It has been almost 2 months since I have updated. Tom continues to improve. His therapy at the current facility ends in the next week, and he will continue with some more outpatient therapy at another facility closer to home.
He has been meeting with his primary care doctor now, and that has been a blessing for Tom and Nancy. He brings another perspective to the situation, and has known Tom and the family for years.
A few weeks before Thanksgiving, Tom (and Bryan and Nancy) met with the neuro doctors from Loyola. Again, everyone was amazed as to how far he has come since he was last at Loyola. The doctors said it could take up to a year for him to get back to "normal," with his cognition issues, but again they were hopeful.
We had a great time at Thanksgiving with the whole family. It was amazing to have the whole family together and have Tom pray for the meal for all of us. It was the best time we have had together as a family for a long time. A wonderful new memory as we move forward, and Tom continues to improve.
Please continue to pray for Tom and Nancy. Progress continues, but it is slow, and some days are better than others. Please pray for both of them as they transition to a new facility, and a new schedule for therapy. Please continue to pray for hope and encouragement for Tom, as some days are very frustrating for him.
Thanks for your continued prayers,
Brenna
