per the Daily:
A 21-day hospital visit for the return of acute myeloid leukemia in December had pitching coach Todd Oakes concerned about more than just baseball at practice last Tuesday.
He addressed the team for the first time since his hospital visit, thanking the staff and players for their endless support throughout his battle with AML.
“The doctors and my family were worried whether I’d ever walk out of the hospital room,” Oakes said.
With a donor lymphocyte infusion from his brother, Oakes’ leukemia is now in remission for the second time.
He’s recovering at home and doesn’t know when he’ll return to the Gophers — he hopes it’s in the next couple of months.
