Family and Friends,
Our life has been a whirlwind since Rick entered UCSF Jan 13th. Please forgive the lack of correspondence from this end. He back in ICU...3 rd time in 3 weeks... on full oxygen nose and mask he struggles to maintain appropriate O2 levels. His lungs show signs of infection and fluid. They are not sure why this has happened, but it has. We are hoping that he responds to the multitude of new medications in the next 24 hours. They are attacking it from all angles. There is no “new news” to report....but the good news is he did not worsen last night. It wouldn't be inappropriate to say that Rick is struggling right now. We too, struggle as we watch him work hard to get through this ordeal. Sean arrived from the east coast Thursday night and Tori is coming in tonight. We look forward to having our family together. Please continue to keep us all in your thoughts. You messages have brought more comfort than you know and many tears of love as well. We make sure that all are shared with Rick and he has been moved by the outpouring of love. We also appreciate your calls and text messages, please understand that we do not always have the energy to respond. Know that we also keep you in our thoughts as it uplifts our energy and spirits to enable us to embrace each day. Without a doubt this has been the most challenging of our experiences this last few years. We love you all...please keep your arms around us.
Beck, Emily, Tori and Sean
