Greetings to One and All,
I had a wonderful telephone conversation with Bill Rall last evening, and I am very happy to say that Bill
is doing much better. He sounded great! He has been at home for some
period of time and his recovery has been going well. He has recovered
from the unexpected aneurysm surgery and his breathing better, but some COPD
issues still remain. He will be meeting with his surgeon and another
doctor after the holidays to see whether it will be possible to do the
heart valve replacement, which was the original reason he had gone into
the hospital in the fall. It is necessary to learn whether the COPD issue will be a hindrance.
Bill
and his family are ready for Christmas. He has received hundreds of
emails and cards from family and friends and many of you, and he is most
grateful. Bill is having some difficulty with his eyesight, and this
has made reading emails difficult. I know Carol has been kept busy
reading all of them. Mike Heydinger has stopped in at least a couple times this fall, as did Tom and Kathy Dechant
once. I also understand that Jack Park got in touch with Bill
recently. While Bill is doing much better, he still would appreciate
your prayers. The power of prayer is tremendous.
