Tommy grew up in West Nyack, NY. Before Tommy’s accident he enjoyed playing baseball in the West Nyack LL and basketball with St. Paul’s CYO. Tommy attended Clarkstown South High School where he played, baseball and basketball, but his love was his football team where Tommy was their All Section Quarterback. Tommy recently graduated from Manhattan College with a Business Marketing degree. He has stayed very close with his high school friends and made many more friends through college and family around the tri-state area. Anyone who knows Tommy knows how big of a NY sports fan he is, except when it comes to football where he has been a passionate Carolina Panthers fan since he was 3 years old.
Tommy is facing a very difficult future for a young 23-year-old man. Those of us who love Tommy are committed to being there for him every step of his future. As we begin to face the reality of the situation, we are realizing that we will soon be completely overwhelmed with expenses. Tommy desperately needs your help.
To help offset such expenses, a fundraising campaign in Tommy’s honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the New York Spinal Cord Injury Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for injury/medical-related expenses only. If you would like to make a contribution, please click the DONATE NOW bar.
Thank you for your support, kindness and prayers. Please know that your contribution counts.
With a grateful heart,
Tommy’s Family
Wow!! What another amazing event we had on Saturday. The 5th annual Tommy Turkey Bowl was the best ever. Just an awesome showing of support for Tommy and encouragement for him to keep pushing forward. We had over 20 teams participate in the flag football games under crisp sunny skies with many more onlookers and supporters of Tommy. Family and friends all around that continued their support after the football at a great event at Norcina's with food, drink and many more donations. This year was even more special because Tommy was such a big part of it with pre event interviews and a thank you to all speech to kick the game off. This was also the year Tommy chose to give back by donating a portion of the proceeds to Push to Walk, the rehab facility which has been instrumental in Tommy's progress the past five years.
Thank you to all that participated - whether in person or in spirit. It means so much to Tommy and his family. Happy Holidays to all - #webelieve
We hope everyone is staying safe and healthy in what has been a difficult time for so many. Like many others Tommy has found a way to adjust and adapt to to this new world where there is so much more done over video conferences and social media, while resuming some of his in person physical therapy. Overall Tommy has been relatively healthy during the pandemic and has continued to work on improving his life in any way possible. Most recently Tommy has been hired as a part-time contractor for Salesforce to work in it's Product Marketing and Strategic Partnerships area. While this has been and continues to be an amazing opportunity, it has also posed a number of challenges around connectivity / technology that he's working his way through. However as with everything that has come Tommy's way over the past 5+ years, he does whatever it takes to push forward and make things happen and we expect no different results here.
Thanks for all your continued support and prayers #webelieve
Well 2020 has sure been challenging for all and no different for Tommy. Our last update in March seems so long ago as our world has changed in many ways. However, we are happy to say that getting Tommy the standing wheelchair prior to the pandemic and associated shut down has been a tremendous blessing! With Tommy's physical therapy location closed down for most of this year because of the pandemic, the ability to stand in his wheel chair and stay upright for longer period of times while he is in his apartment has truly been life-saving and we have all of you supporters to thank for that.
As Thanksgiving weekend comes upon us we would have been looking forward to the 5th Annual Tommy Turkey Bowl next Saturday. Unfortunately that is not going to be able to happen this year. Tommy is really going to miss seeing all of you and enjoying each other's company as we have since the first year in 2016. We are hoping to be able to reschedule this year's event until Spring time 2021. More to come on that as we get into the new year
We'd like to wish all of you a Happy and safe Thanksgiving and want to let you know we continue to appreciate all your support and prayers. #webelieve
We wanted to get the message out of a big thanks and let everyone know Tommy got his new standing wheelchair and it's great!. This only happened because of all the support and prayers of you, Tommy's amazing communities of friends. A significant amount of the funds needed for this chair came from last years Tommy Turkey Bowl which is awesome. He is now able to use the palm of his hand to raise up the chair to bar table height while sitting and then all the way to a full standing position supported by the chair. The physical and emotional benefits of this chair are tremendous. Attached in the photo section is a picture of Tommy in his new chair. Thx all #webelieve
Wow!! Another amazing Tommy Turkey Bowl to remember. Once again we were blessed with beautiful weather and a great turnout with hundreds of family and friends coming out in support of Tommy. The day produced many fun, but competitive flag football games on Tommy's favorite Clarkstown South football field where he has great memories. It was then followed by a packed D&D's bar that afternoon and into the evening of eating, drinking and raising money to support Tommy. The day after Tommy said he had such a good time - got to talk to so many people and just enjoyed being outside in the fresh air for longer than he's been in a long time.
On behalf of Tommy we want to again thank everyone who supported Saturday as well as the support and prayers for him all year long. Special shout out to Lynn, Paul, Joe, Penni, Joanne, Theresa, Diane, John, Frankie, Ryan, Alyssa and Coach Mike who every year have worked hard to pull this great event together - thank - you're the best!! (sorry if I missed others) --- #webelieve

