Mary Lou Retton Breathing ‘Stronger’ But Still Remains In ICU

The news of Retton’s rare pneumonia diagnosis first broke on Tuesday, October 10, when her daughters shared that the Olympic medalist was “fighting for her life” and was in need of financial assistance because she doesn’t have health insurance.

At the time, they said she’d been unable to breathe on her own. Since then, the daughters have explained that she’s “still fighting” and receiving top-tier medical care.

As RadarOnline.com recently reported, the family were able to raise over $150,000 in just the first 24 hours after the announcement.
