Hi Everyone; Sorry, I've been swamped. My prayers for Taylor and all those working with him to help him get better quickly. Lu-Ann you are in my prayers also. Congrats Linda your family is growing. Very exciting stuff.
My MIL is at Sutter on F street. I was not able to go down (grandson duties). She had a fourth stint put in (now has three on one side and one on the other side). She is expected home today. Much releif and thanks giving for all of your prayers. They thought that she would need it, but did not do it two years ago. Probably because of her physical stability. She is in much better shape now. She has been attending a Cardiac class twice a week and it has helped greatly.
I have my first memorial service on Saturday at North San Juan. The family are amazing folks. My prayers for all of your sailors, Susan

I received the following messages from LuAnn this weekend. Prayers for a speedy recovery for her son.
Received from LuAnn on Saturday, September 11, 2010
Friends and Family
Taylor was rushed to the hospital late yesterday afternoon with a collapsed lung (spontaneous pneumothorax – a type of collapsed lung for which doctors have few answers). He called saying his chest was severely hurting as well as his back. He is being treated at the Army hospital on the base in Pearl Harbor. They performed surgery in the emergency room by inserting a tube to let the escaped air surrounding his lung out, checking for bacteria related incident, and then work towards inflating the lung back to normal. I talked to him briefly in the ambulance, waiting for surgery and then after recovery. I am in touch with his assigned nurse as well as his commanding officer. I am waiting to talk to the cardiac thoracic physician assigned to him this morning. My friend who is head of nursing at Stanford and who was also in the Navy, is keeping me well in formed on the procedure, recovery and questions to ask the doctor in between waiting for direct communication. Dealing with the military personal can be daunting and confusing. I am waiting to a make decision to go to Hawaii. I need to find out his recovery time and what that means in terms of time off from duty on the boat. All of that will be determined by his doctor and commanding officer of his sub. Taylor sounded fine but of course scared and then medicated for pain. They will take continual ex rays to watch the lung most of the next few days. everyone agrees, thank goodness that he was not out to sea or on one of the other islands. It would have not been good. Pearl has great medical facilities. For right now he is stable and they are on top of it, so to speak. Below I have copied some information on what happened. Somewhat common and unexplainable. Taylor is in very good health as we all know, but he is exhausted from his intense command assignment. Some well deserved time off is what I am praying for him. By the way his phone is out of juice, of course so no contacting him at this point. I do have a line to the nursing station, his room, and the commanding officers cell phone. You can send Taylor an email which he will pick up eventually on his phone or when he gets home. I will keep anyone interested in the loop on his condition. Please feel free to email if you want an update. I know everyone is concerned but also busy. I will let him know your support. Thank you as always for thinking of all our serving military.
Always prayers
LuAnn

I am not going (to Hawaii). staying here is what Taylor wants me to do for now. he has excellent care and is stable. he is out of the woods but still far from well. talk to doc everyday. I am already exhausted but that comes and goes. Put in on the naval wall if you want to, he is in Tripler Army Hospital. His sub days are over that we know for sure. It is a regulation of military. I have been talking to everyone in command on his boat. There will be alternatives but shore duty. he can't be in anything pressurized. he cannot fly for awhile obviously to even come here. I plan on seeing him on the back end. that is when he needs me most. right now he is being watched heavily by everyone. i want to talk to you so call me later tonight. friends are taking care of me.
LuAnn
I will find out if she wants any, lots or just a few comments on her FB Wall. Bee

Thanks for asking. It was amazing. The people are awesome. We got a phone call that D's mom is was on her way to the hospital. So, as soon as we got home I changed and we went to the hospital. We took G'pa to dinner and got her settled. Today they transported her to Sacramento to have heart surgery. Don't know if they are putting in another stint or something else. Lots of prayers for her. G'pa is very worried and for good reason. She is amazing so focused on him with no concern for herself.
Anyway, I'll be at North San Juan on Tuesday's and in the church office in Downieville on Thursday's. If anyone get's the chance to go up Highway 49 it is absolutely beautiful this time of year. Each church is so beautiful. I'm overwhelmed and feel so blessed.
The new family joke. 'We can just call you PS - you know the extra thought at the end of letter's and notes. You can just start singing PS - and we will all wait for you to catch up with the thought - - - - ' Well, I guess it is better than BS. Thank you all. I'll try to upload pictures soon.

Hello everyone, I haven't posted here for quite a while so wanted to say hello. Hasn't it been the most beautiful weather lately? (at least in Sac it has). Paymaster, i would love to help with the pillowcase project. Don't have much fabric, but I'll check w/my mom she probably has a ton. I can sew...at least enough to make a pillowcase! Will check the gorup.
Love that poster BQB, thanks for sharing it. What an emotional weekend reliving 9/11....
