Life is good

There have been lots of ups and downs since our last entry. Tom experienced extreme abdominal pain and had nausea for ten days. There were lots of theories but mostly everyone thought that it was from the flu that he experienced right at the start of our stay here...two weeks ago. His system really got screwed up from that along with lots of meds, chemo, sleep deprevation, etc. After a battery of tests they have concluded that he was probably experiencing pancreatitus. Forgive my spelling. Not good enough on the computer to check it either. He is off of all food and liquid by mouth and is relying on TPN (food in a bag) for sustenance. He was out of it for a number of days. We knew he was in there working...and today he made an appearance again! He was his old self once more. The nausea is gone and the pain meds are being needed a little less. He even went on a ride all mummified in blankets outside for some fresh air. His mother came to visit and there they were with matching Tom Hundt smiles. It was wonderful. That is where I got the"Life is good" part. He is resting comfortably as I write this. He is strong in his body and his conviction to get better. The nurses call our room The Love Room. They can feel the positive energy. We feel your love too. Thank you everyone. We'll talk to you later. Linda
