Judy Howard Smart

3/5/09

Judy had surgery yesterday and they were going to try to take her off the vent today. They say she is doing well and can follow commands. The family did not know about Judy's speech or how she was affected from the surgery. There is another spot on Judy's brain but the Dr chose not to do anything to it at this time.


Judy Howard Smart had an anerysm last week and is in a hospital in St. Louis. Her family came back home Sunday at the insistence of her doctor who says she needs to be quiet and they can't visit her right now. Apparently she and Ivan were at Wal-Mart where they had picked up her new glasses and she went to the bathroom before they were going to leave for home. Another woman came running out of the bathroom saying Judy was sick. The anerysm caused her to fall. The hospital in Poplar Bluff transferred her by helicopter to St.Louis. The doctor in St.Louis thinks she will be OK but it will take time.Debby Haywood (Judy's cousin) is the one who gave me this information. Linda Ort

I just heard that Judy suffered an anurism at PB walmart and that it will be at least 10 days before they can do surgery. I also heard she was air lifted to Cape.

As soon as more information is received it will be posted.

Thanks to the class members who keep us informed about other class members! Mike Howell called to give information as well and he says he is doing fine after his surgery.
