Tred Barta has fallen ill, needs prayer

CATCH AND EAT · 05-19-2009, 03:00 PM

I had the honor of meeting Tred Barta this summer when Bud invited me down for a BBQ in Garibaldi after they were out for the day on the tuna grounds. Tred is a great guy and a blast to be around. His energy rubs off on you and he does not miss a beat.

"On his way to Alaska to tape his TV show, Tred BArta suffered a rare occurrence called a spinal stroke affecting his t-2-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 predict permanent paralysis while others have given him up to 60% chance of at least partial recovery. His message to everyone is..."Don't take a single second of your life for granted."

Keep Tred in your prayers. I'm sure Bud will have more to add when he talks to Tred's people about his condition.

Here is a little more information about Spinal stroke so that you might have a glimpse to what Tred is going through.

Update: 'Encouraging signs' in Tred Barta's condition Wed, May 20, 2009 An update on Tred Barta's condition (May 20) from Dean Travis Clarke:

Just got off phone with Tred Barta and wife Anni. He had packed to travel to Alaska for a bear hunt for his TV show. Put his bag in his truck, Returned to house and then on way back to truck felt loss of feeling in his left leg. Decided to walk up mountainside behind house to make sure he could handle the rigors of hunting in Alaska before getting on plane. Condition worsened, so he immediately went to doctor. Doctor ordered ambulance to take him to hospital where MRI, CT scan, etc determined he'd suffered a spinal "Stroke." Quite rare – afflicting approximately 12 of 100,000 people in the U.S. each year.
Within four hours, he had completely lost feeling in both legs up to a point halfway between his chest and navel.
Tred and Anni seem to be taking turns being supportive and dejected. Fortunately, they seem to balance each other that way. He will soon be transferred to Craig Rehab Center in Denver. Craig is a non-profit freestanding hospital that has been rated every year in the Top Ten Rehabilitation Hospitals by US News and World Report since the ratings began eighteen years ago. www.craighospital.org .
Though last night was tough, today finds some encouraging signs. He has been able to respond to stimulus causing his toes to curl. The paralysis has lowered to about navel level. He seems to have regained some slight sensation in his right leg. Results of blood and spinal fluid tests also seem encouraging.
I will continue to keep in touch with him and will pass along news as warranted so as to not have EVERYONE contacting him all the time. He seems remarkably positive and upbeat this morning. Keep them in your thoughts and please live YOUR life as though this could happen to you tomorrow!

That's positive! I spoke to his office today and as you can imagine they're inundated with support and well wishes!

Tred's not an email guy so I wrote him a letter from all of us in the NW with our best wishes and faxed it to his house. He'll get it and I'm sure he'll appreciate all the love he's getting from our part of the country.

"Don't take a single second of your life for granted."
Great words, sometimes we get complacent until an illness knocks one of us or someone we love down. Then we are reminded how short and tenuous our time here really is.
I have yet to meet Tred Barta, but I believe his inner spirit and will is as tough as anyone's and he will beat this.

Seelicious · 05-21-2009, 10:48 AM

Tuna Time and I spoke to Tred today, as well as his wife. Annie was positive and upbeat but the reality is he has a long road to travel.

She explained that there has not been any real improvement but the doctors are feeling good about serious rehab getting his mobility back.

They'll be coming to Oregon...just as soon as they can...those were Annie's words.

After bs-ing with him for a few minutes he said "let's do another radio show and pump up the turnament and use my story as inspiration".

So...he'll be on air with Joel Shangle this Saturday am...more info coming.

He sounded like the Tred we know and love!
