Tom celebrated his 66 birthday today.  He received emails, cards, and even a visit from some of his Nantom employees of the past 20 years or so.  Thank you all for your kind words -- they were appreciated!  What a blessing for him to see all those whom he has impacted over the past 2 decades (and more). 

Please pray for his eye surgery tomorrow at 11.  It is a pretty routine surgery that will restore vision to his left eye.  (and give him perfect vision at that!)

Please pray for no complications and for a quick recovery.

Thanks so much for the prayers!  Rejoicing in the miracle of Tom's life today!

Yesterday was the 6 month anniversary of Tom's aneurysm.  It is hard to believe it was only 6 months.  And still amazing how far he has come since last July.

Tom's cataract surgery was re-scheduled for Wednesday January 25th.  Please pray for no complications to hold up the surgery this time, for wisdom for the doctors, and for a smooth recovery with no complications.

Please also pray that he will be able to start his next 2 months of therapy soon after the surgery.  Please pray that he will understand his need for it and not be resistant.

Tom's 66th birthday is Tuesday January 24th.  Please pray for a good day for him :)

Thanks for praying,

Brenna

Tom finished his therapy at the Homewood facility.  The therapists recommended for him to continue 8 more weeks of therapy at a facility that is close to home.  Please pray for the transition to this new place.  He does not understand why he is changing therapists at this point, and is frustrated.  He has made progress, but the time at this place has ended.

He will be having cataract surgery on his left eye on Wednesday morning.  It is a pretty common procedure, which will result in his vision being perfect in his left eye.  He has not seen clearly out of that eye since the aneurysm, so we are excited for his vision to restored, and be even better than before!

Please pray for a smooth surgery and smooth recovery.  Because of the brain injury, surgeries can set him back a bit.  Please pray for the recovery to be quick, and for the improvement in vision to give him hope for getting back to normal soon.  Pray for Nancy as she cares for him.

Thanks again for praying with us,

Brenna
