Thanks for the update. You may think we don't want to hear some of this stuff, but we do and we can pray specifically!!  Alice, Blain and I love you and I say go for comfort!!  What ever feels good!!!

~Rita~

We will be praying for her and u too . Tell Alice Bald Is BEAUTIFUL! Buy some hats they are cheaper. :)Get some good book and something to keep her mind off of the nausea' Love u guys

Update on Alice

The surgery went well, the Dr. said that she got all of the cancer she could find. The chemo treatment will take care of anything that is left. The chemo makes her sick but so far she is doing pretty good. Her next treatment is March 7. She is supposed to have 6 to 10 treatments, depending on how well it works. We are going to look for a wig pretty soon, they said she will loose her hair by the second treatment, but all and all she is hanging in there. The nausea and dry heaves seem to be the worst. Please keep us in your prayers.

Daniel and Alice

Just checkin' in to see how the two of you are doing.  Haven't heard from you since you got home?  How is Alice after the Chemo and Sx.  I know she is tough as nails but still...

 
~Rita~

Maybe Daddy was named after Grandpa's brother, Lonnie. ~Rita~

Talked to Carol and yes the lady was  Ralphs

cousin.Her dad was Grandpa Treadways brother Herbert.I never knew him. But the two Stover ladies were not close related..

 

See Ya,  Goldie

OK, I knew either Goldie or Carol would give us the rest of the story.  You all know, if you still have questions you want answered about the Treadway family, you'd better get them before Goldie and Carol go to Heaven!!  I don't know who else we will ask!!  Goldie and Carol...ya'll don't have to be in no hurry now!  There's Joy too.  She could probably shed some light on things.  It's a good thing to know that Mary and Eliza Stover were not kin, even though they lived in the same community :)

I went to the Osborne Funeral today, as did, Teresa and Steve, Marcia and Lonnie, and the entire Crag Community.  The place was full...I saw alot of Mommy and Daddy's Neighbors.  It was so sad.  Three Coffins in a row...all alike...with a flower arrangement on each.   Norman Fleshman did the service and their cousin prayed.  You DID feel a sense of Community in the room.  

Hey,

No the lady was not Grandma Treadway's sisters daughter.Aunt Ollie was married to school teacher named Grafton Williams and they didn,t have any children.

Proably this lady,s mother was a Stover from up the river. You know both great grandmothers were Stovers. they said they were no relation.Great grandma Treadway was Mary Stover and Great grandma Buzzard was Eliza Stover...They proably are related,but you know how we people are..haha

It was awful to hear about the Osbornes. I didn't know Lacy's people,but when the obit was posted..I did know his two brothers... Laton and Melvin were both members of the VFW..

 

Take care and PRAY for us..

Love  Goldie

 
~Rita~

Wendy said devin had the cough and crud and I told her I would put him on our blog for prayer!

Obit

I believe this was Daddy's first Cousin??  Wasn't Ollie Grandma Treadway's sister?  I wonder if Daddy was named after her husband?  Just wondering?

I'm planning to go to the Osborne's funeral.  They have opened our road that was blocked last night.

Jeff Briant actually found them Rita.  I remember him saying that he didn't show up for work though.  After they couldn't raise them on the phone, he started calling some of the neighbors and Jeff finally went to check on them Tuesday afternoon. Him and his wife were still up there when I went up after work.  Jeff said that Danny had been to there house to watch the Superbowl.  When he found them Danny still had the same clothes and coat on that he had when he left his house.  Probably came home right in the middle of it all.  Very Sad. :(

I believe it was Jimmy Bennett who found them, Isn't that right Steve?  Vonda, I believe you went to school with him.  I heard that Michael was supposed to do some work for him that day and when he didn't show up, Jimmy went to check on him.  It is such a tragedy.  I saw Danny at the Dawson Gas Station about 3 Weeks ago and he was telling me that he was working at Bika's  but was going to try to get on where Steve works.  I told him I would pray about that with him!  He was saying how the place just wasn't the same with Daddy and Mommy gone and how much work Steve had to do to keep it like Daddy did.  I told him that it was a full time job and Steve could only work Part-time because he had to work a job.  =)   He seemed happy that Steve was his neighbor again though.

Ruth, from what the neighbor said that found them, the inside of the house had been on fire, mainly in the kitchen. Mike was my age, Danny was a few years older, and Lace was Mom and Dads age. Lace has two sisters that are in there eighties. I work with there first cousin Timmy. His dad was Laces brother. It appears to have happened Sunday night and they were found Tuesday afternoon. The boys were probably trying to get Lace out of the house from the looks of where they found them. He was bedfast.

