Update on Henry Shaw

Henry Shaw calls tonight from Riverside Hospital and gave an account of his recent right hip replacement dislocating last night and then having to have it surgically revised this morning.

He expects to be there another day or two. Otherwise, except for the severe initial pain before he got to the hospital, he’s now more-or-less comfortable and in quite fine spirits.
May God shepherd him through this unexpected development and let him come out the other side fully and uncomplicatedly repaired and healed. AMEN
