Hello,

We would like to thank so many of you for all of your wonderful emails filled with thoughts and prayers. Many of you have asked for updates.

Tom is still fighting, with everything else working against him, his 39 year old heart keeps him here with us. Our Dr. has been there every step of the way trying to keep him comfortable however as she said there is only so much we can do.

I do read any email correspondence to him, so please feel free to email any messages.

Thanks
Melissa

UPDATE ON TOM

Hello Everyone,

This is to update you on Tom's condition. On Sept. 22 he was re-admitted into hospice. He currently sleeping most of the days, he has lost use of his legs due to disease progression into the bones which we found out a couple of weeks ago. Plus various other issues. Our Dr. has told us we have days, however Tom's age and his heart are keeping him here with us so we really don't know.

The times when Tom is awake, vary from inability to communicate to a classic Tom Clarke comments/joke.

We appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Thank you,
Melissa
