Finally got through to Tom -- had to call his nurse first. Yes, he has been asleep a lot, but also a couple times he hasn't been able to reach the phone before the message kicks in (and if he gets on the line then, there's no one there).

They've sent off the usual fluids for analysis -- I guess his white blood cell count is up. Maybe there's another infection. I'll call later and see if there's any more info.

I tried to call Tom's primary care doctor, but he's on vacation. Left a synopsis and contact names and numbers, but not sure if he'll get them before Monday.

Now I need to go upstairs and touch base with Tom's cardiologist's office and let them know what's going on.

I feel a lot better now that I've talked to Tom.
