Floyd & Marilyn Update…
Ok folks,
Overall it has been a good week for the both of them. I spent a little over four hours with them yesterday and dad was in good spirits and cutting up with us all! Marilyn slept most of the day but seemed to be doing OK considering. I finally had the pleasure of meeting both Claire and his wife Margo Marilyn’s brother and Sister In law that had flown in from Chicago. We were able to spend some time together and get to know each other and watched a little football with dad! I took Marilyn up some additional gowns two long sleeve and two short to go with the ones that Floyd Jr. had taken up last week!
Today Tanya and I stopped by and took Marilyn the book on CD Dear John (Eight CD’s total). Also, took dad a few DVD’s westerns for him to enjoy when he feels the need. He loves the old westerns so if anyone would like to send some please feel free to do so! I was able to locate Dad’s oxygen tank holder for his scooter and delivered it as well along with a new phone book for him. Along with Tanya and I, Don Ross, Jim & Jane Martin were there along with Claire and Margo. Today they were both doing well overall.
For all visitors I wanted to let you know you can eat in the cafeteria for only $5 and according to Clair and Margo it is pretty darn good food!
Also, for anyone wanting to call their room the number it is 1-918-543-0231 and if you don’t get an answer at first please call right back as the phone has been having some issues.
I’m just now headed back to San Diego for a short business trip so please feel free to call and or stop by as they would love to hear from you!
Thanks again for all your prayers and support!

I drove out to Inola after work yesterday to visit with Floyd and Marilyn. They were both awake and in pretty good spirits. Floyd wanted me to sign his book as soon as I got there. I chatted with him for a while and asked him if he needed anything and he said he could use some comfortable shorts to wear when he is in his chair. I told him I would try to find some and take out in a few days. Not really sure what size I should get, so Al or Floyd, Jr. if you know please let me know. He also asked for a phone book and we have a small extra one here at the office I will take him. I think the smaller size will be easier for him to handle.
I then went over to spend some time just talking with Marilyn. She seemed happy to see me and was trying to talk and awake the whole time I was there. She was asking for more gowns and I know Al had just taken her some more, but I told her I would check into it for her. I stayed for a little over an hour and told them I would be back soon and bring the shorts and phone book Floyd asked for.
