Vernez Blattner - Prayers for her Health Journey

Vernez Blattner

October 30, 2025 


We talked a bit with Vernez about the health journey she has ahead. She has one kidney and has been diagnosed with stage 4 kidney failure. There is some testing and results coming yet and details will be more clear as to her options. So far Vernez and Tom have identified 3 people who are willing to donate a kidney if it comes to that. In the meantime, she remains active and positive (as always!). 

Let's give the Blattner's our club's great support and love. And, we keep them in our thoughts and prayers for the journey ahead.

Scott Mitchell - Health and Prayers

Scott Mitchell

We connected with Scottie today since he's been noticeably absent from his team. He said he's currently following up with his physicians after having a stent put in to help his heart with blood flow. Last year he was out all year with a hip replacement and by pass surgery. He returned this year only to have the second summer session cut short by weakness and breathing difficulties. He went to the hospital for assessment and underwent the angioplasty. 

Let's support Scottie with our prayers and keep him in our thoughts. We hope he continues to heal and get stronger everyday!
