You may be wondering why I didn't post an update last night. That's because I never came home. 

 Tom was doing well medically yesterday, but was SO disoriented and confused; it was funny at first - he thought he was all sorts of places, and was saying incredibly bizarre things.  

But as it continued they were worried he would try to get out of bed (NOT a good idea!!!) especially when he seemed to think we were on vacation somewhere, and kept  insisting we needed to get an early start in the morning. So I stayed the night, and 'slept' on the couch, getting up with him throughout the night and sleeping an hour here and an hour there.  

He was still quite confused this morning (no, it's not 1989, and you're not driving on the LA freeways) and Jose, a burly nurse's aide, was assigned to sit in his room to make sure he didn't hurt himself. By lunch time Tom was (mostly) back with us. Lisa arrived, and after visiting with her for a bit I headed home for a shower and something to eat.

Originally Tom was supposed to be moved out of ICU yesterday, but obviously that wasn't going to happen in his state. However it's possible that by the time I head back over he may be on a different floor.

Onward and upward!
