OMG! I am so overwhelmed by all your support and kind words. I am sitting here crying that some of you have even changed your avatar I am so touched and I know Legion will be so touched when I tell him tomorrow.
As of today, it is confirmed he does have ARDS. Prognosis is 50/50 at best right now. He remains on vent support. He is runing a high temp. He is a fighter though. He is on maximum sedation but awake today and in 4 point restraints so he does not pull out any tubes. He seemed happy when I told him about the well wishes from the board and I know he will be more touched tomorrow. He understood what I was saying to him and would nod his head yes or no. He is on heavy duty antibiotics. His chest x-ray was slightly improved today when compared to yesterday but it is wait and see, day to day.
They were able to stop the medication for blood pressure support today. Anything can happen. I'm hoping for the best. I just want him to get well.
Thank you again everyone for the thoughts and prayers! It means so much.

Keep encouraging and pushing him. The words of encouragement are huge and do wonders to help people pull through. I help manage a volunteer program at a hospital and the family support helps people immensely.
Best wishes to you both. You two are absolutely in my prayers.
I am so sorry to hear that he is going through this awful time. I hope that he is able to continue fighting and get better!!! Best wishes and all the luck to him
Came into this thread for the first time since I last posted and saw that avatar and thought he was better. Got my hopes up... It's a nice gesture nonetheless. After he gets well, he better come back to the Kings board and post again...

I've never met anyone personally from the boards but have seen Legionaire's comments ever since I signed up. I truly wish him the best and am confident he will pull through. Like some of you said, his comments on these boards show he is a fighter.
