Thomas and family - I just learned of you from George on the ALL-KIDS ACOR list. I just met you on your page, and am so inspired by your smile, your humor, and the tremendous faith of you and your family. Know that many of us are praying for all of you. Stay strong, and may God richly bless you.

Hi Thomas,
I am back at Penn State right now
and back to the work. You would
be amazed at how many people come
up to me asking where I got my Lance
Armstrong bracelet, and I tell them
only the bravest person I know gave it
to me. In the past year and a half you
have fought and conquered all the obstacles
in front of you, and I know you have that
power to get over this hurdle as well.
No matter how big the problem, your positive
attitude, your smile, and your love will burn
right through it. And if you need help, you
have our entire family backing you.
Nothing messes with us! I LOVE YOU
and am thinking about you always.
Love, Ali

Hi Thomas: Pop Pop and I send you all of our love. You
are the sunshine of our lives. That beautiful smile of
yours warms the hearts of everyone who enters your room.
You are so brave, and we know that God will reward you
with all of His Healing Powers because you have shown us
the true meaning of His Love.
Have a restful and peaceful good night. Love you always,
Nonna.

Dear Thomas,Frankie,Barbara,Robert,Julia,&William

I check in on you just about everyday,& it makes me smile to see that beautiful little face of yours.(I'm old so to me your little : ).From all that I've read about you it makes wish that I could know you better. Just know that someday you will be healthy again..doing all the things that brings joy to your life. There is a promise from Gods Word that says "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes...that pain and sickness will be no more...And he is making all things new".REVELATION 21:3-5.
I love you Thomas...and the rest of your Family

Dear Thomas,
I have to answer Laura Burns' question about what you
requested to hear while you were having your bandages
changed: Bohemian Rapsody by Queen and I Want To Be Sedated
by The Ramones. We also listened to Raindrops Keep Falling
On My Head...which was requested more than once by Nanny
and William. To know you is to love you. Here is a William
story: He has adopted two dolls from Nonna's basement. One
is a girl he named Barbara and the other is a boy he named
Thomas. He insists on putting them to sleep before he will
lay down. He kissed his Thomas baby and said "I make the
boo-boos go away". From his lips to God's ears. Uncle Ed
will be out early tomorrow and I'll be there when Kat gets
out of school. Until tomorrow then, loving thoughts and
prayers to the most handsome boy I know (besides Robert of
course).All My Love

Dear Thomas -

There are so many people praying for
you here and around the world.
Did you know that every Sunday
your name is read from the prayer
list of Saint Andrews Church in
London, England? Or that your
name is heard by everyone at mass
on Sundays at St. Augustine's in
Los Angeles, California? What a
special person you are that your
courage and bright smile have
inspired the prayers of so many
people. Stay strong.

We are all praying for you and thinking of you. We included you as a special intention at the Shrine of Mary in Knock, Ireland when we were there this summer. When we went to Mass there we realized that the day was the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. We took this as sign that God is keeping you in the palm of His hand. God Bless.

Hi!!
I am praying for you.
Everyone here is praying for you.
Tomorrow is school.
My Grandma got a new dog named Lu Lu.
She has not been outside, she is 2 years old.
Everything was so new to her when we brought
her for a walk. She used to live with people
who kept her inside. First she smelled everything.
The grass, flowers, and dirt. Then all the
sounds, dogs, kids, birds,. It was fun to watch her.
Now we have to have her learn what walks are for.
You are never more than a thought a way.
We are all praying for you all the time.

Hi, Thomas,
I'm new to your guestbook and your prayer list. Jenny Kasmin from St. Raphael's in Livingston told me a little about you. Count on my prayers, too.

You probably know that Thomas is a great name. estbook and your prayer list. Jenny Kasmin from St. Raphael's in Livingston told me a little about you. Count on my prayers, too.

You probably know that Thomas is a great name. Not to dis Peter or Paul, mind you. But since Thomas is my first name, I like to give it it's due. Thomas the Apostle, you know, Doubting Thomas? Well, he really did the disciples a favor. He wasn't too quick to believe that Jesus rose because he didn't want his friends to buy into something that wasn't legit. So, he put his life and faith on the line for them.

I think it's tremendously brave of you to do the same. All that you have been through shows you're a tough kid with a lot of faith and trust. Thanks for being such a great example for us who may not always have enough faith. I believe in miracles and the healing power of God. So, please know that you are in my prayers, too.