Amazing another year has passed since our last Tommy update. While we haven't posted here that doesn't mean Tommy hasn't had a lot of things happen the past year and as before some great things and other tough challenges to overcome. Tommy continues to get wonderful support from family and friends as well as quality care from his nurses and aides - a few of which he's become very close to given the amount of time they are together. While dramatic improvements haven't happened, Tommy continues to get stronger as he adjusts to a very different life than he planned. His experiences over the past 3+ years also make him stronger mentally as there isn't much that he hasn't had to deal with. We continue to look into any new developments in the spinal cord treatment field and while we haven't seen anything significant yet, we remain hopeful that day will come soon when there is something for Tommy. In the meantime, thank you all for your ongoing support, thoughts and prayers for Tommys #webelieve
An amazing day yesterday for the 3rd Annual Tommy Turkey Bowl at Clarkstown South HS followed by a great get together at D&D's in New City. The game featured 24 teams of Tommy's friends, family and supporters plus many more wonderful helpers and onlookers who braved the cold with smiles on their faces! Then all and many more came to D&D's for food and drink and continuous support for Tommy. The whole event gets better every year and thank God so does Tommy as he sees the love that so many have for him with their time, money and encouragement. Thank you everyone for your support and prayers #webelieve
A nice relaxing football Sunday with no pressure of a Panther game today :).

