The rest of Friday

The Respirtory Therapy teacher came back this afternoon but Tom was so comfortable and didn't really want to have the tube taken out right them. It all worked out for the best because Emily (another RT person) came later and she walked me through it and I DID IT! I can do it--I can take care of Tom! High fives all around--well, at least between Tom and me. Later today I cleaned it all by myself--getting more confident.

It has been decided that we will wait until Monday to go home. Hospice will take over Tom's health care and it will take till then to get it all put together. This will also give us the time to feel comfortable with all we need to do.

It is 9:00 and Tom is settled in for the night. I am right behind him. We are trying a new medication that might help--we are hopeful.
