Please see the above in 2004 Election Results and Discussion for updates.

Background: Sherole Eaton a 65 year old lady who was Deputy Director of Hocking County Elections, stood up during the Ohio Recount because of suspicious activities of Triad - the voting tabulation company for Hocking County, Ohio. She filed an affidavit which lead to an incomplete investigation regarding Triad asking Sherole and others to cheat on the recount so all the ballots would not be scrutinized, also Sherole witnessed Triad dismantling the computer which contained the November 2nd results.

Sherole was forced off work by the BOE after filing the affidavit on "comp time". During her time off work, she had carotid artery surgery and the doctors discovered a brain aneurysm. She came back to work after the carotid artery surgery and was fired by the Board for blowing the whistle. While the board has not given reason for her firing, it had to have been for blowing the whistle.

She was fired 2 weeks before an unsuccessful aneurysm surgery. It has been very difficult for her to pay bills, buy groceries, much less have the money to continue her insurance coverage. She is scheduled to have another attempt to place a coil in the anuerysm Wednesday.

Tonight, her eldest daughter was taken to the hospital with a possible ruptured aneurysm. Details as of this time are sketchy, but it is my understanding they are going to attempt to operate on her daughter, Kim, age 45, this evening.

Please keep Sherole and her daughter in your thoughts and prayers.

54. Update from Sherole's Neice

From Sherole's neice:

"I want to let everyone know that Kim, Sherole's daughter is in the neuro-critical care unit at Riverside Hospital. There is a 'bleed' in her brain, but at this time they don't know where it is located. If the bleed doesn't worsen during the night, they're going to wait until morning to do an an angiogram (sp?) to locate the bleed and probably then perform the 'coiling' surgery, the same surgery Sherole is having done on Wednesday. Kim has a headache and they're controling it with medication. Kim's spirits are good, although she's, of course anxious about the proceedure.

After the initial shock and fear, Sherole is doing ok. She packed a bag and will probably stay in Cols. until her surgery on Wed. I think this is good, because the neurologist told Kim she could have had this aneurysm for some time and recent stress could have caused the bleed. We all know what stress Sherole has been under, so both she and Kim are safer where they are.

I called many of Sherole's friends last night so please if anyone knows her friends, call them and give them this information. I will probably go back to sleep in the morning after the boys go to school.

The neuro-nurse told Sherole she will get a call in the morning between 6 & 7 no matter what happens tonight, this is their policy, just to update them. Of course, should anything happen during the night they will call her."

Received in my email this morning and edited to remove personal information.

Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

59. I haven't received an update tonight, sorry n/t

[NoBushSpokenHere]

60. kick so i can find this when i have news n/t

[NoBushSpokenHere]

61. Update Wednesday August 31st

Details sketchy, but Kim had to be rushed into surgery during the angiogram yesterday. Unknown if they took care of the aneurysm or not, but it appears the surgery was because "they tore some flesh in an artery and had to repair it"

Sherole's surgery is today - please keep both in your thoughts and prayers.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

62. Update Wednesday 8/31/05 3:00 EST - Good News

Just received an unofficial report that Sherole's aneurysm surgery went well and she is in recovery. They placed 3 coils in the aneurysm.

Her daughter, Kim's aneurysm was located in the carotid artery during the angiogram. It is unknown by my source if they were able to place the coil during the angiogram. They accidentally poked through an artery during the procedure and had to have surgery to repair the tear. The artery tear was not discovered until after the angiogram when they could not obtain a pulse in her leg.

Please continue sending your special thoughts and prayers throughout their recovery periods.

[NoBushSpokenHere]
