Eyes on the prize

I haven't had time to share anymore stories about Tom lately, he's been in pretty bad shape. Since the broken bones..he's been pretty miserable. Scroll on down to read about happier times. There are plenty of stories to read so check out his whole blog.

Today we go back to the doctor and find out if Papasan may have broken more bones. This time, it seems to be on the opposite side from where he fell. He's having painful spells where it literally takes all of his breath away. He's had two very bad nights and hopefully the doc can give him some relief. Even with pain killers he's only sleeping for an hour or so at a time.

*UPDATE* We are heading to the Michael Debakey Medical Center. They are admitting him to the hospital. If I can get internet, I'll keep everyone posted!

The good news is, it's time to start getting him excited about a garden because we cannot make the trip to Illinois for mushroom season this year. There isn't much that gets him more excited than trying to have the first home grown tomatoes every year. Gotta set goals! I'm planning to document the entire process for him this year on his blog. Stay tuned, more stories to come....
