Hello friends, Yesterday, Tom was moved to a more local nursing home, Mitchell Manor (Mitchell Indiana). Ever since he moved to the double room, things have really gone downhill. His roommate would not stop talking, and the woman across the hall constantly screamed. Tom did not get a moment's...

Hello all, Well, it's been awhile since I've updated you all. Three weeks ago, Tom started getting lunch; the following week, they added breakfast. He gets these M-F with his therapist. No problems, but I don't know how much longer before he will get all of his meals. Last week, his PIC...

You all should take a minute to reflect on the positive things in your life. Enjoy the ride, and give Indiana tom a thought while you ride the twisties. I know he was looking so forward to attending EOM again this year. Maybe next year will be better for him. :good:

Another update: Tom's wife had her ultrasound last week. It's a girl, seems no doubt about it. No name yet, kind of waiting until Tom can help a little more. And speaking of Tom, he seems to be progressing very well. This weekend, he was really trying to talk. He got so frustrated, though...

So sorry for your loss. Thinking and praying for you and your family. My most sincere regards.

Hey all, Just wanted to let you know that I had the pleasant experience of having a semi-one way conversation with Tom yesterday. Seems that Tom was very much awake and alert yesterday, and while that was the case, Tom's wife called me on the phone. (I am in NY). And Tom was able to hold the...

Hello all, I just want to give a big THANK YOU to all who participated in Tom's birthday bash, regardless if you participated physically, by phone, or just in thoughts and prayers for the party/work bee that occurred at Tom's house this month. So much was accomplished and Tom's wife was very...

Update: Drainprocedure was postponed for now. Seems Tom can't seem to do anything according to plan, and he has developed a blood clot in his leg. The clot is located in a location that has the Dr's a bit concerned and they decided to install a filter, as they were concerned that the clot...

Thanks to all for the support. Tom is back in Louisville tonight, and he is scheduled to have a procedure done tomorrow that will install a permanent drain. We are hoping that this will allow the fluid to drain, relieving the pressure inside his head, and hopefully he can start to get better...
