Event Details

We received an encouraging update from Christy Stocks about her dad, Ray Deaton’s, condition.

Ray Deaton - photo by Ted Lehmann“He was released from the hospital today and is feeling much better.  They were able to drain all the fluid off his lungs and heart.  I was informed today by his doctor that he does have more damage to his heart however they are still running tests.  He is being watched closely by physicians over the next few weeks and they are working on adding new medications to what he is currently taking.  Please continue to keep him in your prayers.

I have received a few calls asking of ways to contact him.  You may send e-mails to [email protected] requesting an address or you can send any well wishes his way and I will make sure he receives them.”
