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. Ive 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 Ill 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.

He's in a really tough spot right now but to date, he's been a lucky guy to have someone like you getting his back.

(63,221 posts)I have had both of you in my thoughts and prayers. Even though I am not much of a prayer, I did pray for the two of you in the hope that the intention would go out into the universe and be heard. I wish you both all the best and I hope the good news continues to follow.
