Boston Tom

This weekend there is a benefit show for Boston Tom at Fuel. He was shot while trying to stop an armed robbery at Shantytown. That was June 16th and he’s been at Shands ever since. The show will feature 7 local act, plus tons of giveaway and raffles. There is a $20 suggested donation at the door, but just give what you can. All money goes to aid Tom’s recovery.

Here is a full update on Boston Tom’s current condition. Thanks to Cynthia Neal for providing the update!

Tom is now in Room 7032. This section could be called “ICU Light” and the move indicates that Tom is getting stronger. He is finally off the respirator and eating solid food. He still has the trach tube so they can give him additional treatments but he has been breathing completely on his own for the last couple of days. There is no word on exactly when he will be ready to leave Shands and move to rehab, but it’s getting closer. In addition Tom’s family has a great prospect for an apartment which is wheelchair-accessible, in Springfield.

Wish Tom a speedy recovery yourself by sending him a message through Shands online message center.
