Word today about Steve Young’s condition is less comforting than what we heard yesterday. His difficulty in breathing has increased significantly. He continues to be treated in the intensive-care unit at Sinai Hospital for pneumonia and infections from his injuries in the fire.

This is discouraging, but his condition, though worse, is stable, and his family expects that the treatment will be successful.

And his family has been touched by the outpouring of expressions of concern and contributions. Please continue to keep them in mind.