While you're praying, would you remember my friend, Matt, who is also sick? He could use some prayers, too.

God Bless You,
Father Tom Cembor

Oh, Ellie is so proud today
because she jumped up on the Aero-bed
that Julia and Maggie slept on last night.
(It's only 2 inches high, but it's still a bed !)...
She jumped on it just like Michelena, so now she thinks she's really cool.

Dear Thomas-
Hope you are starting to feel a little bit better. I was looking through some old pictures yesterday and I found some adorable ones of you, Robert, Julia and all of your cousins juming on a trampoline at your Uncle Tony and Aunt Kelly's house. You and your brother were dressed in adorable matching outfits! All of you were so cute! I'm so glad you have been spending time with your family. I have been thinking of you and praying for you every day.

Good Morning Thomas
We woke up in Lavallette this morning. The new day is
always greeted with new hope and prayers for courage,
strength, and grace - all of which you possess.
An early morning walk on the beach uncovered quite a
treasure washed up in the churning ocean - a coconut! The
ocean has been very choppy due to hurricane Frances and
Jacob has had a great time making up stories about where
this coconut came from and what kind of journey its
had to get to the NJ coast. Our prayers and good wishes
spill your way today and every day. We love you Thomas.

My name is Paul Dickson. I am married to Tere (your Uncle Ed's sister). I have been following your illness and wanted to send a quick note to say that we are thinking about you and wish you a speedy recovery. This must be very tough, much tougher than most of us understand. You sound like a very tough guy, and someone who has been showing a great deal of courage. I respect you a great deal. I can't wait to hear that you have beaten this darn thing. We will give an extra prayer for you tonight. I wish you all the best, as does Tere. Thinking of you in Chesapeake Virginia.

All the best.

Malachi 3:3 says " He will sit as a refiner& purifier of silver"
This verse puzzled some women in a bible study so one woman offered to find out about the process of refining silver and see what this statement meant about the
character and nature of God.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver
over the fire and let it heat up.
He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold it
in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as
to burn away all of the impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot
and then asked the silversmith if it was true that he had
to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver
was being refined.
The man answered that yes he not only had to sit there
holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the
silver the entire time it was in the fire.
Then she asked, How do you know when the silver is fully
refined? The silversmith smiled at her and answered,

I belong to a group of "Angels on Board" who met on the internet. We have been praying for Noelle for a while and I wanted you to know that you are in good prayer hands. We have seen some mighty miracles through the use of prayer. Your strength and belief are amazing for the age that you are, and I know GOD will be with you every step of the way. Keep fighting and keeping a positive outlook. Wishing you many, many blessings and GOOD health.

Most sincerely, Tracey

You are always in our prayers and even more in these moments.
Tomorrow when we go to Mass during the Holy Eucharist we will ask for
Thomas’s speedy recovery.
In these moments we pray to God to visit Thomas and blow his Holy Spirit over him and with his precious Blood which he shed for all sinners and for our salvation to heal Thomas’s body and restore him to good health
All this we ask in the name of God.
God and the Virgin Mary be with you always.
Debbie, Johnny, Ithram, Nileyka y Danovan(cancer survivor) http://www3.caringbridge.org/nj/danovanvalentin/index.htm


Mom or Dad, pray the rosary of Divine Mercy continuously, one hour for each year of age that Thomas has. When Danovan was in intensive care, that night for 15 hours I did it and that same day he left the intensive unit.
And remember “If we have faith we will see great miracles”

Hi Thomas, You are such an inspiration
to so many people! I belong to a prayer
group called Angels on Board. We are praying for you
EVERY day. In the book of Psalms chapter 18, it says
"I love you oh Lord my strength.
The Lord is my
fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in
whom I take refuge.
He is my shield, my salvation.
my stronghold. I call to the Lord,
and I am saved from my enemies.
From heaven He heard my voice.
He reached down from on high
and took hold of me.
He drew me out of deep waters.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy.
He rescued me because He delighted
in me." This is how God is, Tom. We go through
battles, but the Lord is always there with us,
and will rescue us from them.
My grand daughter had cancer at 6 1/2 yrs old.
She just turned 9,
and is a 2 year survivor.
Jesus was her strength
and carried her through the battle,
just as He carries you.
Keep believing in His power.
He will never leave you or forsake you.