Steve, does the Osbornes have relatives around? Were the three of them all there were in the family? What actually happened?

Glad to hear you made it home for a spell.  We love you guys and we are expecting more good news.  Keep us posted. Steve and Teresa.

Hi Everyone, Alice had a good day, she was able to get the port installed, eat a baked potato, peas, ice cream and take the first treatment. We will wait now and see what the chemo does for the nest 18-24 hrs. Hopefully we will be headed home tomorrow.

Love and Prayers
Joe and Alice

so sorry to hear about your uncle Teresa , and about the Osborns. We just never know. Alice so glad to hear you are keeping some food down .praise the Lord .

No David hasn,t gotten a room mate yet but im sure it wont be long.Love you all.Have a Good Day In The Lord.

I am so very sorry to hear about the Osbornes. Were these all children of Lacy and Helen, or is Lacy the father? Helen and Danny stayed with us in Charleston when Danny had some kind of surgery years ago. Are they all the family, or were there others away from home?

Alice, I am so glad to hear that you are able to keep some food down. My prayer this morning was that your chemo not be hard on you.

Alice, that is good news for you! So glad the food is staying down. Praise the Lord! Daniel, where are you staying while you are there with Alice? In the room with her? I hate that she has that 3 or 4 hours drive back. Will she have to come back to Louisville for each treatment?

I was so sorry to hear about the Osbourns. And your uncle too, Teresa.

Alice

Hi Everyone, Our day wet well. They took the ng tube out this morning and she was able to eat some ice cream and tomato soup. Tomorrow they are schedule to put the chemo port in and give her the first treatment. They will observe her for 24 hours after the chemo and if all is well we may be able to come home on Thursday.

Love and Prayers

UBreaking News in Three Counties Keeps Emergency Responders Busy - Beckley, Bluefield & Lewisburg News, Weather, Sports

Danny, Michael, and lacy Osborne ( mommy and daddys neighbors) were all found dead in their home. Apparently a fire inside their home with smoke inhalation. Steve went up and may be able to shed a little more light on it.

Happy Birthday!

We are having a birthday get together at Meadow Grove Baptist Church on February 18th from 2-4 for Jesse, Danny, and Jacob. We will have lots of food and lots of cake! No gifts! Hope to see everyone there!

I continue to pray for Alice and for you too, Danny H.

Teresa, I am sorry to hear about your Uncle Wayne. Likewise, Vonda, we were sorry to hear of David's roommate's passing. Has David gotten a new roommate yet?

It has been brought to my attention that our vital family information (which we tracked in the book we made for Daddy) has not been updated since before Marleigh's birth which was on March 8, 2010 (Monica, correct me if I am wrong). We would like birthdates (of those born into the family or added by marriage), marriage dates and divorce dates (of course I have Mommy's and Daddy's death dates). Those of you who have had any of these occur in your family please e-mail that information to me or put it on the blog and I will update that for everyone.

Trish, I, too, really like the blog's new look. Why, if I were just half as technically savvy as you are, I might be dangerous!

Daniel and Alice you are both in our prayers and we love you guys.

Also, I would like for you all to pray for my family we lost my Uncle Wayne this evening at about 10:30. He was a great man who will be greatly missed.

Happy birthday Kaiden!

Rita, remember this:

Children are often spoiled because no one will spank Grandma.

Happy Birthday, Kaiden.

Update on Alice
Hi Everyone, Alice's condition is improving, but slowly, today we are supposed to try a liquid diet again. They aren't putting in a port for chemo today , They are going to wait until she is feeling better because Alice said they were =). We refused to have it put in today until at least she can eat and keep it down.We may be able to be discharged by Thursday.
God is GOOD
Love and Prayers

Daniel, Give Alice our love and let her know she is in our prayers...You too Danny!!  Can you believe it!??  Today my baby boy turns 4.  Where has the time gone?  And how did he get so spoiled in such a short time!!  Somebody needs to step up and take responsibility for that!! =)  Happy Birthday Kaiden!

~Rita~

He does but he has mommy's chin.

I think Steve looks like daddy in the new picture!

Alice

She had a rough night last night, she threw-up most of the night, so they put in a pump. Hopefully this will keep her stomach empty until it wakes up from the surgery. Please say a prayer for us at church today. Monday is supposed to be the cemo port.

Love and Prayers

Love the new look of the blog

Update on Alice

They took the epidural out today and tried to put her on full liquid but she couldn't keep it down. She sat in a chair for about a hour and then had to go back to bed. We are hoping that tomorrow she may be able to try the full liquid diet again. They are putting in a port for chemo on Monday.
Please pray that she will be able to keep her food down.
Love and Prayers

Alice we love you guys and you are in our prayers. Just remember that our God is a great big God!

