 The family of Eddie Turchin, an Eagle Scout who was diagnosed 10 years ago
with a malignant brain tumor, sent the following letter of Thanksgiving to The
Times Leader. Eddie has been in a Philadelphia hospital for several weeks; he
no longer is in a coma. Family members are hopeful he will be released from
the hospital by Christmas. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Editor: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Being thankful this year means giving thanks to Almighty God that our
18-year-old son, Eddie, in the past two months, has survived three major
surgeries (brain surgery and two abdominal), a blood clot, cardiac arrest and
pneumonia. He spent several weeks in a coma. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 We give thanks for the prayers, novenas and Masses being offered on Eddie's
and our behalf. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 We give thanks for the love and concern of our families and friends back
home -- for the countless trips to visit us here in Philadelphia, for the care
packages to make sure we are eating and comfortable. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 We give thanks for the fund raisers held on our behalf to help us with
living expenses the past eight weeks: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Students, teachers, parents and administrators at Lake-Lehman High School
worked side by side to serve between 400 and 500 dinners. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Hoagie sales and meat loaf dinners were held by various groups at our
parish, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Lake Silkworth. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Charlie Brown's, Plains, and Sans Souci Lounge held benefits. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Lehman UMY Fellowship contributed from its "Haunted House" project, Gate of
Heaven youth group sold candy bars and Kmart, Edwardsville, employees are
currently working on a fund raiser. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Lifelong friend Melvin Jones, Askam, arranged for tickets to be printed,
and Lake-Lehman Junior High held a dance. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 We give thanks for the hundreds of you who have sent cards and letters of
encouragement. We have read all Eddie's mail to him. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 We give thanks to the reporters who showed such sensitivity in the articles
they wrote in the newspapers back home. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 We give thanks to those of you who have contributed to the Eddie Turchin
Fund, bought or sold tickets, bought or sold candy bars, attended or helped
out at the benefits or helped us in any way -- we are very grateful to you. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Last, but by no means least, we give thanks to an outstanding humanitarian
from Lake-Lehman, Joseph "Red" Jones. Red was responsible for setting up the
Eddie Turchin Fund and has personally stood for six Saturdays selling candy
bars at stores or football games. His family was often by his side, also. He
has made several trips to Philadelphia to encourage Eddie. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Spending eight weeks (and still more weeks to go) at a hospital nearly
three hours away from home with one's seriously ill child is a very painful
and harrowing experience, but because of the love and concern and support
we've receive from you wonderful people back home, we feel we can meet any
challenge now and all along the road to Eddie's recovery and rehabilitation. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 During the coming holiday season, we ask that each of you take time to
rethink your priorities in life. Don't dwell on unimportant trivial matters.
Focus on your blessings, emphasize family. Above all, hug your children and
thank God every day for their good health and well-being. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 With our sincere gratitude, &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Bonnie, Ed, Pam and Eddie Turchin
