- Update from Michelle regarding Joyce Jones: Mom's amputation surgery is scheduled for Wednesday morning. Considering when we came to the hospital last week Sunday and expected to go home the next day, yet still here a week later, she's still in good spirits. Thank God!!! Since I also stayed every day, she says that Now I live with her😊. After her surgery, there will be days of recovery and weeks of rehab before we go home. We are extremely appreciative of all your love, care and prayers💕. Please continue to pray for us physically, financially, mentally & spiritually. 🙏🏽