Dear Thomas: I stopped at St. Pat's tonight to say a Rosary and there were many people coming and going all, praying for you. It's 2:15 and I just checked your site and everything is quiet; hopefuly, this means you and your folks are getting some much needed rest. I pray, too, that your doctor was able to help relieve any discomfort you might be experiencing from your rash and blisters. SO many people love you, Thomas, and are praying VERY hard for you and your family. Love, Mrs. Burke (O'Loughlin's grandmother AKA Nonnie)

Dear Thomas, Barbara and Frank, This is Pam Staley, Althea's grandmom. I am so sorry that I did not get to say Good-bye to you today. I know that Thomas is going through a rough time now and that you are all doing everything in your power to help him. I wish that there was something that I could do to help. Thomas is in our prayers every day. We know that he is a very special person and that he is very lucky to have a wonderful family to support him. I am grateful that you were across the hall from Cris and Althea. You were great support for her and I know your concern for each other is a blessing that she will never forget. I am sure that you will keep in touch with each other. We are all very interested in Thomas' progress and will continue to keep you all in our prayers. Keep strong...... All our love, Pam Staley.

Thomas! Well today's Journal entry has a few more bits
of info on your continued battle to the end of the
tunnel. God bless Mom for letting me get my daily
Thomas news. It is so important for a teacher
to learn from her students and boy did you give me
the best lesson plan of my career and I wish I could
have learned without your pain, I do know that more than
the heart of Jesus, Thomas, you are now, his crusader.
Like Indiana Jones you have strived for your Holy Grail and
in the process helped 100's believe again we can imitate
you. (Hey! Am I getting too teacherish,? but you make
me so proud that I know you and your phenomenal family
that I can't help it. Ok Trey news. New Baby in December or for New Years, Soda has been forgotten as a name, but he is really into his matchbox trucks and Thomas the Train..
Thomas isn't a bad name for a new boy, what do you think? He'd sure be a handsome, kind and strong boy..worth consider
ing, huh! It's late, but since I also worry that my classroom looks pretty unfinished, sleep isn't easy these days. It will get done. If only Harry Potter could use his wand (yes, I still love Harry and the Hogwarts Gang)
Feel like reading? What? I remember you said you made some
things with Dad What else is there? Trey and I would like to send some thing to you small, special (no not a toy
truck) He is very interested in what and where you are!!)
Yogi has grown, too 60 pounds and 5 months old. All legs and loves to chase Trey. Chaos in my daughters house!!!
Have I rambled on enough, Please know all the Brady Bunch
is praying and remembering you and your family with admiration and love. James calls every day for a Thomas update!! Time to watch the Convention for the Presidency and then try and sleep. Hug the family and Have Mom or dad let me know about a book OK...Love to you and Althea, Mrs. Brady

Hi Thoma, I'm a friend of Althea's mom and dad. It sounds as though you have a huge extended family at CHOP---and, by the number of wishes in Althea's guestbook from your family, that you already have a very large family; a wonderful family full of love. Looks as though you have loads of prayers, but will add mine as well. You're a real trooper. XOXO, Joan

Hi Thomas
Just checking in.... reminding you that we love you and
we continue to send or (((((hugs))))))))) and love out each day. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you
and talk about you. In fact, the Lance Armstrong bracelets
are such a big hit (and so impossible to get lately) that they've become a real conversation starter. I tell everyone that I wear it for you. I must tell 4 strangers a day about you! They approach me wanting to know where to get one, but they leave me knowing all about you and saying a silent prayer for your speedy recovery. Funny how prayer spreads! Love, The Burns Fam

Hi Thomas. I just got back from having some simple tests at the hospital for the last two days. You made
me GO and do it. If i could teach you xtables, you sure
can teach me courage. I am at my sisters overnight and I
am fine. Going to school tomorrow and play catch up so
the new third graders will feel part of the Bunch.
I pray for you (and now Althea) every day and God is listening. Stay focused and strong and soon very soon
I'd like to see you and your family in Chatham. Much