Praise the Lord!!!  I'm glad to hear that Alice's surgery went well.  We'll continue to pray for complete recovery and ease with the chemo treatment.

Dan, just how cold is it in Ohio?  I must say I've never seen your face like that before so............ I dreamed about you last night LOL!!  Can't remember exactly what the dream was about but I do remember you roaming around in my head!!  :P

Janet, your Dad is catching up with the Treadway gals lol!!  Tell him if he needs some practice he can send me an email too :)  Love to all 

Ruth, yes they took everything female.

Daniel & Alice~  Praying for you and we love you!  Keep us all posted!

Recovery

Hi Everyone, Alice is resting well and they are going to get her up sometime today if she is able. The incision was a 9 inch vertical from the lower abdomen. The chemo Dr. said they were going to give her a treatment of chemo before she leaves if they can. They will be using Carboplatin and Taxol for about 6 to 9 treatments. The treatments will be on a 3 week schedule and will last about 4 to 5 hours each.
Thanks for the prayers and continue to pry for us

Looks like Grizzly Adams uncle :)

Daniel, by "complete hysterectomy" are you saying they also removed the ovaries?

Praises to the Lord God is Good.

Alice's Surgery

The doctor came in with a good report, Praise the Lord! She said they removed all the cancer that they could see. there is probably some cells that they could not see and so she will have to have at least 12 rounds of chemo. The cancer was aggressive so they will have to fight it aggressively. They removed 2 liters of fluid from her which the cancer was producing in her body. They done a total hysterectomy and took out some fat cells from her stomach. They are sure that the caner started in the uterus and not the ovaries. It was a stage 4 cancer. she will be in recovery for about an hour. We will probably be in Louisville for a week.

Daniel said she is outta surgery and they got it. Will update later

Daniel said they just took Alice in for surgery.

Daniel and Alice we are praying, for a good report.

Trish~I love the pic that you posted, I would like a copy of it, PLEASE!

Oh my goodness, she does!  And would you look at Dwayne!  

Alice, we are praying for you.  Vonda, I love the song you posted.  

It has been like Spring her the last few days...The birds are singing and I imagine the flowers are ready to pop out of the ground.  Bobbie's are prabably already bloomed.

vonda looks like Lorie in this pix!

God is bigger than anything..

Hi Everyone, Please remember us in prayer tomorrow, we go to the Hosp. in the morning for check in and the surgery is Thursday at 9:00. I'll keep you updated when I know something.

David and Julie your breakfast nook looks really nice .Good Job!!!!

David and Julie~ I love your little breakfast nook, looks great.

We finally finished our breakfast nook, just off the kitchen, where we then put the table that used to belong to Julie's Mom and Dad when she and I were going steady. Daddy and Mommy then got it and used it in her kitchen when Julie's Mom and Dad moved back to Arkansas. Teresa the flower arrangement on the table is the one we had you make for Mommy just before she died. Doesn't both of them look well together. The decoration on the wall was a Christmas gift from Michelle, Joe, and the girls in Grom Germany. Does it match well?

I can't believe how much vonda looks like lorie at that age! Great pictures:)

HAZEL

I got this from our cousin tonight. I am going to try and go to the services at the cemetery and will send flowers from all of us. You know they were born within a year of each other and died almost the same way.

>
> First I have to apologize for not keeping in touch with you. Pray all is well with you and your family. Mom is doing well. She has her days where she does not feel well but at 87 years young I guess we have to expect those.
>
> I do not know if Bill has contacted you or not but Hazel passed away yesterday around 5:00. She had been in the hospital and then transfered to a nursing home. She had so many problems I don't know what it was in the end, she just went to sleep.
> There will be only a grave side service on Saturday at 11:00. She is going to be buried right out side of Beckley at Mount Tabor Cemetery where Roger, Uncle Wood, Aunt Gertie and Peachie are buried. I am taking Mom in on Friday and coming home on Sunday. We are staying at Americas Best Value Inn on Harper Road.

> Please keep us in your prayers as we travel.

While we were gone this weekend, Mr. Wonderful (aka Steve) and Mr.
Wonderful II (aka Blain) put in a new Countertop and sink for me.
Blain talked to his mom, and she said the one they took out was at
least 40 years old. I think they got their moneys worth. This one is
cheap too, so if I get half the time out of this one that they did, I
will be satisfied. Bobbie, Don't you love the sink?? I'm going to
buy new barstools (3) if I can find some that will suit my decor! LOL

I spoke with Alice and Daniel and they said to tell everyone that
their Internet is messed up and that's why they can't post on the
