Received this e-mail from Naydean Towner this morning:

" I took Bill to the emergency room about 11:00 Tuesday night.
They are doing test and trying to get a surgery team set up to do
open heart surgery possibly this afternoon (10-8-09) or tomorrow.
We may have to change hospitals in order to get it done
but it is wait and see right now.
Pray and I will keep you posted."

Jim went and had the staples removed today and received a good report
from the doctor. The doctor told him he could put more weight
on his left side and walk around more. The doctor did limit
his travel for 4 more weeks, so we will see.
I will have to say removing the staples helped how he feels
cause he whistled all the way home.

We would like to thank everyone for the cards and prayers.
Jim has really enjoyed the cards.
Thank you again and we hope to see all of you soon.

Love
Jim and Gwen