Rumson, NJ USA - Tuesday, August 31, 2004 7:09 AM CDT
Dear Thomas.
I had to put a net over the whole pond because the Blue Heron
has been in the neighborhood and ate most of my frogs. The
pond has been net free for so long, that heron has got a good memory . I believed with the Willow and Locus tree covering my
little pond from the sky that he (the heron) had forgotten about us.
Not so. The problem now is Bogey tries to walk on the net over the
water going after the frogs who find themselves on top of the net.
This gives Bogey a few more seconds to play with the frogs before
they figure out how to get into the water. The fish are all there and taking care of their babies. At some point next week I'll have to
capture some of my pond friends to bring into the classroom.
Thomas, a pond can be alot of work but the joy it brings is so worth
it. God whispers and I think of you often. With a heart full of prayers. Mrs. Block

Good Morning Thomas!
I hope you had a better rest last night. Did you see the 200m Men's finals? It was great to see the United States sweep that race! Did you ever see the movie "Cheaper by the Dozen" with Steve Martin? It is a very funny movie! We watched it the other night. I hope it doesn't give Russell and Danielle any ideas though!
I hope you have a peaceful weekend and feel better. You are always in our thoughts. Keep Smiling!

Dear Thomas,
It was so great to hear your voice today. I know you
have been going through a very difficult time recently but
better days are ahead. When the going gets really
difficult, fill your mind with happy thoughts...all the
people who love you, sunny days at the beach, playing with
good friends and being home. When I get down and really
miss you I think of all the good times we've had and the
great ones yet to come. Remember singing REALLY loud
"Meet me at Nonna's place...we're gonna have a party??"
Well you can bet that we're going to have that party as
soon as you are up for it. Stay STRONG and POSITIVE and
remember how much you are loved.
Hugs and Kisses

Hi! Thomas: I feel like I haven't spoken to you in weeks
'and I guess that's about right. Got a chance to leave for Cape Cod on the 10th and hurried to get a head start. But!!!!It rained every day I was there except for one. I read a lot and rented movies and walked and relaxed. I guessI am ready to go to school tomorrow and get my new class list!! I spent from Friday 8/20 till today with Chatty Trey, I spent time in his kiddie pool, his play house (Imagine me climbing in through those flaps into a fisher price post office house!!) Not a pretty sight. Of course my main role was to watch Bob the Builder the video of Army trucks and planes and LittlePeople. He never stopes talking or asking questions, but he is very smart, I think!!, and he is fun to be around. I asked Kerry to write to you , but i didn't give her complete address so she couldn't. Anyway, their dog Yankee Yogi is such a big puppy and just causes more chaos all around. Hey! Your news does sound good and I bet I see you in a few weeks. I pray every day for you and Your little friend will be added to the list I never take off my yellow bracelet because it reminds me to say quick prayers for you and your family. Oh! Trey is going to have a new little brother or sister in early January. He thinks a good name for a baby is either Soda or Silly. I think we won't go there At least I hope not. Well have to prepare for teachers meeting and getting my class all ready, slow and steady. I can't wait to see you in person with that smile that I remember so well Hang in Thomas. We're with you! Hugs to your family, especially Mom and Dad . Love ya< Mrs. Brady

Hi Thomas: We were happy to see you on Saturday. You are
looking better, and I know that visit from Robert and
William certainly made you feel better. That William is
really something...........with that hospital gown, mask
and gloves, he looked like a doctor who had shrunk in the
washer. He was so delighted to see you, as was Robert.
Robert enjoyed the time he had with you alone while we
went searching for those Philly "subs".

We are all praying for you and for Althea. Love you

a couple of days. I taught her how to alter serve. We went
to the pool together. It was raft day, so we could bring our

And I hope everything goes well so you can be released. I just
came back from Cooperstown, New York and read all the news. Every
night in our cabin we said a Hail Mary for you. One day that
we were there, Kevin's wrist band broke and my Mom said that
maybe it was a sign that you were getting better. And she was
right! Keep it up!

Good morning Thomas!
Hope today is a better day. With all
you're going through, we thought you (and your
parents) could use a laugh, so here goes:
This weekend, Mr. Marconi and I were having
a discussion about who would be the three people most
likely to "streak" at a party (don't ask me how we
got on that topic....) Anyway, your dad was one
of the three we chose! (the other two shall remain
unnamed....for now) What an honor, huh?
By the way, in case the term "streaking" is too 1970's
and you are not familiar with its meaning, your parents
can explain it to you. Or maybe your dad will
demonstrate!!!
Feel better-
Love to you all, Mrs. M.

