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

Rick & Beck,
Thank you for the update. I am glad the clan is gathering. I am glad Rick is fighting. I am glad the doctors are doing all they can. Somehow I feel good news is on its way; I sure hope so and all of you deserve it. We are passing on all of our love and hopes for you. Hang in there.

You have provided many ways to keep in touch...and so during these days we use them ALL. Please know that prayers continue daily!!! For Rick and for all of you for strength and energy to handle each hour. And know that this message brings lots of sunshine and smiles...the warmth that helps keep us going! God Bless Sharon
Love showers on all of you from the entire Team Rick.... and probably from people and angels you don't even know.
with all my love,
Jill
Rick & Family: They;re going to have to put another book in the Bible: Job II. You have truly weathered storm after storm, but I hope that gives you the strength and confidence to fight through this one, too. Know that all our love and support is with you. Tony (Magee) Lavely
Godspeed, Rick!
Paul McCartney - The End Of The End
At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And this wasn't bad
So a much better place
would have to be special
No need to be sad
On the day that I die I'd like jokes to be told
And stories of old to be rolled out like carpets
That children have played on
And laid on while listening to stories of old
At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No reason to cry
(whistling)
On the day that I die I'd like bells to be rung
And songs that were sung to be hung out like blankets
That lovers have played on
And laid on while listening to songs that were sung
At the end of the end
It's the start of a journey
To a much better place
And a much better place
Would have to be special
No reason to cry
No need to be sad
At the end of the end
