Being in the CCU is the right place for Tom. His problems keep changing, some improve and new ones show up. Today his cough and breathing are much better, he is using something called a Bipac that pushes the air into his lungs for him. He had it on yesterday for a few hours and it really helped.

It's impossible to comprehend how we got here.

Relatives are coming in from out of town to visit. Some of our very closest friends have been able to pop in to say hello. The boys brought some of Tom's favorite pictures and things from home to decorate his room. They have been able to spend time just sitting with him. I am mostly in my recliner next to his bed. I got some sleep last night, mainly because they are so on top of it here, I guess that let me rest.

Emails and offers of support continue to be a great comfort.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
