Ref. SUSAN DHALIN (Bill's Wife)
Susan was in a lot of pain of and much more yesterday. We took her down to the Mansfield Methodist Hospital at 10:30 p.m. last night. She had an heart catherization at 9:00 a.m. this morning. There were no heart blockages. I suspect she may have had neck spinal cord damage, an upper body fracture, joint damage or arthritis. ??? I and daughter Cynthia are here in the recovery room with her. She is recovering pain, bruises and joint damage from a fall at home about a month ago.
In Christ,
Brother Bill

REF. HARRY FETSICK- I received the following email from Dan Reeves Wed. Sept.6,2023. “Received call from Rosie Fetsick that Harry went back in VA hospital last week. His leg got infected again. They had to do surgery to get the infection out for the 4th time. He is in a different rehab facility in Pittsburgh. He is really down and aggravated with everything. He said, there's no way I can attend the reunion this year. They had t do surgery again to get the infection out. His phone at rehab hospital is 412 349-1044.”
I spoke with Harry’s wife Rosie yesterday also. She said Harry was very down and hoped he could come home around Sept.14th. He has to be on antibiotics for three weeks. I managed to speak to Harry and he was down due to having to have the knee taken care of again and back between staying in the hospital/rehab. He said he’d love to hear from the members. (The phone # is correct for his facility.) We had prayer together and feel that it would help him to know that he could use a lot of them at this time and Rosie as well. Cards can be sent To Harry at WOODHAVEN REHAB CENTER (No home addressees placed on this site due to this being a public web site)

DON BROOKS- I received the following email today from Gil Bernabe about Don Brook's daughter. "Talked with Donald Brooks on Friday, August 11. He informed me that his daughter, Bethany Shafer, is being treated for cancer. She had her right tonsil removed when it was found with cancer. The doctors removed her left tonsil and it was noncancerous. Bethany is still in the hospital and is recovering nicely. Bethany and David, her husband, accompanied Don and Sharon Brooks to our 2019 - 17th Artillery Association Reunion held at Lawton and Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Bethany was one of our scholarship winners. Currently, she works as a Nurse Practitioner. Keep Bethany and her family in your prayers." Remember cards, calls, emails, and prayers go a long way!

Ref.: Bill Dahlin- update received a few minutes ago. "The treating doctor came by and examined my lower right leg about 2:30. It’s shininess has reduced some with some lessening of the red cherry 🍒 color; but it is still hard and swelled. The hospital will continue to treat me with antibiotic drips for awhile. I explained the history of my large leg blisters/ulcers, swelling and previous lengths of treatment: 2-3 weeks.
The doctor said I should make an appointment with my dermatologist for next week, which I did: 10:15 next Tuesday, April 11th. The doctor did not say whether or not or when or maybe I’d be discharged from MCA.
Prayer requested,
Brother Bill

REF.- BILL DAHLIN- I spoke with Bill today, after receiving an email from him yesterday. He was admitted Friday to MCA hospital, believed to be in Arlington, TX. Bill and I spoke for a while and he was telling me about problems with his leg. I spoke with his wife Susan who came in while we were speaking.
She says that he has cellulitis and sepsis. Bill acknowledged that he has no idea when he’ll be released but said it might be a while. Please lift this great man and pillar of our organization up in your prayers. He needs them along with his wife. Remember cards, calls, emails, and prayers go a long way!

Ref.-HARRY FETSICK- Harry was scheduled to have his knee surgery yesterday after approximately one year. He was taken to the hospital yesterday and was going through the admissions procedures when he had to stand up to get on the scales for his weight. The brake on one side of his wheelchair malfunctioned thus pushing him into the bars that he was to hold on the scales. He hit his bad knee against the bars thus causing the wound to reopen. A surgeon was notified and stated he couldn’t have the surgery now until treated by a wound specialist. At this time no exact date is known for surgery. Please continue to keep Harry and his family in your prayers. Remember cards, calls, emails, and prayers go a long way.

Ref. HARRY FETSICK & FAMILY/ BILL DAHLIN: I spoke with Rosie and Harry Fetsick both today. Rosie is all healed up from her surgery and their son’s gall bladder surgery was successful. Harry is scheduled for surgery, after almost one year, for his knee again. He’s having a pre-op today for scheduled surgery March 21,2023 at Allegheny Hospital. (In PA. but don’t know town as of now.) Harry had Covid and then pneumonia after that so he’s hoping everything is okay from the pre-op and surgery can go as planned.
Also Bill Dahlin is having an MRI today for his ear. Please keep both of these families in your prayers. Remember cards, calls, emails, and prayers go a long way!

Ref. HARRY FETSICK & FAMILY-I spoke with Harry today. He feels his Covid is pretty much gone except for the coughing and his meds are all done. He’s still having PT at home. He seems a little down because it’s been almost a year since all of this initially happened. His wife Rosie and their son made it through their surgeries okay according to Harry. We had a short prayer. Please continue to keep Harry and his family in your prayers.