Hope you are feeling better today.
Michelena really misses Ellie; in fact she looks at us and
yawns all the time like she's bored!!
I think she needs to see her really soon...
And I know that Luanne needs to see you
really soon too. She should be there by this afternoon.

And when you don't feel so good, he says, "I know exactly how he feels." You are our little hero over here. We're routing for you so that John can follow in your footsteps. Keep up that beautiful smile. (Your Dad's cousin Margaret).

We got home a little while ago from visiting you and the
first thing William asked when we got home was "does
Thomish have a bellyache?" Your mom told him your stomach
hurt when she spoke with him on the phone. I told him that
you were feeling better. We hope the next time we see you
it will be at home. We love you so much and are very
proud of your strength and courage. Hugs to you and Mom

The pictures of you with the Yankees are awesome! We went to a Red Sox game in Boston. I wanted to wear my Yankees hat but my mom and dad said I would probably get killed if I did, so I didn't. Not looking forward to school but I hope you will be back this fall. Hang tough! Your friend, Brian Ballard. My mom wants to talk now. . . Hi buddy! Think of you always. You are amazing - so strong.

had Freddy Adu advertise it. (He is the 15 year old soccer pro)
And I looked at his wrist, and I saw one of those "Live Strong"

We had the pleasure of being with William last night at Deanna's 30th birthday party. He was having a very good time dancing and running around. Grandma and Grandpa were taking very good care of him. He is just adorable, but I guess that's a given if you're a Peterpaul. RIGHT! We are delighted to read today's message and will continue to pray for you until you are 100%.

Sounds like you are sleepy from your meds which will
help you get through those terrible sores. In the meantime
we want to thank your dad who is so wonderful for keeping
us posted each day as we tune into seeing how you are
doing. The next few weeks will be hard but we know that
you are a fighter. Your uncle charlie the boxer would be
so proud!!!!!!!!!!! YOU fight and smile while doing it
You are AMAZING

Dear Thomas,
Good luck with everything! I know that you can do it. Also,
my brother, Kevin, ALWAYS wears his Lance Armstrong wrist-band
(even to sleep!). I would wear mine all the time, but my wrist
is too small, so I leave it on my dresser where I can see it!
Yesterday my family and I were at a party in Pennsylvania and
Kevin was wearing his wrist band. He told a few people that
it was for you, so they are now praying for you too! Hope you
get better soon!

Hi Thomas,
It's Pilar, Millie and Airam and we are
at Luanne and Robin's home right now with Ellie
and we took her for a long walk this morning.
Right now Ellie is chewing on Pilar's sleeve
and they both love every minute of it.
We hope you feel better very soon.
Millie is getting together all of the
ingredients for your favorite rice
and pea's. She wants to know how
soon you'd like a dish? Please let us know
so that she can light the stove and get
to work. She's standing by
with pot on stove and spoon in hand.
All of us are wearing our
"Livestrong" bracelets proudly.

Dear Thomas,
I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well.
I hope the medicines are making you feel better.
I just was watching CBS news and they did a story on
the Livestrong wristbands. They have raised over 7 million
dollars for the LAF already!!! On the news, they showed
celebrities wearing them and even the president was wearing one.
The wristbands are all sold out they reported, and they are backordered now!!!
Thank goodness we have ours!!!
However, I didn't see anyone wearing them like I do (since my wrist is too small,
I wear mine as an anklet - so does my mom).
I am praying extremely hard for your angel cells and you!!!
Keep Smiling!!!
Love,
Samantha

We are thinking of you all the time and hope your counts jumpstart a.s.a.p. We know that feeling of antispation when the nurse comes in with her little card with your "numbers of the day". Keep focusing on the day when there is a smile and the numbers!
Althea loves her elmo drawing (and many others have complimented it too.) We hung it up & when I ask her did Thomas draw that for you, she tilts her head, smiles, says yes and pats her heart.
All of our hearts are with you my young friend.

