Guest Cheryl Schaefer Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 Well, it's looking quite bad here. Dick has been in icu on a ventalator for almost three weeks with very little improvement. They are now giving him a 10% chance of surviving. This has been an awful period. His lungs just can't kick in and there are lots of complications from the ventalator. Prayers needed. Sorry to be posting such bad news.
