TRED BARTA IS IT TRUE????
« on: May 19, 2009, 07:59:00 PM »
Just saw on another site that Tred was injured & is paralyzed. I'm posting here for confirmation, because I consider the to be a very reputable site. I truly hope this IS NOT true, but Heaven forbi it is, I send prayers of hope/support for him & his family.- Dave Mullins.

Sadly it sounds like it's true, there are several sportfishing sites reporting it.  This doesn't sound good for Tred and we all need to be praying for his mental and physical recovery.

Here's the story from sportfishingmag.com:

Rare disorder leaves Tred Barta paralyzed
By Staff
Tue, May 19, 2009

On his way to Alaska to tape his TV show, Tred Barta recently suffered a rare occurrence called a spinal stroke. He is currently paralyzed from just below the chest down. Prognosis is way up in the air at the moment. His message to everyone is… "Don't take a single second of your life for granted." Send him best wishes at [email protected].

Yes it is, this was copyed from another site

Capt. Tred Barta Hospitalized May 19, 2009 On Monday, May 18th Tred suffered a rare occurrence called a spinal stroke.
"The stroke affecting his T2-T10 vertebrae. Since there are only 12 of these Thoracic bones, that´s a very large area. He is currently paralyzed from just below the chest down. Prognosis is way up in the air at the moment. Some medicos claim permanent paralysis while others have given him up to a 60-percent chance of at least partial recovery. His message to everyone is... "Don´t take a single second of your life for granted." This note came to us from our Board Member Dean Travis Clarke.

We ask you all too please send your thoughts and prayers out to Tred, Anni and the entire Barta Family. If anyone can overcome this diversity it will be Tred.

As most of you know, Tred is not computer savvy and we are sure he would appreciate Get Well Cards to keep his spirits up. Please mail to Tred Barta, P.O. Box 900, Eagle, CO 81631.

You can also post to this link below and Anni can show him your responses. Everyone involved with the Barta Boys and Girls Club Billfish Tournament and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina want to send out a big GET WELL SOON TRED.

As Tred wrote on our weigh in station board "Never Give Up, Never Say Never" we now say that to you Tred.

My thoughts are with him and hope he recovers!

Target archery is seeing how far away you can get and still hit the bull's eye. Bowhunting is seeing how close you can get and never miss your mark.

If such a malise has to happen, thank the Lord it happened to one of His own who is a fighter.

May he recover fully and testify to His Grace and Healing, using his platform to offer forth praises to our loving God.

Keep the Son in your eyes, Mr. Barta
