I do believe it is possible that Tom will be returning home at some point in the near future (oh no!! I need to clean!!!!). Today they pulled his catheter, so he's down to just an IV, so he can still have good pain control and positive humor. The morphine also helps keep him at a semi-normal accelerated human pace, so its all good.
He can eat and drink, had a chicken breast and carrots for dinner, ate every bite, which is funny because heretofore Tom has hated carrots. As my grandfather used to say, if you are hungry enough anything will be satisfactory. He had a lovely time circling his menu for tomorrow breakfast, made a spread sheet to consider all his options and tray positions (complete with elaborate diagrams) to try to fit every single menu item on one tray.
He went upstairs on the elevator to see dad today and (I think) he was allowed to go with only a sibling chaperone!! Who knows how he'll handle this new independence.