Thought it was a good time to update Tommy's Help Hope Live network of family and friends on how he's doing. It's still hard to believe that one brief moment so tragically changed Tommy's life. Some days it feels like it just happened and many others make it feel like it's gone on way too long. Over the past year Tommy was able to move to a condo which makes it much easier for him to get around than the old farmhouse he was in and the outdoor area is much brighter which is a real lift to Tommy's spirits. Tommy still struggles with various infections and day to day challenges of living with a SCI and a good night's sleep is often hard to come by. He continues to go to physical therapy and while the progress of additional movement in his upper body has slowed, Tommy continues to work at it as hard as he can. While Tommy has very tough days, throughout it all he still has an amazing way of making everyone around him feel better about his situation. We continue to monitor the medical world for any new advancements which would improve Tommy's life and know that his friends and family are doing the same. As the holidays approach we want to thank all for your continued support and prayers and wish you a blessed holiday season with your families #webelieve
Awesome day yesterday at the 2nd annual Tommy Turkey Bowl at Clarkstown South. The support for Tommy from friends and family was amazing. Tommy was able to enjoy the day from beginning to end, including post game fun at Lexington Grill. So many people to thank, but special shout outs to Alyssa, Frankie, Ryan, Lynn, Penni, Joe, Joanne, Diane, Theresa, Anna and the McGuire Bake Sale girls who worked hard all day long. We feel very blessed to have all of you. #webelieve - uploaded a photo of Tommy and his crew.
As we get close to the holiday season we thought it would be good to give a Tommy update. Overall it's been a healthy few months for Tommy with continued hard work in therapy to improve upper body movement. Tommy's support network of friends, family and nurses continue to help try and make this new life for Tommy the best it can be. Even his Panthers are doing their part this year with a decent season :) . Thanks to all for your ongoing support and prayers #webelieve
Monumental day today for Tommy as he had the trache tube removed at Helen Hayes and is now officially off the vent! We're all really excited about this as it been a tough 10+ months. This has been Tommy's goal for a long time and reaching it today made him feel really good. Now he continues on to more improvements with therapy. Thanks to all for your never ending support and prayers. See Tommy's trache-free photo in the album. #webelieve
Finishing another week of highs and lows for Tommy. The week started out with real progress in OT/PT but then went bad with an emergency trip to Nyack hospital for 3 days with a UTI. However as usual Tommy bounced back and was great at an amazing fundraiser last night put on by Lori's friend Carrie. Over 200 people came out in support of Tommy. We are so overwhelmed and appreciative of all the continued support of family and friends. Thanks again to all #webelieve
Tommy has started a new phase now with visits back to Helen Hayes for outpatient therapy. It's a place he's comfortable with so we look forward to progress with both OT and PT twice a week. He still continues to adjust to living with the everyday challenges but feels the love and support of all around him. The latest show of support is with a book put together by our neighbor Jack. It's a very nice tribute to Tommy and source of therapy for all who use it. It can be found on Amazon at http://amzn.to/2kuweli Thanks to all #webelieve
Update on Tommy - Settling into a bit of a routine with the new nursing agency who have really helped stabilize a rough start at home. Tommy working very hard with Johnny and therapists, showing some good progress but not without a lot of pain. Breathing continues to stengthen. Family and friends remain amazingly supportive. We appreciate the ongoing support and prayers. #webelieve
On behalf of Tommy and his family we want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. While 2016 brought the horrible accident and all the extremely difficult challenges that came with it, Tommy did see the love and support for him from so many people which is greatly appreciated. At home now a couple months, Tommy continues to try and make the best of his situation. Each day seems to bring a mix of good and bad, but Tommy keeps pushing through and always makes everyone around him feel better. Hope and prayers for an amazing 2017. #webelieve
This week Tommy was able to have his first experience out of the house by going to the movies in Nanuet for a few hours which really felt good. Despite the ongoing challenges Tommy continues to show improvement in arm strength as he works hard with PT in training Johnny. He was even able to show that improvement in a pic with Big Joe (attached). Thanks for all your continued support and prayers #webelieve
This past week marked a month since Tommy came home from HH. While there are still a number of challenges to work out with his care, Tommy continues to make the best of a very difficult situation. He goes the entire day breathing on his own and is focused on improving the strength in his arms. Now with his buddy John working with him we're excited about the possibilities. His amazing support network of friends and family continues... thanks to all. #webelieve
Wow! Just an amazing event put on for Tommy on Saturday. 25 teams with over 250 kids, some older than others :) and another 150+ in attendance. All to show their support for Tommy. There was so many people who helped pull it together and we appreciate it so much. Special thanks to Frankie and Alyssa who came up with the idea and led the way knowing Tommy's love of football and also Lynn, Joe and Penny who continue to be at the center of everything. Thanks to all. #webelieve
Happy Thanksgiving to all. Tommy looking forward to a nice holiday weekend. His Grandma Madeline is up and his brother Andrew is home from college which makes him happy. Also looking forward to Saturday's Flag Football event in his honor at his old stomping grounds Clarkstown South HS. It starts at 10:00 for anyone who doesn't know about it and wants to come but based on reports it sounds like most of Clarkstown will be there! Thanks everyone for your ongoing amazing support. #webelieve
Tomorrow will be two weeks that Tommy is home and he's starting to settle in. While he really misses many of his HH friends, he's very happy to be in his own home surrounded by his family and friends. Still have things to workout with the in-home care but Tommy has kept his positive outlook and big smile. Had a special treat Saturday night with a crew of 12+ over for UFC fight night! First road trip to doctor today went well too. Thanks to all for your continued support and prayers. #webelieve
131 days after being admitted to Helen Hayes Rehab, Tommy was discharged yesterday to go home! Words can't express what the experience has been and we won't attempt to name all the people who've supported Tommy. However as this part of Tommy's journey ends and the next one begins we want to express our heartfelt thanks to all. Whether you were one of the many people who visited Tommy or part of his worldwide support network your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. Only God knows the plan for Tommy's life, but what we do know is the continued support of family and friends will always be there. Thanks to all. God Bless. #WEBELIEVE
Tommy finished his last full week at HH with everything on track for next Tuesday's discharge. He continues to do well with his breathing, spending his days off the vent. Still working hard in therapy to get stronger with his upper body movement. Happy that his Panthers finally got back on the winning track. We appreciate all keeping the thoughts and prayers going for this big week ahead #webelieve
Tommy continuing to do well in rehab and the countdown to leaving has officially begun! If all continues well Tommy will be going home on Nov 1st. Lots of coordination to do and continued improvement needed so please keep all in your prayers. Tommy was able to get back to the HH salon today to trim up the hair and furry beard so he's ready - solid before and after photo posted compliments of Ryan L.
Another positive week in rehab for Tommy. Continues to breath more on his own by staying off the vent during the day. Looking to continue to extend that time throughout the night. Therapy sessions are slow and steady too with increaseed shoulder and arm movement which is very encouraging. Tommy's friends continue their incredible support by truly being there for him which is greatly appreciated. Please keep the thoughts and prayers going. #webelieve
Overall a good week for Tommy. Really improving his breathing by staying off the vent for longer periods of time which is very encouraging. Continuing to work hard in his therapy sessions and seeing some real positive signs. Focused now on continuing to improve so he can move on to the next stage of rehab. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers #webelieve
Even though Tommy's Panthers continue to let him down, except his main man the Big O, he keeps pushing forward! Progress with his breathing and moving off the ventilator continues as he is spending more time breathing on his own. His HH therapists Sarah, Francesca and Kate continue to be great in helping him improve too. Thanks to all for your continued support and prayers #webelieve
Really good week for Tommy as he continues to get stronger. He's making good progress with his breathing by staying off the ventilator for longer periods of time and continuing to work hard in therapy to get more movement in his arms. Attitude remains upbeat and positive which is really being helped by knowing all the people who care so much for him. Thanks for your ongoing prayers and support. #webelieve
Another few strong days for Tommy as he continues to make progress in therapy. His appetite is also getting better with great meals from some of our closest friends and family. Thanks to all for your continued support and prayers. #webelieve.
Good few days for Tommy, including an uneventful trip back to Good Sam Hospital to insert a PIC line where Tommy was a champ. HH remaining conservative on the respitory treatment but Tommy still progressing nicely and working hard in his other therapy sessions. Need to keep the positive momentum going. #webelieve
Tommy had a pretty uneventful weekend and other than a down football day Sunday continued to progress. Looking forward to a positive week ahead and getting stronger all around. Thanks to all for your continued support and prayers #webelieve
Good finish to a really positive week for Tommy, considering some of our previous weeks. He's settling in nicely to his routine again and seeing progress on all fronts - PT, OT, Speech and Respiratory. Continuing to bring smiles and laughs to all his HH help is great to see too. Looking forward to a weekend of football and friends. Thanks to all for your continued support and prayers - #webelieve
