I wanted to thank all the members for their thoughts and prayers for my son back in June and July. You don't know how much it meant to him and our family. To this day, he still has the pages and pages of well wishes hanging on his bedroom wall. It's been a long 7 months of hospital stays and chemo treatments, but he is about half the way through the treatments process and the doctors have said he should recover fully by the middle of next year if no other infections occur. Some of his former teammates have brought him tee shirts and sweatshirts from the schools they are now attending for this Christmas and we subscribed to the college sports channels so he can watch them play some games. He is hoping that maybe by the end of summer or possibly fall he may be able to start working out and do some baseball drills.
We are going to try to petition the NCAA to allow him to be reinstated for his last 2 years even though he redshirted is freshman year of college if not maybe be an NAIA school will give him a look. These are his dreams right now but we're going to do whatever we can to make it happen.
I've only dropped by the site for a couple of minutes from time to time, but really needed to thank everyone for their support.
Everyone have a great New Year and enjoy the upcoming seasons and best of luck to all the players this year. TOFT
