Tom, from the blog triticale – the wheat / rye guy is in need of our thoughts and prayers.
I received an email from his wife and she informed me that Tom is in Intensive Care at St. Joes with “acute leukemia.” If they can stabilize him, he should be able to pull through this, but he is going through a very rough time right now. Here is an excerpt from her email.
Tom is in St. Joe’s ICU with acute leukemia. Wed AM he appeared
fine, he picked me up after work & ran several errands. 7:30 PM Wed
night his legs collapsed. We thought he had a stroke. He was
admitted to St. Joe”s with a white blood cell count of 300,000
(normal is 8,000). Thursday AM he couldn’t talk, he is currently
heavily, heavily sedated (only being able to move his right thumb
every now & then just to let me know he’s in there somewhere). We
have had some good news, but the bad news is they can’t stabilize his
red blood cells & he’s bleeding in his stomach.I tell folks that except for the leukemia he’s healthy as a horse –
which is to say, that if they can get him stabilized his strong
constitution will kick in & pull him through.
She is also thinking about stopping in at Drinking Right next Tuesday night, to meet some of the people that he husband talks about, let’s all hope that Tom can join her on that trip soon.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Tom and Deirdre Dee!

I’ve read Tom’s stuff, and really have no track record with him, but,…..This man needs our prayers. I’ve got my Rosary in hand, and I’m ready to use it. Make my day.
(and I’m not kidding, here goes)

OMG…how sad. I had a high school friend who suffered the same disease and it is devastating to everyone involved. I will pray for Tom and all his loved ones.

I’ll pray for Tom. I lost a high school classmate, Jay Handler, to the same disease. His brother, Chris Handler, is the guy who paints the fence with the Packer slogans across Lombardi from Lambeau.

They are in our thoughts and prayers.

Though I’m not familiar with Tom, I hope all goes well for him, and he’s able to return to his family soon.

I put it up on my Fox6 website. Lots of prayer response so far. Let me know if there is anything that I can do.

Tom deserves everyone’s prayers. A powerful prayer option I found that the family and friends may want to try is to request a prayer at the Western Wall for 40 days. Many people with health problems saw great improvements. Good luck.