Another good day for Tommy as he starts to get back into a routine. HH being a little conservative in therapy sessions but progress is being made in all areas. Today's big moment was Tommy finally got his long awaited haircut and even a beard and moustache trimming! After the salon appt he got to go outside for some fresh air which was great - pictures posted. Thanks to all for your continued support. #webelieve
Very encouraging day today for Tommy as he had some really good movement in his right arm. Working with the therapists he's focused on getting his upper arms stronger which is great. Still taking it slow on the breathing and fighting through an infection but a great attitude toward Improvement. Keep the positive thoughts and prayers going. #webelieve
Pretty good weekend for Tommy highlighted by a big win by his Panthers. He had the weekend off from therapy and was able to catch up on his rest but also have friends come visit and watch football with him. Looking forward to a good week ahead and continued progress. #webelieve
Continued improvement for Tommy to finish out the week. Still taking it slow with the ventilator but getting stronger everyday. Doing his best to eat healthier too as he's focused on feeling better. Thanks to all for your continued thoughts and prayers, it really means a lot to all of us. #webelieve
Tommy continues his recovery from the setback and is feeling better everyday. He's anxious to get off the ventilator but under doctor's orders taking it slow for now. He's also starting to get more energy for PT and OT so we're expecting that progress to continue. The one thing which hasn't changed is he puts a smile on the face of everyone who comes in his room. #webelieve
Good weekend for Tommy at HH as he tries to get back on track after getting knocked backward the past few weeks. He's slowly getting his energy back and worked hard in therapy today. Was also happy to see a few of his friends, his uncle mark, his grandma Madeline and even a FaceTime call from the Big O! Need to keep the progress going! #webelieve
Tommy put to the test again as he had to be transferred back to Westchester yesterday for a cat scan on his stomach and other tests. Good news was that they didn't see anything wrong. Bad news was he had to endure a miserable 9 hours in the ER topped off by a tough loss by his Panthers. But as we've seen from Tommy many times he bounced back today as he returned to his friends at HH. We now need to keep moving forward!#webelieve
After a few very tough days at HH, Tommy felt much better today, which is a big relief. He greeted all with his great smile this morning after getting a good night sleep and was more active with therapy. He still has stomach issues which need to improve and has to build up the energy that was wiped out with the pneumonia so keep the good thoughts and prayers going. #webelieve
Tommy's back at HH but really not feeling well. He's still fighting infections in his body, which are causing lots of discomfort. Hopefully with rest and the medicine kicking in better, he can begin to get back to his old self. He's not up for visitors yet, but hopefully soon. #webelieve
He's back!! After two very difficult weeks away Tommy's back at Helen Hayes. Really had a scare with a number of different issues, but Tommy was unbelievable through it all - making him the trauma ICU's favorite patient (that's what they told him!) . The transfer back to HH was exhausting too, but being happily greeted by all the staff was really nice. He's still pretty weak and setback with the breathing, so he needs to take it easy the next few days. Thanks again for all the love and support. #webelieve
Still a tough go for Tommy at WMC but he's improving. The pneumonia is clearing up and the fever is staying down, but a couple other issues still need to be addresssed . He's been able to do some PT but that's not WMC's speciality so most of the therapy will start up when he's back at HH. He's also looking forward to getting his taste buds back as nothing tastes good right now. Thanks again for all the support and prayers. Will update again when he's back at HH - hopefully in the next day or two. #webelieve
Tommy doing pretty good now at WMC but really wanting to leave and get back to HH. Still needs to show consistent breathing progress and keep his fever down - all signs the pneumonia clearing up. Also he's determined puréed French toast is awful!#webelieve
Tommy continues to improve at WMC. Progress is slow but definitely better than early in the week. Still on the vent but in typical Tommy fashion was able to convince the doctors to let him drink water - which he hasn't been able to do - which helps the situation a lot. He was also able to pick his fantasy football team last night while online with his friends. Everyone who knows Tommy knows who his first pick was! Still pushing forward and he appreciates all the love and support. #webelieve
Tommy's improving but the pneumonia is still making breathing difficult. Unfortunately the shoulder pain persists too. He's getting pretty good rest although plenty of interruptions in a trauma icu. He's had some good conversations with his mom and dad and continues to show tremendous courage. While he really misses seeing all his friends and family, he's not up for visitors yet. Hopefully he can get back to the familiar surroundings at HH soon. We all appreciate your thoughts and prayers. #webelieve
Tommy's pneumonia is slowly improving with the medications he's getting and time. While he's still pretty out of it he does know where he is and is responding to questions. The doctors expect him to be at WMC for at least a week. Not much more to report other than keep the thoughts and prayers for Tommy's recovery going as they're all needed. #webelieve
Been a rough few days for Tommy and us. He contracted a bad case of pnemonia which required him to be transferred to Good Samaritan Hospital. After spending a day there they determined he'd be better suited at Westchester Medical Center so he was transferred there today where they are starting to treat him. Right now they have him heavily sedated so the vent can breathe for him and the antibiotics can start working. Definitely a setback but we hope and pray it's just that and Tommy will come back strong again. No visitors yet but keep your thoughts and prayers coming #webelieve
A little setback with the breathing last night for Tommy but seemed to be better today and hopefully will be okay through the night. Still working hard at therapy and making progress. Best news of the day was another room move. This time he gets a window back and more space for his friends - like the old spot. #webelieve
Better day today for Tommy after a good night sleep. The best part was that he was able to keep just the red plug in which has him one step closer to removing the trache. He also worked hard in therapy pushing himself on a few of the machines. Slow and steady ....#webelieve
Kind of a rough day for Tommy but not surprising for a Monday. Looking forward to a better day tomorrow after a good rest tonite. #webelieve
Today was a really good day for Tommy as he had a lot of family and friends visit him at HH and he was in great spirits (except for seeing Uncle Mark's Red Sox shirt!). It was also the day of the charity baseball / softball game. It was awesome to see how many people came out in support of Tommy. There were so many people who worked really hard to pull it together and then braved the intense heat to keep it going. Special thanks to Lynn Munroe, JoAnn Lent and Big Joe Taccetta for their extra efforts to make sure the day was a success. One really good pic posted to this site of some great friends. #webelieve
Quiet day for Tommy today. Had a number of friends and family come and visit which he always enjoys. Also seeing the Yanks get another win is a bonus. #webelieve
Tommy finished off a tough week on a strong note. Continued to work hard in therapy sessions. Continued progress with the breathing with the red plug and as always continued great attitude. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Thanks to all for your support #webelieve
Pretty uneventful day today for Tommy which is good. He continues to work hard in his therapy sessions and keeps his positive attitude. As always he likes when his friends come by to visit later in the day. Thanks to all both near and far for your continued support and prayers. #webelieve
Better day today for Tommy as he was able to get good rest after Monday night's fiasco. He did well in his therapy sessions - always seem to be good when he has his regular therapists - Francesca, Sara and Kristin and Russ on respitory - Helen Hayes best! #webelieve
Very tough night for Tommy that sent him to Nyack Hospital until 5:30 in the morning to deal with a catheter issue. He slept in this morning and recovered enough to push through his afternoon therapy sessions. He finished the day with a banana spilt that he really enjoyed. Tommy continues to amaze with his attitude toward the hurdles put in front of him and always seems to put a smile on the faces of people around him. #webelieve
Unfortunately Tommy got hit with another UTI and his neck pain continues which explains a bit why he was wiped out yesterday. However, he didn't let that stop him in his therapy efforts as he continued his progress there. We need to keep praying for good health as Tommy works on his rehab. #webelieve
All the weekly activity and change in breathing caught up with Tommy today as he was very tired and slept a lot of the day. We're hoping this extra rest will give him the energy needed to begin the week strong tomorrow. #webelieve
Relaxing day for Tommy with no weekend therapy sessions but he did keep pushing himself with breathing exercises to keep the progress going. Tommy is happy to have his friends visit and very appreciative of their support to pass the time at HH. #webelieve
TGIF for Tommy. Finished off a solid week of progress with very good results on weening off the ventilator and getting outside for the first time since the accident. Looking forward to a restful weekend and seeing some good friends. #webelieve
Good day today for Tommy as he keeps working hard in all his therepy sessions and does his best to get use to being in a smaller shared room. Looking forward to Friday and the weekend. #webelieve
Big day today for Tommy as he continued off the vent with no issue and began using the "red plug" which is the last step to completely breathing normally on his own. Most likely will take a few more weeks but he's defying odds which is awesome. Also today was the first day in 53 days Tommy was able to go outside for therapy. It wasn't for long but progress. Thanks for all your continued support and prayers #webelieve
