Well, Tom is still alert (mostly) and will answer our questions. He has been given a Vitamin K shot which will help thicken his blood and now he is getting some fresh frozen plasma which is supposed to help too. The plan is to put in the NG tube later today. It will provide a way to get him nutrition and the medicine to help get his ammonia level down. This should help the sluggishness too. Tom told me this morning he wants to get up. The nurse said if all this gets to working and he's more alert, they will come in and start working to get him moving again. He is so very weak he can hardly lift his arm. I'm helping him move his legs a little. I think he's pretty tired of laying on his back and being unable to move!
Keep on praying. God is good . . . all the time!
Pass on to Tom from me: Prayer offered from Jerry Musiel to the Monks at Conyers....
