  1. Salery of Red Cross CEO was 652,000 plus expenses. They are standing by and watching this family struggle.
  2. Taylor Paige Woods was diagnosed with a very rare disease called Endogenous Lipoid Pneumonia. It is an immune disorder that is basically making her body attack itself. There have only been a handful of people diagnosed with it, all who have been significantly older than Taylor. She is 16 years old and a senior at West Johnston High School. Many of our upperclassmen here at Cleveland know Taylor from freshman year and Cleveland Middle School. Taylor is also the niece of a very proud aunt, Cleveland HS teacher, Joy LaFrance-Phipps. She donated blood in February through the school’s blood drive and was so excited to be able to help people in need! The following month, she developed a dangerous bacterial infection which ended up in her bloodstream. This caused her body to basically “short-circuit.” She had 2 surgeries on her arm which had a HUGE hole in the exact location the needle went in where she donated blood. She almost lost her arm. Even after her second surgery she was still encouraging people to donate blood to save lives. Articles have been printed in local papers detailing Taylor’s plight and encouraging people to be vigilant about their safety. She has told everyone, “We need blood donors. It saves lives. It was NOT donating blood that made me sick…a mistake made me sick.” Since March, she has been out of the hospital for a total of MAYBE 6 weeks. She missed half of her junior year. This has been an area of huge stress for Taylor. She is fighting for her life right now at UNC Children’s Hospital in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Her doctors there have consulted physicians around the world and have been unable to successfully treat this horrible disease. She is on her fourth treatment and we are praying that this one works! The doctors have said she has the lungs of an 80 year old. She is on oxygen, has had a chest tube, has fluid around the lungs and heart, has had 3 blood clots, and has undergone a plethora of tests, surgeries, procedures, etc. She begins to “de-sat” (oxygen levels plummet) from simply going to the restroom or changing her clothing. She has been a fighter through all of this. All this from giving blood. Not trying to discourage anyone from that but Red Cross has left this family High and dry and fighting. I owe this brave young lady a ride.

  20. Bad fuel cap? Not venting and shutting off fuel flow? When it stops open fuel cap and see if you can hear it sucking air in. And check to see if this helps to restart. You may not hear the air, depends on how much it is shutting down but if you open cap and it restarts check and see if fuel pump takes off when you open cap. Hey Duck be carefull if you pull that tank. Had a 83 that rusted completely thru the bottom. I would just replace filter and watch it see how much is coming thru. Or add filter and drain tank completely in container to see how much rust is there.
