is extremely grateful, the
medical bills continue to
mount.
Aside from straightfor
ward medical costs, after
her eventual transplant,
she will need to live close
to the hospital for three
months. That means having
to pay for both her Heppner
apartment and a place in
Portland. She will also have
to hire a caregiver during
that time, as well as pay for
anti-rejection drugs for the
rest of her life, she says.
For those who missed
their chance to contribute
at the Grange, a medical
account also has been set up
at Bank of Eastern Oregon
under Sheila Piper Medical
Fund.
The Lexington Grange held its first craft sale over the week
end. The hall was filled with vendors, and saw a good turnout
despite the conflict with the Mustangs' semifinal playoff game
