Update on Tommy B.

Former US Navy SEAL Tom Bergerson was born in Minnesota and entered the US Navy at 17. He graduated BUDS class 36, served in Vietnam and worked as a Commercial Diver until the late 80s. After running a Landscaping business for a few years he went to sea again on Coastal tugs/push boats and retired about 10 years ago to the house he built on Utila, one of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras.

A few weeks ago Tom awoke in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in his back that quickly deteriorated into paralysis of his lower body. A local physician and friend were able to get him to the main island hospital for emergency surgery to remove a clot from his Spine. However, Tom remained paralyzed and became extremely depressed. The hospital was not able to provide any further care for Tom, and the rush was on to secure Air Transport to the United States for Care.

Tom's sister, Cathy, reached out to a fellow SEAL teammate of Tom's for help. Within hours of receiving the request for assistance, the Navy SEALs Fund was able to secure funding to get the Air Transport wheels up and in route to Tom. Within 24 hours, Tom arrived at the Hines VA Medical Center for Spinal Care in IL. A sincere Thank You to Isaac Leider of Vital One Air Ambulance for the amazing support and care for Tom.

Tom's family and friends are now able to visit with him, to provide the mental encouragement he will need in addition to excellent medical care to recover. However, Tom's condition has recently diminished and he is now in the ICU fighting a spreading infection along with worsening paralysis of his body.
