Be not weary in well doing.

Pardon the delay - I would have sent all of you this info earlier had I known the thread was going and if I had not been so consumed with dear friend Ken himself.
Last night Ken called me here at home (about 1/2 hour away) to say that he had collapsed and could not rise. Of course, I rushed off through the forest to get to him as quickly as possible and found him with bleeding head wounds from the fall, exhausted from attempting to rise and discouraged with his inability to get it done himself.
The EMT folks arrived and did their thorough routine, which confirmed that Ken was weak and not maintaining sufficient blood oxygen saturation. Although his speech was sparse, Ken was eloquent and, as always, wanting to maintain his independence. Feeling grateful to have been there to hold him in my arms and then convince him to take the hour ride to the hospital to be "checked out", I felt that the situation was life threatening. Subsequent conversations with doctors and nurses have confirmed that fear.
Today has been a day of testing, speculation and then convincing Ken to move forward with transport to a major hospital for surgery that may well preserve the life of our friend. I pray so. At the moment I am awaiting more information with the hope - and expectation - that Ken will be headed for further help in the next short while.

Thank you for the report and going so rapidly to his aid. Prayers continue and will no matter the outcome.

Last night, Dr. Howell took a bad fall. Fortunately, he was on the phone with a friend at the time, and the friend was able to call 911 for him. He went by ambulance to the hospital in Springerville, Arizona.
My most recent information is that he has a bowel obstruction, a mass in his colon, and fluid in his lungs. He has a tube down his esophagus to relieve intestinal pressure, and he was resting comfortably. I don't have any reliable prognosis to relay right now.
He has no computer access, and he can't talk on the phone because of the gastric tube; neither my sister nor I have been able to talk to him directly. I'm sure he would appreciate your prayers and well wishes, but there are no specific needs at the moment. I will post updates as appropriate. He's a good guy. Prayers sent.

Just caught up with all of this, after receiving word from Darby this a.m.. Paul thank you so much for being there for our friend.
I visited Ken on Saturday and we had a wonderful visit. We chatted and joked. I left early sunday morning, after a brief chat with Ken. He is truly one of my favorite people. I treasure being able to call him my friend. He, as always is in my families prayers.