Eventful day today for Tommy. Last night marked the first night he went through the night without being on the vent so very encouraging sign of his progress of improved breathing. Today was also the day they moved him out of his private room into his old room with a roommate. Not great as it limits the amount of space for the visitors he loves, but like everything else Tommy took it in stride and kept his positive attitude. #webelieve
Back to therapy sessions today for Tommy, but first day in a while he was able to leave his room which he was very happy to do. Starting to learn how to drive his wheelchair with his head / neck. Continued improvement with his breathing. Thanks to all for your continued support. #webelieve
Enjoyable day today for Tommy as he was able to see some of his good friends he hasn't seen in a while. Having them in the room watching TV and having a few laughs is good medicine for Tommy. Looking forward to a good week ahead. #webelieve
Well needed rest from his therapy sessions today for Tommy. Very happy to not see the HH help or his visitors with masks on either. Looking forward to good days ahead. #webelieve.
Tommy finished out the week strong with his efforts in his therapy sessions. He also finished the quarantine period which everyone is happy about. He's looking forward to seeing many of his friends and family again as well as getting out of his room. He does need to make sure he continues to get enough rest and stay healthy so let's be mindful as we visit him. #webelieve
Tommy had another good day in his therapy with OT and PT, but it also brings aches and pains that he has to deal with. He continues to keep up his great attitude and is looking forward to the weekend. Thanks all for your continued support and prayers #webelieve
Good day for Tommy today. Continues to work hard at therapy and showing improvements on all fronts - slow and steady is the norm. Also made his Dad's day by sporting the vintage Albany Great Danes practice jersey for the bday (photo uploaded) Dad loves you. #webelieve.
Another good day today for Tommy with his therapy sessions. He continues to push himself. Still have some limits on the breathing because of the pneumonia but he feels pretty good. Definitely the right attitude continues with all his HH help. #webelieve
Good day today for Tommy as the week of therapy kicked off. Progress in each of the sessions but they do take a lot out of him. Tommy continues his positive attitude and really appreciates everyone's ongoing support. #webelieve
Quiet Sunday for Tommy. Tough morning with the breathing as he was very congested but got better as the day went on. Did enjoy seeing the Yanks get another W though. #webelieve
Well Saturdays are rest days at HH and that was what Tommy did today. After a hard week of therapy he felt the pains last night and rested today. Was in his usual good spirits though when he was awake and is really looking forward to the end of the month when he gets to see all his friends and family again. #webelieve
TGIF - Tommy finished off the week with his best therapy sessions yet. Not sure if it was the Drake tunes playing during OT, the Game of Thrones episode during Speech Therapy or the Superman shirt he had on but he did really well today. Thanks to all for your continued support and prayers #webelieve
A mixed day today for Tommy as he worked really hard in the morning therapy sessions and showed some real improvement in his upper body strength however he's still short on endurance so was pretty wiped out in the afternoon. The doctors and therapists remain encouraged by his progress. #webelieve
On another note we wanted to let everyone know that another event is being planned to benefit Tommy. The event is a celebrity softball game at Boulders Stadium in Pomona, NY on August 14th. There will be athletes from the Giants and Yankees playing, music, and a Boulders game against Quebec after that. Tickets can be purchased in person at Signarama 27 N Middletown Rd, Nanuet NY, Joanne - 845-507-0101 or on-line at http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase?pid=8201377&agency=ROCK_PLAGENCY Thanks again for all of your support
Pretty good day today for Tommy but did get a bit tired with the multiple back to back therapy sessions - hump day will do that. As always Tommy kept up his great attitude and courtesy to all the HH people. #webelieve
As usual when Tommy has a tough day or two he battles back and he did so again today. He said he felt much better as the nausea and headache from the infection seemed to be gone and he got his appetite back. Continued to work hard in all his therapy sessions and even let me take a photo of him with his beloved Panthers hat on (uploaded).#webelieve
Tough day for Tommy today as a urinary infection caused a fever and discomfort. We're hoping the antibiotics will kick in quickly and make this issue go away in the next day or so. Tommy continues to take setbacks in stride and push thru though. Really pretty amazing. We know he feels the love of everyone around him. #webelieve.
Another light day for Tommy as he rested for much of the day. Ongoing neck and shoulder pain as well as some trouble with the breathing off the vent so not the best day. Tommy has determined that his pain threshold has increased - a real trooper. On a lighter note after mixed reviews of the stache (Tommy was not a fan) it has been removed - at least for now.... #webelieve
Quiet day for Tommy today as the weekends tend to be at HH. Even though he didn't have therapy many of the therapists who are working with other patients stop in to say hello to their favorite patient, which is really nice. He's really making a lot of friends. #webelieve
Much better day today for Tommy than yesterday. The intense pain in his shoulders subsided a bit - could've been the increase in meds but he'll take it. Continues to increase the amount of time off the vent as well as improved upper body motion with the OT. The hit of the day was his new look mustache - although he said it won't be around for long (photo will be uploaded if you want a look) #webelieve.
Well since yesterday was such a good day for Tommy with therapy and breathing he was in a lot of pain today. He's working muscles that have been weakened by the accident so the dr's say he's going to have these days. He did feel a bit better later in the day as the medication kicked in. Looking for a better day tomorrow. #webelieve
Tommy had a strong day today with regard to his breathing which is very encouraging. He was also able to stay in his wheelchair for a longer period of time which has been difficult in the past. While he really misses seeing all his friends and family, he continues to have a positive attitude and looks forward to seeing everyone again soon.
Thanks to all for your generosity.
Tiring but progressive day for Tommy as he worked real hard in his therapy sessions and made some good improvements. He's kept up his great attitude and is focused on getting better #webelieve
Back to therapy today. Tommy is working really hard despite the ongoing challenges. Continued focus on improving his breathing and shoulder / arm strength while fighting through the pain. I know you all would be so proud of him. #webelieve
Kind of a quiet day for Tommy today as the weekends are supposed to be with no therapy sessions. Did catch another Yankee victory and the Euro Cup game. Will try to push himself in therapy tomorrow and look for improvements. #webelieve
Better day today for Tommy as he gets use to his new surroundings and also got a day off from therapy. Still discomfort in his body but a pretty healthy appetite and some good Yankee baseball kept the day moving along. Tommy knows and appreciates all the love that is out there for him. #webelieve
Not a good day for Tommy today as his neck and shoulders were in real pain along with a number of issues out of his control that made it rough on him. Hopefully a restful night and a new day tomorrow will improve things. #webelieve
Well we got a curve ball thrown out us that we're now adjusting to. Tommy was exposed to a visitor who had symptoms of the mumps so as precaution the hospital as directed by the Board of Health has quarantined Tommy to a private room and restricted vistors for a while (most likely the end of the month). Obviously a tough one considering all the great support and distractions friends and family have provided, but we'll get through it. Tommy has no choice now but to focus on improving his physical health with therapy and seeing his mom and dad a lot more with masks on. Keep the faith. #webelieve
Tough day for Tommy today as his body tried to get used to the new tube in the trache. Unfortunately it sapped a lot of his energy which made therapy difficult. However he did push through with the OT and showed some nice improvements in arm movement. Tomorrow's another day. #webelieve
Back to work for Tommy today as HH therapy was in full force. Two big happenings today for Tommy. The first is they reduced the size of the tube which is used for the trache, requires him to breathe more on his own - the first step toward moving off the vent. The second big event was Trevor showing up with an officially signed Cam Newton Panthers helmet (see photo of the boys) that really lifted Tommy's spirits after a tough day. Thanks to all for your continued support. It's greatly appreciated. #webelieve
Tommy had a pretty good 4th of July as HH was relatively quiet today. As usual he had a nice mix of family and friends visiting with food, drink and movies. Tommy did say he really needed to rest on the weekend from a busy week of therapy but was preparing to work hard this coming week. His positive attitude toward getting better continues as he is encouraged by all the support from his family and friends. #webelieve
Good day today for Tommy. Pretty light on the therapy for the weekend. The big excitement for Tommy today was hearing about the great support from his friends who ran and participated in the dodgeball tournament. We are all so appreciative and overwhelmed with the amount of support from the community - truly a sign of love and inspiration for Tommy. Thanks to all - #webelieve
Tommy got some rest today from therapy because of the weekend although he did continue to improve his breathing by being off the vent for 4+ hours - which is very encouraging. It was nice to have him greet his Dad and Uncle Mike with an old school Albany basketball tanktop this morning (see photo). Also very nice to hear Tommy talking South football with Coach Scarpelli. Looking for continued progress and ongoing prayer. #webelieve
Today we saw some good progress with the OT working with Tommy on his arms. He definitely showed improved strength in his biceps moving his arms back and forth. Thank God. He's still working on his breathing and pushing himself to improve. The shoulder out of whack continues to be painful but hopefully will improve sooner than later. A little sushi for dinner tonight was a much better choice than the HH selection. We are very appreciative of all the ongoing love and support. #Webelieve

