From John & Judy Lardin
This winter has not been a good one for John Lardin. The weather in FL this year was not good as we normally got 1.9 in. of rain in Jan. and this year we had 19 in. of rain. The month of Feb. was mostly cloudy with the daily temp lucky to get in the mid 70’s. March was more to all likings with the temp finally hitting the low to mid 80s. The only thing to add was the two tornados that were within two miles of the condo. On the personal level John was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in Jan. and given a cortisone shot hoping to relieve the pain. Unfortunately this did not help so John was stuck with the pain and made arrangements to have the hip replaced on his return to MI on April 18th. The blood work showed his count at 8.2 and should have been between 11.2 and 11.5. The hip replacement was cancelled and a colonoscopy was performed on April 20th and a tumor was discovered in the lower part of the colon. A colonoscopy will be performed on April 29th to remove the tumor and hope the tumor has not moved into the lipoids and chemo will not be necessary and the hip replacement will be completed as soon as possible. We thank all for your prayers a well wishes.
With John’s condition not improving he was fortunate to have his “Little” Brother fly down to Ft. Myers FL and drive back with Judy to MI. There is no way that John physically could have made the drive. Just another example of the caring and love of the TRY-V Family that continues.
