Just dropping by to let everyone know that JoAnn is in the hospital. If you all would like to send a message to her or get well card she is at.

St. Alphonsus Regional Med. Cntr
1055 N Curtis Rd
Boise Id 83706

Direct phone line into room. is 1-208-367-5489

She is in with an exacerbation and her cor pulmonale is also a factor. She sounded pretty good, however JoAnn is not one to alarm anyone. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

sure she would love to hear from you
Thanks
Arlene
