Update from Willona (7/15/19):
I sent a text to Maurine today and discovered that she went home from the hospital on Friday. She said home never looked so good. Her text sounded upbeat. :>)
Here is her address:

Update from Willona (7/10/19):
“Maurine moved out of ICU late yesterday afternoon. She is now in Room 210, Cox South Hospital, in Springfield, MO. It is good news that she is now in a regular room.”
Our former assistant director, Maurine Myers, is in the hospital in southern Missouri. She had a significant malignant mass removed from her pelvic region. She will be undergoing chemotherapy when she is strong enough. Current expectations are for her to remain in the ICU until Tuesday or Wednesday while they stabilize her blood pressure, which is currently too high. She is weak following the surgery, but she is making slow progress towards recovery.
Her husband, Hugh, has asked us to send healing wishes via text to Maurine’s cell phone (515-681-5511). Be sure to include your name in the text in case you’re not in her contacts.
