WARNINGS TO WARRIORS – from Smoke Signals medical advisor Dr. Vinny
Boombatz
Unless your child is in pain, lethargic or especially
cranky, a mild fever, up to 102 degrees, is
probably best left untreated. Fevers help stimulate the body’s immune system
and kill bacteria and
viruses that don’t survive the higher body temps. The exception, kids less than
six months of age for
whom any fever warrants a call to the doctor.
HELPFUL
HINTS From Smoke

FROM THE LAUGH
TRACK
She married and had 13 children then her husband died. She married again and
had 7 more children.
Again, her husband died. But, she remarried and this time had 5 more children.
Alas, she finally died.
Standing before her coffin, the preacher prayed for her. He thanked the Lord
for this very loving woman
and said, "Lord, they're finally together."
One mourner leaned over and quietly asked her friend, "Do you
think he means her first, second or
third husband?” The friend replied," I
think he means her legs."

May 25th – Sweet Baby James –Paula Wicker’s Grandson, James had the
tenth surgery on Friday
for the shunt replacement.
All was functioning well when we left
Nashville on Saturday around 6 PM. The attending pediatrician
said on Friday
night that he did not think there would be anymore surgery for James now, and
that
he would be going home soon. (Of course, barring anything else, but then we are
not thinking like that!)
The eye doc will review his
condition after the surgery three weeks ago to reattach the left retina and
do some more work? on the right eye. Whatever the outcome of the vision, James
is very much alive!!!
He "slurped" down his
bottle while we were there and "scared" himself with a loud BURP!! He
opened
his eyes and looked around!!!
Thanks for your
prayers...going home will be hard for Mom and Dad because they will not have
instant access from the nurses right there. They'll do it!!

HENRY’S CORNER
Speaking of To kill a Mockingbird, we were weren’t we,
the 1962 adaptation of
the great Harper Lee novel was rated as the best movie of the ‘60’s according
to a Yahoo survey and the 2nd most inspirational film of all time by
the
American Film Institute. The film is the story of depression era lawyer Atticus
Finch, played by Gregory Peck, who defends a black man against a false rape
charge in the Deep South. The movie marked the first film appearance by
Robert Duvall. Duvall played Arthur 'Boo' Radley a mysterious neighbor, who,
according to rumors
was an evil predator who preyed on small children. Atticus Finch was selected
as the top screen
hero of all time by the American Film Institute. The film won three Oscars
including one for Peck’s
portrayal of the conscientious attorney. The character Dill was modeled after
author Harper Lee's
childhood friend, Truman Capote.
The herpes family of viruses can have a surprising upside--it can
protect against the bubonic plague
and other bacterial contagions, at least in mice.
People who own pets live longer, have
less stress, and have fewer heart attacks. They also have
less money.
