Richard is doing very well. Since being placed on the more portable version of the VAD, Richard has been up moving around. The doctors are really pleased with Richard's recovery. He has been moved to room 356 on the third floor. Richard has also been placed on the top tier of the heart transplants list. His doctors are considering releasing Richard to the Seaton League House. This is a facility for patients who no longer need to be in the hospital but need to remain relatively close to the hospital.

Friends and family of Richard and Wendy are planning a Benefit to help defray some of the costs. This benefit is being held on November 9th from 11am to 9pm. For tickets call Mark Jarosek 512-784-4322, Reisha Stolte 512-461-3577 or Chris Salazar 512-470-7859.

Please keep Richard and his family in your prayers.
