Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.&nbsp; &nbsp;I have found it overwhelming trying to keep everyone updated and this site is a true blessing!!!! Rick has been in the hospital 3 times since June 14, 2018.&nbsp; He was is good health before all of this and was not on any prescriptions.&nbsp; He went in with congestive heart failure and kidney failure.&nbsp; He was in ICU for 13 days while they tried to figure out his case.&nbsp; This was a process of elimination with so many tests I can name them all.&nbsp; It was determined he has MPGN (kidney disease).&nbsp; He was released on June 28, went back in on July 2-5, and last time on July 24, 2018. It's all up hill from here!&nbsp; We are taking things one day at a time.&nbsp; &nbsp;We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting and feel free to leave Rick a message.&nbsp;&nbsp;
