Rick ’s Story

Site created on July 29, 2018

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place.   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.  He was is good health before all of this and was not on any prescriptions.  He went in with congestive heart failure and kidney failure.  He was in ICU for 13 days while they tried to figure out his case.  This was a process of elimination with so many tests I can name them all.  It was determined he has MPGN (kidney disease).  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!  We are taking things one day at a time. 


 We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting and feel free to leave Rick a message.
