Emma Butler Traynor - Emergency Surgery at 97

After being sick for most of this week, we took Emma (begrudgingly) to the Doctor's where it was determined the abdominal hernia that she has had for several years was strangulating. The Doctors never wanted to operate on it because of her age. However, being a true Butler she proved to them age doesn't matter. On Friday evening around 9:30 p.m. she underwent surgery and pulled through with little or no problems. She is doing fine and is expected to come home from the hospital Sunday. In fact the surgeon thought he could have done it as an out patient and sent her home the same day. We were all kind of glad that didn't happen. It has been a long weekend and she is exhausted but I thought the family might want to know.

International Butler Reunion......eh!!!!

The Butler Reunion has gone international with relatives from Canada coming down. We will take a few eh's and white socks with sandals as long as the Canadian items show up on the bargain table. My son-in-law loves his new chair but you know those hockey players it doesn't take much to please them!!! We will work on having an exchange bank next year for you Sue as well. Because you are family I know you will be willing to exchange that funny money at par......right? That's what your brother said!!!! Thanks for coming.

Butler Reunion 2008

Great time had by all!!!! So glad to see some new faces and missed those who couldn't make it. I think the final count was around 55 not counting my oldest son who came with his wife and 2 children shortly after everyone left. Emma was really glad to see everyone and it made her day. Please post your comments and pictures. Tonight after all had left we realized we never got the blow-ups for the kids out of the garage so you all will have to come back next year, you hear!!!!
