Ric Flair still in critical condition following colon surgery
Ric Flair remains in critical condition as of last word in a hospital in Atlanta.
Flair underwent colon surgery yesterday to remove a blockage that was the catalyst for a number of different health issues that followed including kidney failure. Those in WWE were made aware that Flair is on kidney dialysis as well. A key is being able to get the kidneys back functioning.
The surgery was considered a success, but as noted there are more issues involved.
With fans and people within the pro wrestling industry sending well wishes for her father, Charlotte Flair posted a message thanking people for their support this morning.
