As you may have heard, our family has been struck by the most horrible sudden news — after a completely normal morning, Richard’s heart stopped spontaneously while he was out. He had chest compressions and was shocked back to life but once in the emergency room, his heart stopped again and needed to be restarted once again. Throughout the evening, he required multiple medications just to keep his blood pressure and heart rate up. All of the trauma of this event has left him in critical condition in the ICU, with a breathing tube, feeding tube, and many, many medications to help him. He is not responsive at this time but we are trying to stay hopeful and by his side.  

We already feel lost without him in our daily presence, any prayers, wishes and support you can give at this time is appreciated.
