Another hospital trip for Ron Sanders

Susan Staron Sanders, Class of 1971, reports that husband Ron Sanders had another medical episode that required a journey to the hospital.

I’ll let Monongah’s future Town Councilwoman tell it:

Ron & Susan Sanders

“Good morning family and friends. I wanted to give you an update. I had to call the rescue squad yesterday for Ron.

“As a lot of you know he lost his voice two weeks ago. Well, it never got better after antibiotics. Then his neck started swelling and closed so they took him to Ruby (Memorial Hospital in Morgantown) and they were wonderful.

“They kept him overnight to watch his breathing. They did find a growth on his R vocal cord, so they will bring him back next week and give him a biopsy. They said it could be cancer and probably is.

“He will get to come home this morning till they call next week.

“So once again Tom & I are asking for your wonderful prayers again. The good thing is we don't have to go to Pittsburgh. Ruby handles the VA surgeries. Thank God.

“I promise I will you keep you updated and Tom will too one day at a time. We love you all.”

 

Susan and Ron’s son, Tommy Sanders, is a WVU computer engineering graduate.

Ron is a Vietnam veteran.

Susan was elected the Town Council this year. She also is chairman of Monongah’s Christmas Lights Committee, which had raised money that put 26 street lights in the town for every holiday season.
