Afternoon update

I just got off the phone with Patti and she said Ricks is making great improvements. His blood transfusion went well, He has stabilized and is looking great! He has even managed to get in a few funny comments and showing his great sense of humor, now that's a good sign! He is still in CCU and is continuing to be monitored. He is still in pain and He will be meeting with his Doctor this evening. The next important thing He has to do is get up out of bed and walk, they want him to try and do this tonight sometime.
So we continue to ask for your prayers that God will give him the strength he needs to do this and that His mighty power of healing will be upon Rick and he will continue to show great signs of improvement. That Patti and her family will feel peace and comfort and rest. That Patti will feel fresh and renewed, for she is very tired it has been an emotional day.

We will continue to keep you all posted on Rick's progress. I know Rick and Patti appreciate each and everyone of you and want to thank you for your caring and loving hearts and all your prayers.
