Prayers Needed

As most if not all of you know that Wally (Marie) has Mylodisplastic Syndrome evolving into Mylogenisus. He has had four rounds of chemo so far and his white count is still in the basement. On thursday he started vomiting and by Sat he was running a temp of 102. We took him to the ER and he was admitted to PCU which a one step down from ICU. He received two units of blood on Sunday morning and has IV fluid and antibiotics given via his port. PCU could not get his temp down so on Monday he was transfered to the ICU. He received two more units of blood and was put on a cooling blanket. His temp spiked to 104.8. He is now getting three different kinds of antibiotics, neupogen shots every 12 hours (these will help build up his white count). His temp actually got down to 98.8 so they took him off the cooling blanket. He made it off for four hours and his temp spiked again. So at this time he is back on the cooling blanket. Tonight he was complaining of chest pain and had to be given morphine for it. As if this wasn't enough to deal with, Bert and Sandra's daughter (our granddaughter) and her boyfriend went out on a paddle boat Monday night. A storm came up and the boat over turned. Our granddaughter made it to the opposite shore safely but her boyfriend could not swim and he has not been found yet. Our granddaughter tried to get to him but the waves prevented it. She was holding on to the paddle boat. Needless to say, there have been a lot of tears between the two events. We are still praying that he will be found alive, but doubt it very much. It was very cold last night and today, but then God does work miracles. We can sure use all the prayers that you can send our way. I will try to keep everyone updated. But I am not on the computer as much as I used to be. Love to all. Judy Messenger (Wally, Marie)

Loran retires

Loran (Charley) retired officially on the 7th of January. The kids cooked up a surprise retirement party for the 14th of March. The hard part was keeping Loran out of town from 10AM to 5:30PM while the kids arrived and got things set up and ready. It was also our 36th anniversary so we went to Flagstaff. We did some errands and went to a movie. I had to really stall after the movie. He was trying to be nice but I knew he had about had enough of waiting on me to get through Sam's Club and the various other places I drug him to. Loran was surprised when we arrived home and opened the garage door and saw the party waiting for him in the carport. We just basically had a nice dinner and gathered around in the family room after wards for some fun stories and laughs. He has been having a great time working in his garage and wood yard and doing a few trees and various other things for people. He seems to find plenty to do. Mostly he gets to sleep nights. I will not put in my resignation from my little school job until May so we are still a little tied down.

Congratulations Loran, enjoy the time with your family.

Re-enlistment in the Marine Corps

I am Jeffrey Hardy's wife, Sheri Hardy. Jeff is Curtis Hardy's oldest son. I wanted to share our blogspot address -hangingwiththehardys.blogspot.com (see link on sidebar) and to share some news of Jeff's re-enlistment again in the Marine Corps. He has been in the Marine Corps now for 12 years and re-enlisted for another 4 years. He was also promoted to Gunnery Sgt. last year. Our 10th wedding Anniversary was this past Sunday, March 15th. We are very proud of Jeff's hard working and committment.
This is SO great to get to know you since I haven't done that at the family reunions all these years. Jeffrey and I have talked about being part of the firework's mission each year but the Military has made that impossible in years prior, I'd really like to attempt this year since we are closer than we have been in years past. Jeffrey and I have a unique roll with his battalion of about 800 military families, it keeps us very busy. Plus we are full-time students. I just have to laugh when I think of all the craziness.
Have a great weekend!
Sheri

Thank you so much for sharing your family news. Congratulations all the way around on all of the good news! Looking forward to knowing you better - Marcy

Eileen Howells Daley's Obituary

Eileen Howells Daley 1963 ~ 2009 BRIGHAM CITY - Eileen Howells Daley passed away peacefully on Thursday, March 12, 2009 at her home surrounded by her loved ones. She fought a three year battle with pancreatic cancer.
Eileen was born on March 29, 1963 in Vernal, Utah, a daughter to Tom and Fay Stephens Howells. She grew up in Vernal and cherished her childhood memories there. She loved to go back to visit and to play. She graduated from Uintah High school in 1981, participating in Student Government and the Volleyball team.

Eileen married her sweetheart, Gordon Daley, in the Logan LDS Temple on August 16, 1984. They were blessed with four children: Jake, Mitch, Whitney, and Luke. She has no grandchildren yet, but expects her children to work on that.

For most of her life she was a labor and delivery nurse at LDS Hospital, which she absolutely loved. She loved her nursing friends, colleagues, and the children.

In 2000 she moved to Brigham City and found a place where her children flourished and felt like home for her. Eileen's passion was her family and she loved to spend time with them whether it was traveling, trying to pass them on the 4-wheelers in the mountains, or playing games around the table, she wanted to be with them.

She also loved making quilts for her family and left many as her legacy. She is survived by her husband, Gordon, children: Jake, Mitch, Whitney, and Luke. Her mother, Fay Howells; her siblings, Tom, LeAnn (John) Halgren, Stephen (Amber), Vivian (Scott) Gardner, Laura (Ed) Schirner, Devin (Jody), many nieces and nephews and friends who love her.

Many thanks to the staff of the Huntsman Cancer Center, especially Dr. Weiss and Mulvihill who were amazing and the staff at Alpine Hospice; Tonya, Lindsey, and Dr. Markeson who were there whenever we need them.

Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, March 17, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. at the Brigham City North Stake Center, 620 North 300 East, Brigham City.

Martineau Update

(Eric, Melvin, Hattie) Eric is working in Mexico, and Diane and the girls are living with Diane’s parents in Minnesota. Diane’s father was in a bad accident a year ago, and Diane’s gone back to “the farm” for a school year to help.
Jose Barry (Eric, Melvin, Hattie) is still on his mission in Guatemala. He’s working in the highlands of Guatemala with the Mayans, speaking his third language. He returns in Aug of this year.
Erica Fe (Eric, Melvin, Hattie) is in West Virginia. Her first area has a large Hispanic population, and since she is the only native Spanish speaking sister in the mission, has stayed in this area since arriving in Aug. 08. Her companions are learning Spanish.

Thank you for the update.

A suggestion

Thank you for the blog updates. I was thinking it might be fun if there was a blog list of everyone's family sites (only people that want theirs listed of course). This way, if we had time and wanted to we could see more details about what everyone is up to. Just a suggestion... Great job with the blog and thank you for your time updating it!
Adrienne & Clint Jacobs (Cheryl, Bobbi)

If you are interested in having your personal family blog listed on the Warrenehardyblog list let Marcy know and we can certainly add it. Thank you for your input Adrienne & Clint.
