Dear Federation Family:

Some of you may know a few of our members from over the years.

Kathy Roskos has been dealing with health issues over the past months and has been hospitalized at UFHealth in Gainesville since last Saturday. She was having difficulty breathing due to fluid in her lung, and she was being treated for "walking pneumonia." She has liver function issues that the fluid was going into the lung. They are doing a lot of G.I. tests to see if she can tolerate a liver transplant. She has an upper endoscopy procedure tomorrow. She has had a time. Earlier this month, she returned her guide dog to Seeing Eye because she needed to resolve her health issues and she felt they could find another partner for his productivity. He is 2 years old. I got to visit her at UFHealth, Shands this afternoon with Carrie Zubillaga, and Carrie's mother, Pat. Kathy was in good spirits and she is on Oxygen. I am not sure how many more tests they are going to do before they decide what they are going to do. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers and if you know anyone who donates blood and can do so, the blood supply in our country is low.

Another long time member of our chapter, Lenora McGowan is in another hospital across town. She had a pacemaker put in sometime between Palm Sunday and Easter. She also has a lot of health issues in addition to the latest. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

I will try to keep you informed on how we are doing whenever I hear more. My Email and contact information are below in case you want to contact me off list.

Thanks.

Judy Hamilton
