The Novena of Thanksgiving continues! Join us in prayer!
Thomas had a good day overall. Natalie and Thomas had breakfast together; Thomas called it their first "breakfast date" since his accident. He was able to try a variety of foods during the day including: pudding, fruit cup, thickened orange juice, raspberry greek yogurt, lasagna, mashed potatoes, carrots, salad, and applesauce. Not bad for day 2 of eating! Natalie is brainstorming about ways to boost the unexciting hospital food. A friend is coming today with some food items that Thomas specifically requested to try.
Thomas was able to read a little more on his Kindle again - turning pages by himself. He sat in his chair for 3 hours while Natalie read cards and notes and they enjoyed chatting together. 3 hours was a bit too much and he was in a lot of pain for the rest of the afternoon.
As of the update Natalie sent us, Thomas was still off the vent - they were shooting for 24 hours! We will let you know as soon as that goal is hit!
As always, thank you for your continued prayers and support!
I'm curious; how is Thom getting most of his nutrition? Naso-gastric tube, intravenous, something else? (I'm praying that by the time this gets answered, the answer is "by mouth!")
