Guest guest Posted September 22, 1999 Report Share Posted September 22, 1999 Hello dear friends, Guess what? All the charges were brought forward to today and we wont have to go back for another 6 weeks! Tom pleaded guilty to assault on the group home staff, since there was no question about his actions. He did question what consequences the staff would have, though!! The other charges were dropped! he will be on probation, the length will be determined Nov. 3rd. Best part is that no incarceration will take place if he follows the rules set by the court - which he is prepared to do!!! HURRAY! His childrens services worker was there too. I think the judge was impressed that he was dressed properly (his purple suit and a silver shirt!) and even I dressed like an adult! I think that things are looking up for tom this year! I asked him about WHY shoplifting? he said that he took the shirt to punish others, then himself, then couldnt put it back. He knew it was wrong, and has never done anything like that before, but felt that he needed to do it... What a relief. I'm going to have a rest, I'm exhausted!!! take care all - wendy, in canada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 22, 1999 Report Share Posted September 22, 1999 , I'm so glad for you and Tom! All that's left is to go back in November to find out the length of probation? Good for Tom that he's prepared to follow the court's rules--great attitude. Enjoy your rest, you've earned it. Kathy R. in Indiana Re: update on Tom > From: " W.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 I thought I would send an update on Tom. Tom (17 years old) had a transplant 5/05/05 at the University of Minnesota. He has had many complications along the way, but is doing well now. Here is his website: http://www.caringbridge.org/wi/tomneddo He has no Philadelphia chromosomes according to his last BMB. He is 100% donor cells in his marrow. He is BCR/ABL negative according to his last PCR. He is currently back into " behind the wheel " training and will try for his license in June. Yikes! He is not going to school (too many germs) and has homebound instruction 3 days a week. He goes to physical therapy 3 times a week to build up his strength. If you would like a detailed story about his transplant experience, you can go to the website and review the journal history. It is long! Thanks to all the list mates who have supported him/us through this journey. I still read the posts.