Good day for Tommy today. The morning was a little tough with a lot of therapy work, but the big milestone was getting to leave his room for the first time for physical therapy. We're looking forward to that continuing as HH has a great facility. Tommy also got to start using the technology that moves the wheelchair up and down. More to come soon. The rest of the day was filled with some visits and plenty of Seinfeld reruns thanks to Johnny's purchase of the complete box set. Thanks to all for your continued support. It's awesome for Tommy. #webelieve
Slow and steady progress for Tommy continues. He's getting great attention from all at HH and they are working him hard. Really focused on improving the breathing and it's going well. A nice treat of Chilli's to go for dinner tonight which Tommy always likes. The ongoing support from family and friends in person and online is greatly appreciated by all of us. #webelieve

Missed you at marks yesterday! It was hilarious to watch Mark and Ryan's changing emotions from first quarter to fourth. I'm surprised the floor didn't cave in, or that Mark didn't break anything with all the running and jumping. Could have used a little Knicks fan backup this weekend...Mark was relentless. Always happy to see the positive updates!

Did you see Brady Light it up again yesterday? 780 yards in two games with zero INT's.. GRONK got on track as well ! I know its killing Joe Tacetta as He lost my number! Sorry about the panthers tough loss but CAM delivered 31 points for me! The Knicks opener is right around the corner! Keep up the strong efforts down there and I'll see you soon!

