Well has been a few of the most interesting weeks. The weekend before this, I went to Boone NC on a ski Trip. Man I hate the cold. In the 5 days I was gone, Tom had a severe slide in health. When I returned on Monday, he was in bad shape. Tues afternoon he was placed in Hospice. Well a few days went by and he got some strength back and was able to realize where he was. As we learned on Thursday, he was as close to passing as he has ever been. Pneumonia had settled in him an was suffering from Oxygen starvation. He is now up to 5 liters and hour for O2 and will probably never get his voice fully back. The heart more than likely has taken on more damage. A trip to the Cardiologist will verify what we already know. Today he is much better and the slow work week has allowed me to be close by all week. Tomorrow is a 12-14 hour local here in Tallahassee. A days pay without going to far out. With any luck and the progress he is making right now, he should be able to come back to the house. We will need more visits to the house for sure. The weakness has progressed and he can no longer stand on his own. All things considered, he is doing well.
