Hello Nicki,

I can't add much that has been posted already.
I think you are doing a great job as Tom's caregiver. Please take time for yourself. It will help you long term to remain strong as this journey you and Tom are on can have many surprises. Hoping Tom comes home soon and continues to heal. Remember it takes one month of healing for every one week of treatment. Measure Tom's progress in weeks not days.

Best Wishes, Danny Boy
