Dear AST Sisters,

> Please keep Tracy Bond in your thoughts. I spoke with Tracy today and

> work and couldn't breathe. She had been experiencing pain in her legs
> and thought that it might be serious but was told that it wasn't. She
> wasn't feeling well, but kept up with her normal routine. She has
> several blood clots in her legs and one had reached her lungs when she
> experienced distress yesterday. She feels fortunate that she tried to

>
> Tracy is in great spirits today, however she has had an incredibly scary
> 24 hours and needs our positive thoughts and prayers and phone calls.
> She may be in the hospital for several days, and is bored and asking

> instead!! She is up for phone calls (I asked her to be sure we wouldn't
> overwhelm her).
>
> Patti, Tracy said that your sharing Simon's experience made her think to
> take aspirin and had been taking one a day since her legs started
> feeling funny. Her doctors feel that the aspirin was a bring
> contributing factor to her being ok today.

> Here is where you may reach her:
> St. Luke's

Teena and everyone else,

I got another email today. You can read it below...

Dear Sisters,
>
> I spoke with Tracy Bond this afternoon. She has been back at the
> hospital since Thursday after being released on Tuesday afternoon. Her
> body was not doing what the doctor expected on its on and she needed
> additional procedures. She had been heavily sedated for several days,
> but I spoke with her today and she was in good spirits. She mentioned
> the many kind wishes for recovery she has received from sisters. I know
> everyone is keeping her spirits up during this difficult time. Tracy is
> on blood thinners and is not allowed to move from bed. The hospital
> will allow her to go home once her level (blood?) is up to 44 (she is
> only at 37) -- sorry, everyone I'm not well versed in medical
> terminology. Her leg is swollen from the blood clots, but they seem to
> have dissolved most of them. She may be in the hospital for several
> more days.
>
> Tracy is now in room 706. Her phone number is 610.954.1706
>
> She has been unable to sleep and would welcome phone calls. Tracy has
> all men taking care of her (brothers, dad, and fiancé), so she thought
> having them bring her doll stuff to her would be too big of a task! :-)
>
> Please keep Tracy in your thoughts and prayers. Please forward this
> information to all sisters who will want to be updated on Tracy's
> progress.

> In Sisterhood,
> Jenni Kemmery (she also forwarded the first email to my chapter advisor, Amy)
