director. You can see the portrait of the Duke of Wellington hanging over the mantle in Ruths 'home', the same one hanging here today!! I stayed with Jennifer Bishop when I visited Hollywood.
