Tom and Cher

I went to see Tom again this afternoon. He was resting comfortably, and the hospital was pretty quiet. No one else was there.

He looked better today than yesterday, I thought. I didn't get any photos together to bring in for today's visit, but I did bring my iPhone with me, loaded with Tom's favorite divas, of course.

I decided to play some Cher for him. Didn't the son-of-a-bitch's eyes pop open when I started with If I Could Turn Back Time...!!! As God is my waitress, they did! It was only for a brief moment, but I knew it had done the trick. I laughed so loud the girl in the nurse's station came in to see what was so funny. I decided that I would NOT play the same song over and over and over for him, as I knew that's what he wanted, and I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction. Payback's a bitch, as they say, for all those times he made us endure them.
I dediced on the American Treasure next, although it didn't play very loud on my iPhone. That didn't stop me from putting it up to his ear so he could hear it. His eyes once again fluttered, and I knew I was on to something.
Next came O Holy Night, and his reaction was again the same. I think he enjoyed hearing the music, so I might bring some more the next visit. I will also try to gather some photos and bring them in and put them up on the wall. There is a photo of Tom, Mary Ellen and Debbie there and it's a nice touch.

Unfortunately I had to go to work and cut my visit short. Chris and Craig and Troy and Paul are all visiting right now.

Hopefully they will have something to add tonight.
