02/01/12 — Update from Debbie: I called the hospital at 3 a.m. and at 7 a.m. They told me Ron was stable all night, so that’s good. I slept really good last night first time in a few nights. I’ll keep all posted as new news come in. And again thank you all for your love and support.

01/31/12 — Ron had a triple bypass instead of quadruple, and the surgery went well. They were able to fix the arithmia. He will be in ICU until Friday — Debbie is with him in recovery at this time. Please continue saying prayers for our good friends and their family.

01/27/12 — One of our very valued members, Search Coordinator Ron Overman, has just learned that he is having emergency quadruple bypass surgery, but due to some issues that need to heal from a procedure he had today, it will not be performed until Tuesday, January 31, 2012, beginning at 6:30 a.m.  We need all of our members and supporters to keep Ron, Debbie and all of their family members and friends in your prayers during this very difficult time.  We will update as we get information.  He will remain at the VA Hospital in Houston, TX.

Searchers have been patrolling the shoreline and dragging the river. Friends and family of the missing have brought their own boats, including their son Thomas and daughter Elizabeth, offering crews extra sets of eyes and ice chests packed with sandwiches and beverages. Divers cannot be called out to the scene, DWF has noted, because the flow at the spillway is too turbulent, and concrete and log debris below the surface make such an operation even more treacherous.

Please keep Mr. and Mrs. Holloway in your prayers, along with their family and friends.
