I called Erin a little while ago to check on Tom. He is still in the Intensive Care Unit, and he does have a full-time "sitter" to make sure he doesn't pull any tubes out of place - either that or they'll need to tie him down.
Erin's update is as follows:
1) the infectious disease doctor saw no infection in Tom's spinal cord or brain
2) the nurses changed the dressing on Tom's scab and Erin said that the nasty skin has mostly "come off" and there is now fresh skin
3) Tom wants water but he can only have ice right now (I don't know why)
4) he's saying a few garbled words here and there - usually when Erin intentionally tries to irritate him
5) the doc ordered an x-ray of his lungs to see if there is any fluid present - the results are not yet available.
We aren't sure why he sleeps all the time. I'll find out when I return later this afternoon.
