Yes! Tom's ammonia level is down and he is more "himself" today! I told him it was good to have him back.
Dr. Rutland came by this morning and gave us the good news. He also told us that the spine specialist had already seen Tom (don't really know when that happened) but they are moving forward with scheduling the Kyphoplasty procedure on Tom's back. This will require Tom to be put to sleep so that's always scary. I don't know how quickly this will happen - today, tomorrow, next week, next month . . . The radiology team at Baptist does this so it may be easier to schedule than if it was being done by an orthopedic surgeon. I think today would be good. Then, if Tom's ammonia level is better, he could go home tomorrow or Thursday :-)
I'll post an update as soon as we know something about the surgery.
