This morning we were up and moving early. By 8 am, Tom and completed a breathing session and was sitting in the chair for the first of 2-3 one-hour sessions today. He ate a good breakfast too. Just after we got him back in bed, the neuro-psych tech came in and performed a memory test. Tom did so good, I was super-stressed. Obviously my memory stinks (I already knew that), his is great. During the testing, two of his doctors came in along with PT. So, as usual, it's a pretty busy morning. Tom is now resting. We expect PT back shortly and he has another test to complete today too. Cathy is going to work with him on that while I am at the Transplant meeting at noon.
Tom received a couple of units of blood last night. Dr. Smallfield said he is getting better and may go home to wait for a transplant - but he's not ready yet. We are supposed to meet Dr. DuBay, another transplant surgeon today and Tom still has the heart/lung/breathing tests so maybe those will be today also.
I keep trying to read into what everyone is saying and doing whether Tom is "in the program" or not. It is so difficult not to. I know Tom is scared but he has such a good attitude also.
We just received a visit from the pastor of the church that Cathy's mother-in-law attends. Gods hand continues to reach out and cover us in prayer from so many people.
Please pray for Dr. Gray and Dr. DuBay. These are "our" transplant surgeons.
