ValleyRD Mailing List: Bonnie Hall

[Bob Heiser (w7ikt]

We Round Dancers have a great  "Prayer/Support Group".  This has been pr oven not only with my health but several other of our dancers.  We now have to add Bonnie Hall (the lady that dances with the hat on) to our list.  Bonnie went to California a couple of weeks ago to help take care of her sister-in-law who has been diagnosed with brain cancer.  While there she visited her girlfriend who was her maid-of-honor at her and Mikes wedding.  They walked down hill to town to do some shopping and on the way back up the hill Bonnie had a hard time catching her breath.  She also had a leg swell up a little but the next day it seemed OK and she told herself she was out of shape and needed to walk more.   A couple of days later the leg started hurting again and so she went to the doctor.  They discovered a blood clot in the leg and immediately rushed her to the hospital where she was admitted to ICU.  The medicine they administered (heparin) required constant care and that is why she was in ICU.  While there they did more tests and found more blood clots in her lungs.  She has now been moved to a normal room and is now being given blood thinners (cumadin - computer can't even spell check ths one!!!).    The clots have shrunk some but not as much as the doctors hoped they would.  She will be on blood thinners for at least 3 months.  They will not release her from the hospital until she is stable with the blood thinner.  She is in good spirits and Mike flew out to be with her yesterday (Wednesday the 3rd of July).  She has her computer so she can receive e-mails and can work on her quilting.  If anyone would like to send her a card it can be mailed in care of her brother.    Bonnie Hall, % Kirk Feyerabend, 27 Shore Drive, Pleasanton, CA 94566.  I will send up dates - remember, no news is good news.
