Depending on the outcome of that conference Bill may be undergoing surgery shortly thereafter. I would like to request that Bill and Mary be kept in the thoughts and prayers of our membership at large. Love, Dona Vera Worsham I had a call last from Faye (Ray's sister) with an update and address at the VA. I called the VA to be sure how to show all of this on the envelope. The VA will be doing another swallow test soon as well as other test to review for his treatment. Faye said he is only scheduled for 90 days there. He actually moved his right leg some and his speech is getting better. He is in a semi-private room but does have the bed next to the window. They will eventually have a phone for him. The VA phone number is 919-286-0411. Please continue the prayers for Ray. He has made so much progress. Star Love, Vera Charles Ray Boswell ECRC-2 c/o VA Medical Center 508 Fulton Street Durham, NC 27705-3875 stroke and has been moved to the VA Medical Center in NC. This is closer for the family members helping with his care. His speech is improving and he has moved his right leg some during therapy. The feeding tube has been removed and he is on soft foods. Many of you have been asking for an address. This should be good for about 3 months. Charles Ray Boswell ECRC-2 c/o VA Medical Center 508 Fulton Street Durham, NC 27705-3875 Please continue to remember Bro. Ray and his family in your prayers. Vera Worsham, DGL #13 Nina Mack ( Robert E. Spillman # 550) just called to advise Dick's surgery was successful and he should be returning home by tomorrow. Dick fell back in August and broke his leg the weekend before he was scheduled for lung surgery. In all the pretest surgery, they learned he needed a pace maker. He stayed in the hospital for weeks to recover from all this and until he was able to use crutches. At the time, doctors thought his leg would heal, but now had to do surgery. Since many of you know Nina, I felt it was time to let you know what they have been dealing with since August. Please remember them both. Vera Worsham Bill and Linda Lundy, members of Adoniram Chapter are in need of your prayers. Bill is into his second month in Baptist Hospital in LR, he has had several heart surgeries and is not recovering. He was in a coma for sometime and is now sitting up, but does not seem to know anyone or anything. Please keep each of them in your thoughts and prayers.
