This morning (Thursday) LaDarla was talking much stronger, and she is not so 'out of breath'. She is still in ICU, but her white blood count is down to nearly normal, and I think they have gotten rid of some of the excess fluid. They may move her to a regular room soon, but I'm sure she will be in the hospital for several more days. She is still very weak. Sue

Please send my best wishes to LaDarla!  I'm praying for her too! Kind regards, Dee __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

Sue, Would it be possible for us to send LaDarla cards?    Sometimes, when one feels so bad, they can be overwhelming.  Other times they help us to know folks are thinking of us and sending warm thoughts our way as well as their prayers.

David Pitts has finished the "index of names" for the 1950 & 1952 Bridgeport Index newspapers that we have (we found no papers for 1951). He did a GREAT JOB, indexing nearly all the names in the papers. There's over 2,000 listings in his index !!! Check it out. (Be patient. Page is big, and a little slow) http://www.wisecountytexas.info/bridgeportindex/1950&52-names.htm
