I received an update from Hilma Brown today and her recovery from her shoulder surgery is going well. She went to see her surgeon today and will start physical therapy next Tuesday, April 5th. Continued prayers for her comfort and healing. We’ve been missing her at Hollydale!
Joyce is home! She is feeling better but says she feels weak. Hoping she can get some rest (you never get sleep in the hospital) and gets stronger every day. Thanks for the prayers as they have certainly been felt. Keep them coming!
Update on Joyce - 3/25/22
Praises! Joyce's daughter-in-law said Joyce may be going home today! Will confirm once she is home. Thanks for your continued prayers.
Update on Joyce Shonkwiler.... 3/24/22
Please continue to keep Joyce in your prayers. This is an update from Gail Black.
Joyce is slowly improving. She walked farther today than yesterday, eating well and in good spirits. We are hoping she can be discharged by the weekend. We appreciate the cards, phone calls, love and prayers. She is looking forward to being back at church soon.
On Mary Justice, from Beth:
We have received an update from the Pulmonologist regarding the Chest-Abdomen-Pelvis CT. It was not the news we were hoping for. The scan revealed a spot on her right lung, her middle chest cavity via the lymph nodes and there is also a spot on her liver.
She will have a lung biopsy on Monday and then potentially will go home while we wait for results. She will then follow up with Kaiser for her treatment plan.
She still has a pending spinal tap to test her cerebral fluid. Could happen today or over the weekend. There is also an order to move her from ICU to the regular room.
3/25/22 - UPDATE FROM BETH ON Mary E Justice
Neuro just left. No plans for discharge anytime soon. First step is the Chest Abdomen Pelvis CT to check for any other tumors. If they find one, they will biopsy that and If no other tumors are found, then we either do biopsy of brain mass or a resection (?) to remove as much as they can. She got a 10mg dose of steroids will get additonal doses every 6 hours. She's complaining of low back pain from simply laying flat on her back and her medical team has been wonderful at getting that addressed along with everything else. There is talk of possibly moving her out of ICU to a regular room but nothing definite on that. ICU nurse loves her cause she said moms such an easy patient. Ha! The nurse believes she can have 2 visitors at a time. If more are here, it is unclear whether they can wait inside the hospital or not. Mom is okay with visitors, I just ask that you reach out and let me know so I can coordinate as best I can.

Please keep Mary E Justice in your prayers. Many are friends with Mary on Facebook and have seen the concerns expressed the past few days about her health. Below is an update from Beth. Please pray for answers, comfort and healing. Thank you.
Update on mom:
Her CT this morning revealed a mass and swelling on the right side of brain. She was referred to Emory St. Josephs for an MRI and Neuro eval. We only got the first part of that completed. She is being admitted so they can treat the swelling with IV steroid treatment and monitor her. Tomorrow she meets with Neuro team, has a biopsy, possibly another MRI and anything else her Internal Medicine team orders. There was mention of a CT CAP and PETSCAN on her CT report from this morning.
As I finish this up, they are prepping to move her to a room.

Update received today on Ms. Joyce…..
Angie, Joyce’s daughter-in-law called Gail and told her Joyce slept well last night and is eating better. They are going to start her on medication for vertigo today. Thanks for all the prayers and keep them going.
Please continue to keep Joyce Shonkwiler in your prayers. Joyce is at Cobb Wellstar (not Kennestone as previously mentioned) and waiting for some test results from her fall. Her son Marty is with her. Gail spoke with her this morning and Joyce said she is very dizzy and can't lift her head without feeling dizzy. Marty,her son sent Gail an update and said that the test results they’ve got back so far
are normal which is good, but still trying to determine why she passed out and fell. Please pray for answers for Joyce and healing. Thank you.
Please keep Joyce Shonkwiler in your prayers. Joyce fell and hit her head and was taken by ambulance earlier today to Cobb Kennestone hospital. They aren’t sure how or why she fell, her BP was high and don’t know if she may have had a stroke or vertigo caused her to fall. Prayers for answers, comfort and healing for Joyce. Thank you.

Surgery went well and I'm back home.
From Susan Davis:
My daughter Kristen asked for prayer for her Aunt Sue Ridinger and her family. Below is her message regarding Sue’s mother and sister. Prayers for comfort and healing. Thank you.
Will you send out a prayer request for Sue Ridinger and family? (Uncle Phil's wife). Her mother passed away from Covid over the weekend. Also, Sue's sister (Carol King) has Covid and is not doing very well. She has underlying lung issues and they're not sure of her prognosis yet. They just found out about her sister yesterday.
Please keep Mary, Gail Black’s sister in your prayers. Mary starts with Hospice today and will have no more treatments. Prayers especially for her husband and son who have done a great job taking care of her during this difficult time. Prayers for Gail and all her family as well. Thank you.
Please keep Hilma Brown in your prayers. Hilma will undergo shoulder surgery this next week on February 4th. Prayers for the medical team and for comfort and healing for Hilma. Thank you.
Please keep Shirley Robertson in your prayers. She will be undergoing knee replacement surgery in early February. Prayers for comfort and a successful surgery and recovery.
Please be in prayer for Melissa Wheeler Black and her family. Melissa’s granny passed away today and she posted the message below.
Today was a hard day… I lost my favorite person… my Granny. Everyone called her Granny, even in the middle of a memory care unit where everyone was a “granny”. She’s one of the reasons I’m this sassy and confident. It is very difficult to see a loved one be slowly taken by dementia. I’m very thankful for her love and support and I will miss her very much. ❤️
From Susan Davis:
Please keep my daughter Kristen Ridinger in your prayers. Kristen has been dealing with problems in her hips and knees and recently went to a orthopedic doctor to see what the problem is. They did x-rays and said her knees were fine, but her hips are not. They diagnosed her with Avascular Necrosis and said she would require a double hip replacement within the next year or two. Basically a bone has trauma and is not getting blood supply and has died, so it's bone on bone in her hip area. The doctor indicated this is quite common in young adults between 30 and 50 years old. We are going tomorrow for a follow up visit to see what her next steps will be and when surgery might be possible. Pray for answers, comfort and healing for her as she's hurting all the time. Thank you.
