State Sen. Luke Kenley (R-Noblesville) announced to his Senate colleagues this morning that Sen. David Ford (R-Hartford City) is in a Fort Wayne hospital being treated for "a very serious illness." "Kenley’s voice cracked several times while talking about what a thoughtful leader Ford has been in the Senate," the Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette's Niki Kelly writes. “He speaks his piece,” Kenley said. “He is willing to voice his opinion during a stampede the other way.” Ford has been absent from the Senate for the past week. Best wishes to Sen. Ford for a speedy and full recovery.
UPDATE: Late afternoon reports indicate Sen. Ford has been diagnosed with cancer.

IndyStar has updated to report that Sen. Ford has cancer.
This is terribly sad. Sen. Ford is a nice man who truly works hard at representing his district. I don't always agree with his stance on certain issues, but I always admired the very long hours he put into being a legislator -- working hours, not dining with lobbyist hours. He is in my prayers tonight!
