"Thanks Holmcall. Thank you, too, for posting the updates. I just left the hospital and he is feeling much better. No more fever, but he cannot walk. He can feel his legs, but they won't cooperate. They continue to do tests, but his recovery is remarkable. This morning, he realized how sick he has been and he is very emotional about it. I read him the article and all of the comments from sites and he had tears in his eyes. You are all right: Alex "The Bronx Bomber" is a fighter! Love and hugs, Jacquie - RETIRED BOXERS FOUNDATION"

Hi Holmcall

Thank you so much for getting the updates out there. Here is the latest:

It's Tuesday morning and Alex had his second physical therapy session
this morning. As I told you earlier, he cannot walk. He can feel his
feet, but he cannot make them move like he wants to. I know for a
fact that Alex is a fighter: In spite of the fact that he has severe
gout in both feet (new development) and his right arm is as big as his
thigh (swollen from all the IV'), he worked with the PT to stand with
a walker. The therapist wanted two tries, but he did 4. The
therapist was very happy, but Ramos want three more, which he did. He
is going to walk come hell or high water. He is in great physical
condition since he has been going to the gym on a regular basis.
Stong heart and strong will. I could see that he worked through a lot
of pain and he worked up a sweat!

Alex will have a lot of work to do to get back his legs and it is
encouraging to him to know how many people prayed for him and who care
about him. If anyone wants to do something, I would suggest that you
send him a note or a card. He will not be on the computer for at
least a week, but if you want to leave him a message, I print them out
and take them to the hospital. If you are in the Los Angeles area, he
welcomes visitors. He is at Simi Valley Hospital, 2175 Sycamore, Simi
Valley, CA 93065. He is in the Telemetry unit, Room 272.

Thank you again for all your love and support and for your prayers.
It makes a difference!

Thought you would all like to know that Alex Ramos is out of the
hospital, and is walking with a cane, although he has a ways to go.
He is blown away by all of the email and phone calls and cards. It is
hard for me to believe that one week ago this minute, he was coming
out of a 48 hour coma!!! He will be getting home health assistance
(nursing) and he will also have home physical therapy. He got
amazing care at Simi Valley Adventist Hospital and the nurses were sad
to see him go. Alex thanks you all for your love, prayers and
support, and asks that you continue through his recovery. His feet
are still very painful when he walks, but that does not stop him!
Alex IS a fighter and we are all grateful for his miraculous recovery.
Like I said, he's too mean to die and he is to determined to beat
this thing, and I believe he will. As you would expect, he wants to
run but he has to walk, first.

I would also like to thank you all for the moral support. We could
not have gone through this alone. We needed to multiply our own
prayers and you were there for us. THANK YOU!

If you want to call Alex, feel free to call him on his cell phone at
(805) 390-7334.

Love and hugs,
