New Update on Tod:

He is declining fast. He needs all prayers to keep him comfortable intil his final breath. Kerri and Tatum are hanging in there but devastating. Pray for energy and encouragement to get them through these last stages and beyond.

They appreciate all prayers and support from everyone.

Update on Tod:

Tod is still at home, he is on hospice care. He will stay at the house hopefully for a couple of weeks before they need to move him to another facility that can keep him comfortable all the time.

He has started to decline more and more each day. He is slowing down on food and water. His vitals are low. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. The purpose of this GoFundMe is to help Tod and Kerri Fricke with medical and living expenses. As some of you may know, Tod was diagnosed 18 months ago with glioblastoma, an aggressive and fast growing brain tumor. During the last 18 months,

Tod has undergone six surgeries and been in and out of work due to the recovering period. This past September, Tod was rushed to the hospital due to losing motor functions and during the three week stay he had two surgeries during that time period.

He was released late September from the hospital as the doctors consulted the family by saying that they had exhausted all of their efforts and it was up to “God” and Tod if his body was going to keep it going! As hard as these past 18 months have been on the family, they have stayed amazingly positive through all of this. Just a couple of tidbits about Tod. Everyone that knows Tod, knows he’s very passionate about his family and his job! Tod has worked for Hobby Lobby for over 20 years and has been dedicated to being the best manager he could possibly be. Even during all of his surgeries, he’s always wanted to go back to work because he was so concerned about his employees and didn’t want them to carry his burden. He is one tough SOB and he loves his family with all of his heart and soul! He’s been fighting like crazy to stay on this earth! Tod is the epitome of what a father/husband is supposed to be, by being a supporter and leader of his family! He’s always been able to go back to work after the surgeries, but these last two surgeries were too much for his body and the cancer has started to affect Tod’s spine and organs and has left him unable to walk. Tod is now on hospice to help with pain and help make him comfortable.

Kerri and their son Tatum can no longer care for Tod, and they’ve made the extremely difficult decision to bring in hospice. As you can imagine, with all the medical expenses and with Tod not being able to work it has caused a huge financial strain on their family. Kerri can’t work full time due to her recovery and strain from her stage 3 Squiemish Cell Carcenoma removed and reconstructive surgery, with chemo and radiation 4 years ago.

So, we are trying to alleviate some of the stress that Tod and Kerri has endured by helping them financially by setting up this GoFundMe account to show them they are not alone! They have friends/family that care for them! Your prayers and donations of any amount will be truly appreciated by the family.
