Journal entry by Michele Di Loreto

Dear Friends and Family,

It's been a heart wrenching 3 weeks so far as Rich has been battling Covid and Pneumonia.  There have been many ups and downs with several complications.  I got to see him yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks but he was sedated and intubated with a vent.  Although it was a tough decision to be on a vent, it was the only quick solution for his high oxygen needs.  His condition has been up and down for the past few weeks with signs of improvement and setbacks.  

We had hoped they would be removing the breathing tube today, however, because of Afib they are doing more tests to determine what may be causing this issue.  I will keep everyone informed as much as possible.  Please forgive me if I can't get back to everyone.  I so appreciate all your prayers and thoughts.

Right now I am asking all of you to pray for him.  He's had angels helping him before, now I'm hoping they'll be back for him once more to heal him.  

Love to all

Michele
