Dad in ICU at Sloan due to lung complications

My father was moved to ICU at Sloan because his lungs are not cooperating. He is on 40% oxygen now (not intubated) and they are trying to wean him off. Apparently he is a shallow breather (diagnosed COPD). It is sad/scary to see him in the ICU and I am just asking for prayers for "Ralph" at the moment.

Thanks and will be back tomorrow with another update.

    He is in good hands.
    There is little I can say except my prayers are with you.

    Hello Kathy and Ralph
    Thanks
    Hello Kathy and Ralph
    Thanks for your update. Glad you made it to Sloan safely. You and dad are in one of the best hospitals!
    We will continue to pray that Ralph's lungs improve and that he is able to get out of the ICU, and able to start fighting his cancer!

    You, your dad and your family are in my prayers. We will keep the faith that soon your dad will be out of ICU and getting stronger every day.
