Received from Martha Bolyard this morning:

LET'S PRAISE THE LORD!  Roxie has shared that Dick was removed from the ventilator!!!!!  He, of course, still has a feeding tube, but the therapists will be evaluating his ability to start eating food.

She has also shared that the initial diagnosis of pneumonia was changed to  bronchitis and that he is being treated for a urinary tract infection.  Ben and his wife, Kelly, have returned to Morgantown to resume their work schedules, I believe.  THANK YOU for "bombarding the heavens".  Let's not relent on Dick's behalf.    There are still many unknowns about his condition.  Many of us have spent countless hours in waiting rooms as well and remember the things that brought us comfort.  Thank you, again, prayer warriors. 

Blessings to all,

Roy and Martha
