 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, January 19, 2004 VOL. III Issue 1M JOYCE FERRIS HOSPITALIZED FROM PAPER CUT Word from Washington is that Joyce Ferris was admitted into the hospital after a paper cut resulted in a profuse amount of bleeding. Joyce's daughter, Sandy Soulek,reports that her mother had a busy night getting blood products The good news is her clotting factors are back to normal so she is no longer in danger of a major bleeding incident at this time. Right now she looks better but tired. CAM COWAN DOING BETTER One thing we've been neglecting here at the Holabird Advocate is news south of Holabird. There has been a bit of good news. Cam Cowan has been improving slightly. Her white blood cell count is better. Cam has been suffering from a flare-up of Hodgkins disease, a particularly nasty form of cancer. She has been battleing this for some time. Doctors have done all they can do medically. She has been recieving transfusions to keep her white blood cell count at a healthy level. All that can be done has been done. The rest is up to God. RITES HELD FOR FORMER HOLABIRD RANCHER Donald G.
