Since my last post two weeks ago, my health has deteriorated further. I was not feeling well on July 15, so I went to the hospital where I received blood transfusions and antibiotics. After a bone marrow biopsy, the hematologist at Credit Valley diagnosed me with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), in addition to my existing diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). The prognosis is not good.
That being said, for the last 3 weeks, I have had a strong feeling that a miracle is due. My two main issues are the weakness in my lungs and the muscles lost due to ALS. I would like all my friends and relatives to pray fervently for this miracle to cure me. Join our family on Saturday, July 31st, offering these two intentions up to the Lord and adding whatever you like – mass, adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, rosary, chaplet or any other feature that you prefer. Thank you in advance for your participation.
While we appreciate all the love and concern from our friends and family, we ask that you please do not spontaneously visit or flood the phone with calls, as we are fielding many calls from healthcare and caregiver supports. We continue to feel the effect of your prayers and positive thoughts from all around the world, and reciprocate them with great love.
The Yorrickles 
Sending so many prayers for your entire family. Your posts are truly inspiring.
Lots of love to you, Yorrick.

Hello Yorrick, from Down Under. You should have been a writer. I know you had a full, full life and perhaps/therefore no time to write. But you should have been a writer, I repeat. The clear thoughts expressed, the crisp language, the perfect grammar, the turn of phrase (“let me catch you up” from the first post), the subtle humour that draws a chuckle …I could go on but, mate, you have the talent. You have so many talents but the one I like most is you are such a good human being. – Mario, Melbourne
