Tom didn’t have a very good day. Speech wasn’t good and later in day his right hand became numb again. He had been moved out of ICU and to floor 6, but we’re now back up in ICU. The doctors are going to try to raise his blood pressure again, on oxygen, and his point of entry for surgery began bleeding so he’ll need to lay flat again for six hours. It began bleeding because Tominsisted getting out of a chair and on bed nearly by himself. His strength in his right arm wasn’t there to help him pull up, and the patch came off. The bleeding was stopped, and no major issues there. Just lay flat for six hours. He needs sleep, but won’t really let himself do that.

Keep praying

After a relatively good night,  things have rapidly declined.  The doctors decided they had done all they could do for him in the ICU and transferred him to a more standard room.  Throughout the day his stroke-like symptoms increased and they have now taken him in for another cat scan and then back to ICU.  Tom is understandably devastated.  We ask for your heartfelt prayers.
