Hi, All~

Tom is definitely a seeing, walking, talking miracle in Jesus’ name in progress.

Mechanically: His left toes, foot, and leg have regained their mobility, we are working on strength now. His left hand is just beginning to show signs of movement. He has a brace to make his arm extend rather than contract. If his fingers, hand and arm heal like his leg, we should see movement in the next week or two.

Last Thursday, Tom spoke to me. He said, “I need you.” I replied, “I need you too, honey.” He then said, “I need you (long pause) to take me home.” I think he really wanted to go home - too bad for me. Just kidding!!! He has been talking ever since. The trac tube was taken out yesterday (Tuesday) so his volume should increase. Tom’s enunciation should improve with time.

Tom’s eyesight is also on the mend. We know he is improving; we just aren’t sure what he is seeing. He did tell Mike the other day that he had a cap on his head.

There is always something new with Tom every day. I look forward to seeing what is new today!!!

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers. They are working!!

God always answers prayers – they just sometimes don’t look the way we think they should look.
