Rose Moss-Stroud:  

randmother to a little boy named Braxton Michael Stults -- he was born Feb. 12, 2010 at 2:30 p.m. in Palm Springs, California. He was 6 weeks early so he weighed in at 4 lbs and 17" long. I am great grandmother - my daughter Pamela is grandmother - my granddaughter Alexandria is the mother and the father is Colton Michael Stults. Update December 5, 2013 Jerry and I are still volunteering at Wesley Hospital here in Wichita, Ks. Went thru a rough year in 2012, the doctors found stage 4 cancer in Jerry while doing a routine check up. He had surgery on Jan 5th for colon cancer, he had a rough time after the surgery. In March of 2012 they started his 12 rounds of Chemo which ended in September of 2012. He had his ups and downs with the chemo treatments and went from 210 lbs. down to 170, but he did not lose much of his hair. He was very weak and tired most of the time also. Then in Nov. of 2012 he ended up back in surgery because his stomach and intestines twisted up and became paralyzed so he went 45 days in a specialty hospital with a feeding tube and IV fluids. He went down to 150 lbs. Everything started working again and he got out of the hospital 5 days before Christmas. He is now cancer free and gaining strength and back to volunteering, his weight is back up to 170 which is just fine with us. We did a little traveling, down to New Orleans, Yellowstone, Virginia City Nv. Conway Ark. We hope to travel some more next year. We will be very busy for the next three years as I became the President Elect for the Hospital Auxiliary of Kansas (HAK) and the treasurer of Wesley Hospital Auxiliary. In 2015 I will become the President of the HAK and still be the treasurer of Wesley Auxiliary as it is a 2 year job. I have plenty of jobs to keep Jerry busy along side of me. Update as of June 2016: I finished my year as president of the State of Kansas hospital volunteers and I will still be on their executive board for a few more years as membership secretary. I started this year as President of Wesley Medical Center Auxiliary and also on the Board of Trustees. I am still assistant treasurer for Wesley Friends social group and secretary/treasurer for our bowling league. By the way this is all volunteer work along with Jerry and I volunteering on our two days at the hospital. Jerry had a rough start this year. In January he fell in the parking lot of the grocery store a broke his hip. Surgery for hip replacement went well but after getting transferred to rehab hospital developed blood clots in lungs and legs so back to Wesley to get the clot busting meds. Three months of rehab he is up and walking with cane, only needs walker when we take long trips with our Wesley friends group. This is my update for now. Jerry and I keeping young by keeping busy. Update December 28 , 2017. I became a great grandma for the second time, Olive Rose Kane was born on December 8th. I finished my two year term as President of Wesley Auxiliary but will continue being on the board. Two years to go as treasurer of Wesley Friends and two years as HAK membership secretary. Update 6-23-2020 COVID 19 put a stop to volunteering, we can’t wait to get back to it. Jerry’s health hasn’t been good, he had total kidney failure and heart failure. He’s now on dialysis 3 days a week and tolerating it very well. We are looking for him to get stronger so we can travel again.