Tune in 1 PM on Sunday to see the Birds take down the Skins and take over first place in the NFC East. E-A-G-L-E-S. Eagles!! Lots of love.

also, do not, I repeat, do not count out the Sox; let me remind you...... 2004!!

Aunt Peg
Hey Tommie, time for another Grampa Softie input ? Maybe .Besides daily prayers, my thoughts about you are almost constant--so here's the latest .As an accomplished QB, you must clearly remember getting sacked just when you had your team moving forward . That was what you recall as a setback. .You have just had another one which calls for the same kind of reaction as the sack . Rethinking what happened-- how to avoid this occurring again --what changes need to be made to reverse this setback ?Surely we don't call the same play --we make some adjustments .I've made my point! In your medical situation ,I'm going to suggest a refocus on the primary goal of your days ahead --and that primary goal is Maximum Recovery .Of course this goal demands your return to the continuous hard work of your daily therapies which you have done so well . But let me also suggest that you reduce some of the distractions that create unnecessary exhaustion on your body and mind -such as too many visitors or too long visitations, too much TV or DVDs . Although these things provide some comforts and pleasantries , you've got to recognize that they sometimes take away from your primary goal. . Don't get mad at me Tom if these thoughts don't appeal to you ,but at least think about the adjustments req'd after a nasty sack . As always ,my love is with you 24/7 and I'll see you as soon as I can [but I won't stay too long ] much love Grampa Softie

TJ my man, Just getting around to commenting on the Panthers vs Patriots friday night! the final score much closer than the contest I might add! As you could see Brady will be more than ready! CAM looked a little rattled by our defense! Maybe a preview of the super bowl. Anyhow, hope you doing better these days. I'll see you back at HH soon.

TJ my man,
It was great to see you today; you're really an inspiration with your efforts each day.. Glad I could muscle into the room amongst the crowd of co-eds there to see you. It was awesome to see the support for you and your family at the ballpark. Speaking of ballpark, did u see what happened at FENWAY? 3 HR's by Betts and we put up 16; YANKS couldnt handle the RAYS and lost by a touchdown and a FG!
Tell Big JOE he did a great job today and I actually felt sorry him when I saw the score! Keep up the work and I'll be back soon with my PATS lid on!
Uncle Mark
Tommy, you looked great yesterday in your Jasper Green shirt. Keep working hard on your therapy and I'll be back before week 1, for that motivational quote- "Vikings have to get the Cup1" Nice seeing you yesterday. #7webelieve
Coach Scarpelli
Hey Tommy, when I look back over the last 8 weeks or so ,for the silver lining, the upsides , the positives in what you have been thru , I pinpoint your initial successful neck surgery, your determination to overcome the necessity of the ventilator, your hard work at therapy sessions and maybe the overwhelming response and concern for you that you have generated by your presence and your attitude .Tommy ,you have got more people praying for you than I have ever heard of before . Some people who maybe haven't prayed in a long time are keeping you in their daily thoughts and prayers . This is truly incredible and we have all grown closer to God and each other because of your most unfortunate accident .These results are indeed the silver lining that has come from the way in which you have coped with your misfortune. The future will surely bring more positives , more victories for all of us who care so much for you. Thanks Tom for bringing out the best in so many and needless to say 'keep on poundin'. See ya soon , love Grampa Softie
Grampa Tom
Hi Tommy,