Hi Thomas,
I can't wait to see you on Sat.-I have a couple of surprises in store for you. Well, actually they're not that thrilling,probably,but you'll like them. As I was crossing the street in Madison, your mom passed and stopped the car with W in the back. He was working really hard at getting out of the seatbelt on his car seat. He played in Hi-guy's car for 45 minutes the other day and didn't want Julia to touch anything. Also,he can take other people's food, but they can't touch his. I can, if I ask nicely. He kept trying to eat Julia's chicken caesar salad.Have you heard of Peter Benchley's book, Beast?
He is the author of Jaws and The Deep. I like his writing.
See you soon lots of love,

Hi Thomas
We just came home from a swim meet at Driftwood
Cabana Club in Sea Bright. We swam against Allenhurst!
The whole pool was filled with your sister and cousins (there were almost 10 of them I think!) Jacob and AJ nearly swam against each other, but they were in different heets.
The sidelines were packed with your grandparents, aunts & uncles! We were surrounded by YOU! They were all easy to spot, wearing the yellow bracelets. I hugged them all tight, knowing that the love would make its way to you. I felt closer to you tonight than I have since I've seen you at Robert Wood in New Brunswick. Our prayers remain close to you and our positive energy is flowing your way! We love you Thomas. You are our hero!!

when , perhaps, you're not feeling like it at the moment. Hey! That makes us smile and be encouraged even more. I baby sat for Mrs. Bartolomei's baby, Jack, on Friday night. He is sooooo cute! I hope to see more of him
during the summer when camp is over. 3 days more, but who's counting! My prayers and hopes are always with you and your family. I can't wait to see you walk into St. Pat's and into my classroom for a lollipop and have you and your friends sing Fifty Nifty!!! Much love is always going to you
as well as thoughts and wishes. Thomas, as Nemo would say, Just keep swimming, you'll do it. Love, prayers and yeah!

Just to let you know I called Hot Topic again and they said
the T-shirt will probably take another day or two. As soon
as they call I'll pick it up and deliver it to you. We
think about you every minute of every day. Hope to speak
to you later...All Our Love

T-Man,
Ellie misses you and so do I.
I think she might be part sheepdog
because she keeps herding the cats all
around the house. She is now officially "the boss"
at 80 Seaview. She's a tough little cookie,
just like her Dad !!
I guess it's only a matter of time
before Cheryl Crowe and you are dating, huh??

at the National Basillca here in Washington, DC) to pray
for you. Three of my classmates belong to religious orders,

Praying SO hard for your transplant, Thomas. I went to Holy Rosary Shrine, again, and placed your name in the prayer book that the nuns read and pray over, daily. Said a Rosary and I'm checking here, hourly. Be strong and keep your heart focused on Him. Love, Mrs. Burke (O'Loughlins's grandma)

God Bless you and your family tonight and during your transplant. We will pray for your donor tonight and the Doctors who will be involved in your transplant. Good Night.

Dear Thomas,
Our family usually leaves the message writing in
Samantha's hands, but tonight we all wanted to write.
We thought and prayed for you and all those involved
in your care all day long. Just a bit ago after we read
your great news, Matt happened to show us the online update
on Lance A's victory today. We couldn't help but smile as
we read phrase after phrase that could have easily described
your strength and courage as well, all through your journey and certainly this past week and today. We thought you might enjoy seeing some of them too:
"amazing final dash of speed" - thought of today's events
"distinctive in his yellow jersey" - thought of the current picture of all of you with you in the yellow jersey
"launched himself into top gear within sight of the (finish) line" - thought of your strength and courage especially this past week and we're sure today too
What an inspiration both of you are, as well as your donor, your medical team, and your family.
With our prayers and love,
Lisa, Bob, Matt, and Samantha Kennedy

Hi, Thomas! How are you doing? My Mom and I were watching
the Today Show this morning, and we saw a boy with leukemia
who created a cancer computer game for kids with cancer.
The game is a kid who runs around trying to defeat cancer

Dear Thomas,
Hi!
This morning I went to church
and said a prayer that everything goes
good. It is another rainy day. Boo!
Your Friend,

Dear Thomas,
We were so happy to spend time with you yesterday...you
looked great and we were thrilled that you were acting like
your normal goofy self (or was that Dad?) Remember to keep
doing those exercises so you'll be strong when you get out.
We will come to see you again this week (We thought we
looked pretty cool in our gowns and masks). We've told you
this before but we'll say it again...you amaze us with your
STRENGTH and COURAGE!!!!!We love you so much and look
forward to having you home and healthy.

Hi Thomas,
Hoping you tolerate the chemo well this week.
We pray for no side effects! We pray and think of
you throughout the day and will continue to as you
approach your transplant day. We thank God that medicine
has developed the ability to transplant you with healthy
cells and cure you!!! You can do it!!! Love, The Gardner's
