Update from Virginia - Friday

Virginia reports the doctors did administer paralytics to keep him still and 2 strong antibiotics for the pneumonia. 2nd brain probe inserted to measure blood oxygen of the brain. The 1st measures pressure. Jim says the the blood oxygen to the brain was low. Blood pressure was tweaked and it came back up.

JIm sees this current coma induced state as a good thing - like Thomas back in the womb again. Thomas will experience a second birth. We only know some of what to expect - like the sex of the child, but little else.

Foster North, District Committee Chair of Hightower Trail reminds us, a Scout is brave. We must all be brave with Thomas and for Thomas.

    Known Thomas for a long time as a classmate, neighbor, and fellow scout. He's a great guy and my family and I are thinking about him. Get better man!

    Thanks, Virginia.

    It's good you're keeping your sense of humor. Often, in hard times, a good laugh is the best thing for our spirits.
