David's Progress, A Sign of God's Presence

On monday night david was admitted to the hospital with a traumatic brain injury. the doctors said that when he came in, he was trying to rip things out with his left hand, and moving his hand and arm with a purpose. once out of surgery he was moving his left arm/hand and squeezing people's hands. he was on a ventilator to help him breathe, he could also hear peoples voices. this went on till tuesday/wednesday. the next day he had started moving his toes, on the left side, and started fluttering his right eye as if he was trying to open it. he was also starting to move his right index finger, and squeeze his right hand. he also started moving his right leg a little bit. he was later removed off the ventilator, he still has a breathing tube in to keep his throat from collapsing, but he is breathing on his own. he now is opening his eye more frequently, he's trying to open his left eye, and he tried moving his lips and moves his tongue, and sometimes makes a grunting noise. also today, he recognized me, so every time i tried to leave or move to the other side of the room he was freak out, and move his left arm around to grab my hand again. he also was exploring my hand, and he would squeeze it when i told him that he was holding my hand. his squeezes were hard and with a purpose. made me happy! :) so he's improving a lot!

Keep those prayers coming, because they are working!
