March 6th

Tom was doing much better with his speech today.  He went home in the afternoon.  He was tired and confused, but those issues are similar to the last time he had a surgery, so we are assuming he will be OK in a few days, as he was before.   Pray for good rest for Tom.

We are very thankful for the amazing doctors and nurse staff at Loyola.  Bryan said it was in some ways "comforting" to be back in his Dad's old room at Loyola, because they had spent so much time there this past summer.  What a difference to have Tom awake and able to make his own memories there this time!  Bryan's mom was able to catch up with some of his past nurses as well.

Please continue to pray for Tom as he recovers from the procedure.  Please pray for Nancy as she cares for him.  He has come so far, it is hard when there are steps backwards.  Pray for continued progress and hope.

Praising God that all the scans looked great and he is doing well.

Thanks as always for praying for us,

Brenna
