. . . . . . .Fancy Get Up

As I promised, here are some pictures from the formal gala I attended the other night with my dear friends. One of our co-workers, Jean, is missing from the picture. She left before we could snap the shot!

What a wonderful evening it was, celebrating the hospital we love and the friendships we cherish!

The first two photos are of all of us the last time we were all together, October 2005!! Now, nearly 5 years later, we were together again in our fancy get ups! :)

Kelly, Jodi, Carol, Jean and Noellee Jodi, Carol, Joey, Jean and Noellee from the McKay-Dee Hospital Foundation, 2005.

The gang together again, April 30, 2010, in honor of the 100-year anniversary of McKay-Dee Hospital.

Me at home, before Kelly came to pick me up! It's fun to get fancy once in a while!!

Jodi's Story

Jodi Orgill Brown and Tolan Brown married in 1996 and together have 4 beautiful children, Trenden, Lindi, Casen and Daven, who make every day worth living.

Jodi was diagnosed with a brain tumor in April of 2009 after months of suffering from debilitating symptoms. Though 9 doctors declared her tumor was inoperable because of it's location on the brainstem, hope was not lost. One team of specialists at the University of Utah Hospital agreed to operate and remove the tumor. The first surgery was successful in removing as much of the tumor as was possible. However, complications from the surgery caused a debilitating and life-threatening spinal fluid leak, which resulted in 2 more brain surgeries and a 5-week hospitalization and fight for life.

Jodi is now "in recovery" from a dificult round 1, and has many complications and side effects, including partial facial paralysis, loss of hearing in her right ear, complications with her eye, depth perception, sight and headaches, but still has lots of love, help, hope, miracles and angels around her everyday!