Just a grama reminder. Love me

Hey Tommy--is it time for a note from Grampa Softie ??Maybe-- feels like it's about halftime about now and you as a highly successful QB know that leadership to victory over your current challenge depends heavily on you , the QB.Let's say the score is tied after some good 1st half progress. Your fans have showed up by the thousands and are cheering loudly for a big upset victory .Clearly you need to come up with some surprising plays to pull out this victory .Can we expect you to put in even more mental and physical efforts to win the big one ?? You've done it before so yes we do plan on a victory celebration for all of us down the road . We know you can do it so we'll continue to provide the spiritual support you need and we'll bank on you to do the rest . Make sense??Let's Go, Tommy much love Grampa Softee

Hi Tommy. I believe in miracles - and you are proof! Your Aunt Teresa and I are friends and neighbors for 20+years - our kids went to school together K-12 and also attend OLPH Church. You, and your entire family, have been in my prayers since Teresa told me on June 12. I am encouraged to hear of your hard work and certainly believe it will pay off in ways that we don't understand yet. Keep the faith, Tommy, and know that there are many many prayers lifting you up every moment of your journey. And so,
May you have:
A world of wishes at your command.
God and his angels close to hand.
Friends and family their love impart,
and Irish blessings in your heart!
God bless you always

Hey Tommy--time for a quick note. Sorry about the restriction setback last week -delays our visit but hopefully provides you with more rest and strength for your workouts. Something like getting sacked on 1st down but knowing you.,the next play will be a gainer... When I see that "we believe" hashtag on so many of your fans notes , I recognize that that not only expresses belief that God will keep His eyes on you and help , but also that your fans believe in you and your determined efforts to achieve maximum recovery in this challenging situation. That kind of confidence in you has got to help in your daily workouts even when the aches and pains set in .Many of us remember seeing you get back up and charge ahead even after a painful sack .God is surely on your side ,so we'll see you downfield with such teamwork .Much love Tom,Grampa Softie

Xo, Penni
Hey Tommy--so many fans of yours are sending thoughts and prayers your way . It's very impressive . My thoughts down the road for you put your career somewhere in the sports world .No you have not been drafted by the NFL or the NBA [ they continue to overlook me ,your dad Uncles etc] . So I'm picturing sports reporting, announcing, perhaps a little coaching . You've got the skills and interest to do well in these arenas .But of course these potentials will take hard work to achieve from where you're at right now. Sometimes having a specific goal makes that hard work a little easier .Just a thought as I say my prayers for you today . You've got the right stuff. See ya Sat.,much love Grampa Softie
Grampa Tom
Tommy,
Glad you are progressing so well and have so much support. I ask dad regularly about how you are doing and sent him some information on a local college football player who had a similar injury. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Tommy~
I learned of this website today and thought you might like to know that you are thought of in Buffalo NY.
Reading about your progress is enlightening and I will look forward to coming back for more.
Many of our branch of the McGuire tree were together this holiday weekend and there is so much care and concern about you from your distant cousins!
Your grandparents are very special to me.
I can appreciate how meaningful it is belonging to a large family - both yours and my own.
I wish for you patience; trust; and a sense of humor when needed. Please know you are thought of very often with love.

Love Aunt Mares
Hey Tommy! I just wanted to share some advice with you, and that is to continue to make Uncle Tom and others go on crazy food hunts for you. If I've learned anything it's that in a situation like your own, you must focus on the things you can control, for instance the food that you eat. It may seem small but for myself it was a huge part of keeping a positive attitude, which is key for getting better. I think about you everyday and I continue to pray... And obviously the prayers and your perseverance are working. Now that graduation and orientation are over with I plan on finding time to make it down there... Nothing made me happier than visitors! Always praying!
Regina McGuire
I don't take credit for this quote, but I liked its message. "What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly."
~ Richard Bach from 'Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah'. I looked for the text of the book online and found it in PDF form. This was the first time I had read any of it, but got great amazement from reading just the parable of the auto mechanic become Messiah in the beginning. It's not long and you might want to read the rest of the book after you read it. If you're lucky, someone may offer to read it to you. Accept the gift. http://www3.cs.stonybrook.edu/~ppenumarthi/illusions.pdf Make the most of the day! I wonder what 'most' really means.

Tommy,
Kelly and I wanted to share with you the story about Devon Gales, who was injured playing football against UGA. He initially had no feeling from his chest down but has since regained the use of his arms and some feeling in his legs. Here is a link http://www.redandblack.com/sports/devon-gales-reaches-a-milestone-in-recovery-from-spinal-injury/article_594f4e5a-1f07-11e6-b131-cb571d564e24.html.

Good morning Tommy - l'm weepy getting Lauren off to college but your good news yesterday filled my heart and made me excited. Thank you for being so strong ❤️
Penni
Tommy, a note of support from your cousin Matthew in Japan. I broke my T10-11-12 and had a major spinal cord injury myself about 5 years back, I know how tough it is. After 11 hours of surgery, I spent every day for 6 months in rehab. The smallest of tasks seemed so hard, but every day I improved just a little. After a while it added up to a nearly full recovery. Anything is possible...don't give up trying. All the best from all of us here in Tokyo, Kai, Ian, Hugh, Lee and Michi.
Matthew
Tommy it was great seeing you last night, and the Gang, many laughs. I will see you soon!
Coach Scarpelli
