Update on JohnnyRingo

Last edited Wed May 27, 2020, 05:34 PM - Edit history (1)

He was moved out of ICU and to a regular floor.
At least we can talk to him. He is on dialysis but making signs of improvement.
Hoping to get him well enough to finish his chemo and radiation.
I gave him all your good vibes again today.
I miss by bestie!

but he’s far better than he was 11 days ago.
People like him are the very reason to wear a mask.

from a glioblastoma brain tumor. I am so thankful he went before the world became what we see today. I am thankful that JohnnyRino has you for a friend and that his strength is returning.

If it were me he’d do the same. I felt helpless as I could go sit with him. So I cooked his meals for the week.

A difficult time for you, made all the harder with social distancing. Just know there are people out there wanting to hug you. Until you get that hug, here's a virtual hug from me.

I’m praying hard for him too. He’s never been the religious sort. But he had great respect for my faith. What a great person.

You fight to get well, and we'll fight to get that obese orange turd out of the White House. We're all winners in those two fights.

It's been such a long hard journey for you both. I hope soon you'll get to be closer to him, and he can resume treatment.

He's tough!
