Hi,
I need to look at the calendar again, but I think we will be leaving on Saturday the 9th of June. We'll probably stop in Coffeyville for a day or so and come on through to Omaha. I'm sad to hear that Daddy's tube does not seem to be doing the job. I had to hear that, because I too feel confident that if we can get some nourishment into his body that he will get alot better. I'm so glad you stepped in and are taking matters into your own hands. I also feel like Daddy feels real good that you are stepping in as well. I spoke with Mom yesterday, daddy was sleep, so she really got a chance to tell me how everything really is. She too is now saying that Daddy is in pretty bad shape. I asked Daddy about the retirement, and he said the same thing, he is not ready yet. but the reality of it is, is that we still need to move now and not wait. I just hope he understands. I'm glad Daddy is not in alot of pain. I think with him seeing the boys will really cheer him up. It's so hard to face all of this uncertainty isn't it. The good part, if there is any, is that Daddy is going to a better place with no more suffering. He's certainly had a good life and we all want him to go on forever, but if there is pain involved, I 'd rather see him out of pain. Just keep praying for Daddy as well as Mom. If there is anything I can do from hear, just let me know. Talk with you later! -----Original Message----- From: "Mims, Charnella" <mimsc@ops.org<@ENRON [mailto:IMCEANOTES-+22Mims+2C+20Charnella+22+20+3Cmimsc+40ops+2Eorg+3E+40ENRON@ENRON.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 11:27 AM To: Mims, Patrice L. Subject: RE: I'm still waiting Hey girl, what's going on? When are you going to be here so I can clear my schedule. I have graduation tonight so I will probably be home late. The visiting nurse came out last night to check on daddy and to explain how to use the feeding tube. I went over there around 9:00p.m. from church. After she fed daddy thru the tube, he upchuck again. So this tells all of us that the feeding tube is not going to do the job. The main concern that is being expressed by everyone is we have to find some way to stop the vomiting. The Hospice nurse will be out today at 4:00 and I go back over there to hear what they have to say. Daddy goes to the new doctors on May 31. The main concern is the vomiting. We just have to hang in there and keep praying. After my doctor's visit with Daddy on Thursday, I had a hard time dealing with it on Friday. Everytime someone would ask me about it, I would start crying. I am doing better today and daddy's spirit seemed fine last night. I told Junior about the nurses on Saturday and I left it up to him to talk with Corey. The next thing I need to do is call Daddy's boss and ask him about his retirement. Even though he is eligible, he is not ready to take that final step. when junior and I were talking, we wondered about what would happen to the retirement (as far as Mom is concerned) if he does not officially retire? Daddy is still very optimistic as we all are. It is very important that his attitude stays positive. Enough for now. Talk with you later. -----Original Message----- From: Patrice.L.Mims@enron.com [mailto:Patrice.L.Mims@enron.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 10:32 AM To: mimsc@ops.org Subject: RE: I'm still waiting Hey girl, Sorry, I received all of your messages, but did not respond, sorry. So little C.J. looks like a "half-breed", (that's what you''re trying to say!). Is he cute? I can't wait to see him. Yes, I did talk to Teena yesterday afternoon, she sounded happy. I spoke with Daddy yesterday and told him to sit his butt down and stop trying to go to work, especially if there are no health benefits that he will be losing. Instead of concentrating on that job, I told him to concentrate on his health. He said I was right, and said he was going to seriously consider it. I had to laugh when he said he went to work and fell asleep reading or trying to throw away some paperwork. That was hilarious. Can you imagine the secretary going in and finding "little bitty" daddy sitting there asleep. I cracked up. The concert was good, you know those young men "showed out". However, the concert was supposed to start at 8 and did not start til 9 and had several acts before them and as a result, did not get out of the concert until 1:15 p.m. I was a tired sister, but it was well worth it. The Hilton Southwest is close to me, its right be Sharpstown Mall. Tell me that dates again. Talk with you later. -----Original Message----- From: "Mims, Charnella" <mimsc@ops.org<@ENRON [mailto:IMCEANOTES-+22Mims+2C+20Charnella+22+20+3Cmimsc+40ops+2Eorg+3E+40ENR ON@ENRON.com] Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2001 8:51 AM To: Mims, Patrice L. Subject: RE:I'm still waiting How come I have not had a response from you? You better get on your job. I was beginning to wonder if you were on vacation or something. I saw "little" Corey last night for the first time. You can see some of his Indian heritage. His hair is hair is very straight and he is darker than teena. It was so weird calling him Corey. That is going to take some getting use to for me. Teena told me that you called her yesterday. I finally got the name of the hotel that the choir will be staying in when we arrive in houston on 6/27 & 6/28. It is not embassy suite. It is the Hilton Houston Southwest. Where is that in relations to you? -----Original Message----- From: Patrice.L.Mims@enron.com [mailto:Patrice.L.Mims@enron.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 4:29 PM To: mimsc@ops.org Subject: RE: Easter Yes, you are absolutely correct, I can never get ahold of you. I know you're very busy. Our plane get in at 12:00 on Friday, so we'll hail a cab over to Mom's house. Everything here is going okay. I hope Tina has had the baby by the time I get there this weekend. I sure don't want her to have to spend Easter in the hospital. As far as dinner is concerned, we'll have the regular, roast, ham, macaroni and cheese, greens yams, etc. Mom said something about getting a turkey, if so, we'll have to have dressing. Anyway, I think I am going to choir rehearsal tonight, so I'll try to call you on the way home. See ya!
