Rich’s Story

Site created on August 22, 2020

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.


Our dad, Rich is fighting Covid and needs lots of prayers. After a family vacation up north in mid July we all got Covid. My mom and dad got it the worst. My mom has recovered but  my dad has been in the ICU at St. Luke’s since August 3rd. He is currently on a lot of oxygen and not making much improvement. He has gotten all the current treatment for Covid and now we have to wait for his lungs to heal. This has been a nightmare to deal with and an emotional roller coaster. We are beyond thankful to the nurses, doctors and staff in the MRICU. They have been so wonderful. We will use this site to update everyone on my dad’s progress. We can’t wait to post that he is coming  home.
