The Story of Henry Schueler
Henry’s football number at St. Mary of the Woods and St. Patrick High School was 41. His baseball number, while a member of ESAA baseball and ESAA All-Star teams, the Edgebrook Bulldogs and St. Patrick’s was 9. Those numbers were special to Hank and his family and figured prominently throughout his illness.
Hank was diagnosed with a rare subtype (hypodiploidy) of acute lymphoblastic leukemia or “ALL” in November of 2006. Because of the generally poor prognosis of his disease subtype, it was recommended that he undergo a bone marrow transplant following a four month block of intense chemotherapy at Children’s Memorial Hospital in Chicago.
