Doesn't sound like Mary is doing to good. She will turn 98 on her birthday. She is at WestRidge in Knoxville. Daughers Marlene and Rosemary are keeping an eye on their mother. Aunt Lois asked me to let the family know.

Hand Surgery
Dick had what they classified as Duputren's Contracture on his hand. He could not lay his hand down flat. The doctor had said once this happened they would have to do surgery. If he waited too long, there was no correcting this and he would permantely loose the range of the knuckle. As you can see below, the tendon on his "ring finger" was pulled tight not allowing the finger to fully extend. He could not pick up anything and had no grip with that hand.
Dick went into surgery on Thursday, 20th and came through the surgery just fine. He will have to wear his "boxing glove bandage" for approximately 10-14 days. He will then head back to the doctor to see how the hand is progressing. He is not to use his left hand until then. What causes this??? They say it is inherited. Thank goodness he is right handed.

Coming Home From War
To All Our Family,
We have word that Tony Hunter(Teresa's husband) is heading home from his special Assignment in Afghanistan. Him and his unit are in Kabul at this time. They left the Southeastern part of Afghanistan just a short time ago from where they have been for almost a year.
We are asking for everybody's Prayers for Tony and his unit to have a safe trip back to our Free Country. We are so anxious for his return. He will be a grandpa this next January 2013 and is looking forward to that. Teresa, Jennifer, Josh & Jessica can't wait to see him and get their family back to normal. We will have the privilege of their visit to our home around the middle of October. We are excited about that.
Thanking Everyone in Advance.
Trudy & Larry

Willie DeJoode
Hi all!
As many of you may already know Willie DeJoode (my grandpa) fell a couple weeks ago and broke his hip. He had surgery and as a result is now at Mill Pond in Ankeny recovering and receiving therapy. He is extremely homesick this time more so than last time he was there. He keeps saying he wants to come home already but the problem is he can't walk yet. While I realize many of you cannot make the trek to Mill Pond in Ankeny to visit with him I would like to ask if you would consider taking a minute to write him a note or send him a card; it doesn't have to be anything fancy. Perhaps just some words of encouragement or a funny story you remember involving him to help lift his spirits. He LOVES getting mail and I know that he would love to hear from as many of you as possible. He can receive mail at Mill pond at the below address:
1201 Southeast Mill Pond Court
Attn: Willie DeJoode room #28B
Ankeny, IA 50021
Mill Pond Telephone: (515) 964-2273
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers while he is there. I will try to keep this updated on his progression and when he finally will get to go home.
Warm Regards,
Katie
