An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Prayers Needed for WI Blogger
triticale – the wheat guy is in need of all our prayers!
From Badger Blogger:
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.
Tom isn’t an obsessive blogger like some of us, but I do stop by there from time to time, to see what new recipes and insights he has. We’ve even emailed a time or two. Very nice guy!! Please keep him, and his family, in your prayers.
