Things went really well today -- much better than expected. Tom came through his surgery in excellent condition. He can even swallow a little water, which he hasn't been able to do. And he can talk better than he has in weeks. He looks really good and is in a good frame of mind. He has not been able to take his thyroid medicine for two weeks, and the doctor thought that might be what is causing his weakness. I don't know about his pain level, since I am not adminstering the meds right now. They kept him in the hospital tonight to see how he tolerates the G-tube feeding. So far it is doing really good.

To our Morgie Pie -- thank you for the offer, honey. We love you. I know you would do just as good a job as Eric would have. If I get to the point where I really need someone, I will surely let you know. So far, things are doable and I am hanging in there.

Will keep everyone posted on here.
