Former Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton has been privately facing a serious health battle that has left her unable to breathe on her own.

RadarOnline.com has learned that her gymnast daughter, McKenna Kelley, shared the update along with a link to a fundraiser while revealing that Retton is sadly "fighting for her life" in the ICE for over a week with a rare form of pneumonia.

What's the ICE? I know what the ICU is in hospitals and I know what ICE is in immigration.

Sorry to hear but the GoFundMe seems in bad taste.

Apparently she doesn’t have any insurance according to a story I just read. No idea about the circumstances.

How does someone like her not have medical insurance?
A week or longer in a hospital is not cheap
Plus if she had to have heart surgery or something major she would owe 6 figures

They got divorced a couple years ago. Could explain her not having any health insurance.

Exposes COVID and gives alternative treatment if you contracted the so called virus. People that developed brain tumors, blood clots, high blood pressure, diabetes, respiratory issues, pneumonia are reversing things by using nicorette patch or gum for 6 days. Watch the video

Understand it only works if you have any of these diagnosis after contracting the so called covid virus.

I developed diabetes after catching COVID and now I dont have it.

Upvote just for the mind bender of a post.

Anyway, back here on earth. Anyone around in 84 remembers she was the face of the US and a massive story that year. Way bigger than Simone Biles. Mary Lou holding that medal was literally everywhere.

She married former UT QB Shannon Kelly and had 4 kids but they’re now divorced (Which I didn’t realize). One daughter was a gymnast at LSU.

Prayers that she pulls through.

She was a gymnast, do you think she had a fortune? There was no money then, and her bit parts on tv shows were a pittances compared to today. She probably signed autographs and scraped by.

Sucks, but it happens.

she just got divorced 5 years ago. Her ex-husband made a lot of money. She lives in a very nice house. LINK /

It is somewhat puzzling how someone who lives in a 9000 square foot home in a nice Houston suburb needs has a gofundme account set up for medical bills.

How'd I know it was going to be on some cheap, poorly formatted webpage?
