I just heard from our friend Tubes - he says he won't be online for awhile - he's been admitted with an enlarged heart. Tomorrow he will be transferred to a specialist at another hospital in Wichita, which is about 1 1/2 hours drive from where he lives. Please direct your prayers for some healing and give him some love. Thank you.

Thanks Okarol.  Beth called him, but had to leave a message.  We'll keep trying.  In the meantime, lots of prayers for our friend.   Love you Tubes!!
