Thomas Bickle and the Big, Bad, No Good Brain Tumor

Meet Thomas Bickle.


For those of you that don't know, this baby (and his parents) are good friends of mine! I met Sarah and Scott Bickle in college, and we have been friends for over a decade (wow). They were even kind enough to let me crash with them when I first moved to Dallas.

In August, Sarah gave birth to Thomas Bickle. Thomas is the sweetest, best tempered baby you will ever meet. He has the sweetest smile. He has heart shaped nostrils. And he had a brain tumor.

The doctors have operated and removed the tumor, but there is a long way to go. If you can help, even a little bit, please do.

The Bickles were featured in the Dallas Morning News on Monday. Here is the article from the Dallas Morning News. Forward that article to anyone you know who might be interested.

While everyone is maintaining a positive outlook, the future is both scary and uncertain. Scott has quit his job to stay home with Thomas. Thomas will start chemotherapy treatments very soon and, when he is old enough, radiation treatments. While Sarah's job does provide medical insurance, they are still confronted with mounting bills for lost time, the loss of half their income, mortgages, loan payments and various other bills. The Bickles are not extravagant people. They lead the least frivolous life of anyone I know. But between previous hospital bills and repairs and renovations on an aging house, their savings have already been depleted.

If you have the means, please help out these very deserving people. Any small amount will help.
