Update JohnnyRingo [View all]

This has been a week full of tears as my dear friend Bob aka (JohnnyRingo) here in D.U. Was put on a respirator from pneumonia while undergoing chemo. I’ve spent the week calling ICU and know all his nurses by name getting updates praying round the clock for any bit of good news.
Today they did some breathing tests and his lungs are working much better they might try weaning him over the next few days.
He is still critically ill but I’ll take any bit of good news I can.
Just happy for any progress.
Thank you D.U. Family. Please continue prayers and good vibes for the best guy ever.
