Tom went through another surgery yesterday (Monday 2nd July) in Memphis. Everyone is very happy with how the procedure went. The surgeon had thought Tom would require two operations in Memphis, but has now decided that yesterday's one was sufficient.
Tom is today sitting up and in a brace -- a very positive development. Since his back appears to be in such good shape (relative to expectations) the schedule for his rehabilitation is being brought forward. He and his parents are currently considering whether to go to Atlanta or to Houston for rehab. That move could happen within a week.
In the meantime, cards (and flowers and bicycling posters) would be welcomed at Tom's parents address:
2691 Sweet Oaks Circle
Germantown, TN 38138

Tom,
I only just heard about your accident. As Dean pointed you, your social network is very expansive. On the upside, that means that there are tons of people thinking of you.
Good to hear you're making such great progress. Hope they're feeding you enough at the hospital. ;-)

Tom!
So glad you're doing well! I've been following this from internet cafes all over the place. Apenas puedo creer lo que paso - y en el pais en que madure! Que herencia! Pero todavia no he oido exactamente que paso. Es un secreto? Psyched you're getting good care.
