DANIEL RAMSEY: (2-11-10 - ( Nelson) We visited with Ramsey this afternoon at his home where he is recovering from a cellulitis infection in his leg. He was admitted to St Lukes Woodlands about two weeks ago where he was treated with large doses of antibiotics. After one week he was transferred to Triumph Hospital near I-45 and FM 1960 where he continued the antibiotic treatments until he was released last Saturday. He is now getting around building up his strength. He noted that his wife has and continues to provide continuous care for him and was by his side throughout this ordeal. His phone number is 281-222-4393 and he welcomes any calls. Please pray for Daniel's continued recovery
ORVILLE WILLIAMS: (2-11-10 - Nelson) We visited with Mildred Williams, wife of Orville this afternoon and she reports that Orville is in critical condition at the First Colony Health Center in Sugarland. She said it would take a hour to list all of the medical problems he has been treated for the last few years. Right now he is not able to speak, usually does not recognize anyone. Mildred said that she was totally exhausted from visiting and being by his side while at the Center. Please lift up your prayers for Orville and Mildred that some relief come to each of them and that healing would be forthcoming.
DENNIS RICHARDS: 2-13-10- (Wayne Wendel to Nelson) Dennis went home from St. Luke's on Friday. He is feeling better. He is trying to get into M.D. Anderson for treatment. He was given a large dose of Chemo which dropped his white cell count. His voice is better but still above a whisper. Wayne Wendel will visit him Monday and give us another update. Dennis needs our prayers, OFTEN:

DAROLYN LANGHORNE: 2-17-10 (e-mail as received from Darolyn Langhorne, surviving spouse of F.E. Langhorne)
I am having abdominal surgery on Thursday, February 18 at Memorial City Hospital. Back on August 6, I had surgery for an ovarian tumor which took the doctor six hours to remove. After 12 days in the hospital, I was able to recuperate at home. Two months later, I had symptoms of adhesions and had surgery on December 5. After five days, I was able to go home. I was doing fine until I started to have the same symptoms. After testing, I had more adhesions which has led to this current surgery. During my rehabilitation, my oldest son, Randy Souther, passed away September 12 from pneumonia. Twenty five years ago he had been in a head-on car collision leaving him a quadriplegic and unable to speak. He resided in a nursing facility.
I am looking forward to a full recovery and a better 2010. Keep Darolyn in your daily prayers.
Darolyn Langhorne, surviving spouse of F.E. Langhorne
