ATP is Home from the Hospital - Dec 5 Update

Unread post by ATPTourFan »

Hello everyone I wanted to let everyone know that I am currently at Rhode Island hospital being treated for a spinal cord tumor in my neck I am hopeful to have correct of surgery tomorrow or Friday with some successful recovery after that I don’t know how long it will take but I figured I’d let all of you know since many of you are such good friends

Update - December 5

Hello KeaneyBlue family. After three months away from my family in the hospital I am back home.

Without the use of my legs I require a lot of help for just the basics. I’m now in a wheelchair during my long road to what I hope is a full recovery.

Yesterday I made the decision that I would not attempt to go to the URI-PC game. getting out of the house is still a major challenge this soon after returning home from the hospital.

My family has set up a go fund me to help offset medical expenses, home modifications, and reduced income. Please consider helping my family for what is going to be a very difficult year. Thank you all for the well wishes and support!

Thank you everybody for your well wishes and prayers

Tomorrow I have the first of three all day long surgeries. A total of three surgeries in about 10 to 12 days

The neurosurgeons say that this is literally the most difficult procedure they perform

Matt, I will ask some of my friends to pray for you also. I am sure you are in excellent hands as they have a great neuro department there. Us local KB’ers will have to get together at the Mews for a beverage once you’re healed and feeling well enough for it. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
