September 1

Tom had a good day of therapy and evaluations.  Bryan and Nancy were with him all day.  They are impressed with the facility and the staff.  They took Tom outside in the wheelchair for awhile, and got him nice and tired for bed tonight.  Please pray that he sleeps well tonight, and gets on to a normal sleep schedule again.

Please continue to pray for his strength and endurance with the physical therapy as well as the speech and occupational therapy.  It seems they are figuring out the areas that he is "lacking," due to the damage caused by the aneurysm.  They said he has a lot of potential for recovery.  Only time will tell what that actually means for him.

His sense of humor is still there.  In fact one of the staff evaluating Tom thought he was joking when he could not answer his question, because every once in a while Tom throws in a sarcastic comment.  Having Nancy and Bryan there today was very helpful to clarify when he being silly, and when he was actually confused.

Please continue to pray for strength for Nancy and the family.  It is a long road ahead, but they are hopeful.

Thanks for praying with us,

Brenna
