Im just received this email frm Jacquie Richardson (Executiive Director of the Retired Booxers Foundation) of which I am a big supporter:

"Alex was moved to the Intensive Care Unit at about 5 today. He
remains heavily sedated and on the respirator. The Neurologist saw
him today and the are nearly certain that Alex had one or more severe
seizures and probably an asthma attack. His lungs are wheezing and
they are caring for that condition. The neurologist did a test to
determine whether Alex's eyes would respond to light and they did,
which is a good thing. I know that he is in pain because he cries out
and he had a seizure while I was there. Thank God he is so heavily
sedated. I am pretty sure he has no clue how sick he is. '

The hospital ICU nurses told me that the next 12 hours are critical.
He will be weaned from the respirator and we will see if he can
breathe on his own. He will be in a drug induced coma for at least
the next 24 hours. After that, the doctors will know more.

I will keep you all posted. Your prayers mean the world right now. I
would call each and every one of you if I could, but my phone battery
died a couple of hours ago. Email will at least help me communicate
with all of you. I will send updates as I can. If you would rather
not get these emails, just let me know.

God Bless!
