Thanks for the update. Glad Rick is doing a little better. That's good news. Let him know I'm praying for him and sending him healing vibes. We need him back.

Prayed the prayer of a compassionate heart, a cry to the most high to glorify himself in the midst of gemfellars tribulation. I pray he leans on the Lord's truth that what ever the fate is there is no sting in death to the one whom trusts in the Lord. pulling for you Gemfellar all in love. Johnny aGates

Rick is one of those SPECIAL people you are lucky to meet in this life. I don't know his exact age, but it is more than my 86.
May we be blessed with more of him!

Excellent news! The doctors are putting a PIC in today because Rick will need to be on antibiotics for another 6 weeks. They are expecting to discharge him to a rehab facility by the end of the week! This news is better than I expected to hear so fast. It just goes to show you that prayers do indeed work and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for yours! Rick's wife, Karen, also wanted to thank every single one of you praying for Rick. Please continue to pray for his complete recovery. He is out of the woods, but not done with this fight yet. Good thing he's a fighter (and stubborn). YOU ALL ROCK!

This will most likely be my last update on Rick. He is still in pain (his neck and back) from a fall he took when he first got sick, BUT he's feeling better every day and is stronger every day. He's doing all of the PT and OT to make sure that continues. The Rehab folks are working on the neck, back and strength 3 hrs. a day with 2 days of rest in a week. He is in an excellent rehab center and he is on the road to recovery! I thank you all again for the thoughts, prayers and good wishes.

I just got a message from Rick Martin's (gemfeller) wife that Rick is in the hospital with sepsis. Please pray with me for Rick's complete recovery. The Martin's have become very close friends with Vince and I since they moved here. Rick, I'm praying my heart out for you to get better quickly!

Ok, one more update (I fibbed): So I gave Rick all your well wishes via a text message to his wife. I had also sent him and Karen a picture of Vince in the recovery room giving a thumbs up. Not gonna post that one here, because I don't want to get served with divorce papers. Karen sent me back this picture of Rick and I wanted to share it with you all. (I did ask him if I could post it.) This is what all your prayers and words of encourage did:
