Continued Recovery

Tom's recovery continues in Memphis. After his surgery went well earlier this week, he has been able to get around a little in a wheelchair. Just being able to sit upright is a big thing, but it's also great to be able to get out of bed.

Tom is at the stage where he will soon go to a specialist rehab clinic in Houston, possibly as early as Tuesday (7/10). Obviously that is another big step in the path to recovery. Please pray for Tom in this next stage.

Hopefully I can clear up some uncertainty about the state of Tom's legs. His right leg is in relatively good shape, but the left leg has more limited activity, so far. In his left leg, Tom has sensitivity, reflex (when they tap his knee with that little hammer), and some voluntary movement (better than uncontrolled twitching). It is uncertain how much his lelft leg will recover, but everyone who has worked with him so far seems to be very hopeful for good outcomes.

While he is still in Memphis, Tom's phone number is (901) 545 7829. His room number is D514.
