3/30 SCOTT SISTERS UPDATE!
Greetings, all,
Mrs. Rasco and family safely returned from Mississippi on Saturday and Jamie has been returned to the hospital. She's been told that Jamie is scheduled for surgery this week to remove the painful and dangerous shunt in her groin and implant a permanent fistula into her arm to receive dialysis. Infection remains a concern, as well, and that is supposedly being dealt with. Jamie is still very weak and needs a great deal of assistance.
~~~~~~~~
The leader of the 3/26 press conference activity in MS was a no-show and the entire event was disorganized. This debacle was partially rescued only because of the people of Mississippi who were there. Mrs. Rasco and 11 family members came in to support this event. Approximately 50 people were in attendance and several supporters spoke, including Mrs. Evelyn Rasco, Jonette Primm, Chokwe Lumumba, Earnest McBride, Jaribu Hill, Mr. Powell, Bro. Clarence from Gloria's Kitchen and Gladys Scott's daughter, Olivia. Thanks to those who stepped in and handled things at the last minute and under great duress, the family is deeply appreciative. Part of the rally was aired on Mississippi Fox News and pictures will be posted here as soon as they become available. Mrs. Rasco wants to especially thank Gloria's Kitchen for feeding all of the children as well as Rip Daniels and Charles Evers for their continuous support.

RE: The Scott Sisters
Dear Governor Barbour:
I would like to bring your attention to the case of Jamie and Gladys Scott. These sisters have served more than 15 years of a double life term where no one was murdered or injured. State’s witnesses have testified to their innocence. Jamie Scott’s kidneys have failed and her health is fading fast. We need your help now. Mississippi needs to know that those of us who believe in justice and human rights are prepared to take a stand for the Scott Sisters.
FREE THE SCOTT SISTERS NOW!!!!!
Signed,

Make sure Jamie knows they are supposed to check frequently for a bruit and thrill. Often after the surgery to put in a fistula a blood clot can obstruct the flow of blood inside the fistula. It is easily fixed if caught early. A bruit is a whooshing sound heard by placing a stethescope over the fistual and a thrill is a vibration caused by the flow of blood simply felt over the site. She can check the thrill herself, but should be careful not to contaminate the surgical site. If she finds there is no thrill she should start sounding like BB King, "The thrill is gone". They can take her to surgery and get the clot out. This happens during healing because the natural response from the surgery is to form a blood clot. I hope this helps to protect her.
