Tom Price, an assistant professor of journalism, and his wife, Pam Price, were released from Eskenazi Health in Indianapolis after being treated for smoke inhalation.
Tom was released June 3, and Pam was released June 5, Tom said. He still can’t speak louder than a whisper, but the couple is working on recovering.
“Improving more slowly than I’d like, but still improving,” he said.
He said they are doing well and aren't receiving any more treatment, despite having been in the hospital for nearly a week, at times under heavy sedation with tubes down their throat looking to help them breath after they were trapped in their house as it burned around them Friday, May 29.
The pain is beginning to subside, Tom said, but slowly.
“Throats aren’t designed to have tubes shoved down them,” he said.”It is hard for me to keep my mouth shut. I’d probably heal faster if I didn’t talk at all.”
For now, Tom and Pam are still living out of a hotel near the hospital, but they are looking for a house to rent until they can find something more permanent.
“I have no idea what’s going to happen past this weekend,” he said. “I figure that this is a poor time to make any major lifestyle decisions that aren’t absolutely necessary.”
