His website was down for hours tonight. It's back up now.

*shrug*

I'm not real happy hearing that he's still in the hospital and Wendy saying "He's not doing well, ~but~ he's still alive". That isn't very promising :(

I have no idea what was going on...the website appears to be up. There is a message on his Twitter Page from Wendy.

"Don't believe the rumors, Ronnie is still hanging in there!!!"

But if she reported that he wasn't doing good than I'm still a bit scared and hoping for a miracle here.

The power of positive thought is REALLY needed here..everyone THINK life..Ronnie needs the energy of those who love and admire him ..Come On Ronnie..!! (hug) pull through man !

You rock brother !

That is the nature of the internet, someone says "Ronnie is not doing well", then somehow then next thing you know "Ronnie is Dead" is all over the place.

I have learned to sit back and wait when it comes to the internet and new stories like this, call me old fashioned but I prefer the days of PROFESSIONAL journalism when you needed to have more than one Confirmed source before your story was even considered for publication or broadcast.

I hope for the best, but he has been in treatment for a long time now, and I fear the battle will exhaust him in the end. Carl Sagan died a few years ago, he beat his cancer, after the horrifying chemotherapy regimen, then caught pneumonia and died within a few days, he was so spent fighting the cancer he had nothing left.

Hoping for the best, prepared for the worst, God bless you Ronnie.

This true Lg

I know my own dads's battle with cancer was horrible..in the end death was better then the pain :sad:

I hope whatever is 'peaceful' for Ronnie is whats best for him..

Well this is certainly much better news than when I first posted this (sorry about incorrect reporting by the way) but still not great news. I got really worked up last night over this but I'm still hoping Ronnie will pull through.
