scaryshari 0 #9 August 4, 2005 *bump* for more prayers. Saw Ellie last night and he was very alert and wanted to talk so badly, but of course, the tubes keep him from doing so. The improvement is just amazing, especially looking back at a week ago. Again, keep the prayers rolling and continued support. He needs all the strength as he battles on. is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumperconway 0 #11 August 11, 2005 I just talked to Angie, Rico's wife. He is well. They did a treachiotomy(sp) and he can talk a little! I told him that I was ready to kill him and he smiled! He is getting more feelings in his limbs both upper and lower which is a great thing! I will keep the updates as I know them!!!! Peace and prayers.

jumperconway 0 #15 August 11, 2005 Please do not put much emphesis on my last post. I have been informed from an outside scource other than the family of the reality of the situation. Outside a medical miracle, this is as good as it gets. Sorry for the false sense of hope. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scaryshari 0 #17 August 11, 2005 There is reality, but miracles do happen. He's beaten many odds so far. If he's starting to have some feeling in his other limbs, that is tremendous progress from last week. Even a further stretch from the original post after his accident. is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigra 0 #18 August 11, 2005 Hope is often all that keeps us going and fighting. Don't underestimate its power. How many people have we known personally or read about even just on this site who have defied all odds and made far greater recoveries than the medical community told us was possible? The reality is, you can't measure his progress in terms of days. More like weeks, months and years. There is no telling what progress the medical community can make in that time. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his loved ones. maura Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sopheavy 0 #20 August 11, 2005 Sometimes….miracles do happen. And when science cannot do anything, faith comes in. God is the great physician and with Him all things are possible. Continue to pray for strength for Rico’s family and for him to have hope.---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the storm.

jumperconway 0 #23 September 19, 2005 From our teamate Fred Clark; Hi Guys Just wanted to give you all a quick update on Rico. Angie told me this morning that Rico is on his way to being weaned off the ventilator!!! Last week the ventilator was set at 12. On Thursday, of last week, the doctor told Angie that she needed to consider the fact that Rico may not get off the vent. Within 24 hours of that conversation Rico had sustained enough strong breathing on his own that the vent setting was moved to 10 then to 8, then 6 and is now at 4!! Angie also reports that Rico has a new valve that allows him to talk and that he is getting stronger every day with his ability to use this valve. Angie extends much thanks to all of you for all your prayers and good wishers for them. Please continue to keep our teammate and friend in your prayers!
