The end of day 10

As we start day 11, the news is still positive. Not a lot of change throughout the day, but Donny's condition remains "stable" and "guarded". Our goal remains to ease him out of the sedation and off the ventilator and proceed with neurological testing. He was resting very well this evening and responded to the doctors command to open his eyes.

I am respectively requesting that visitation be limited during the next few days. It is crucial to Donny's recovery. We are confident he is aware of people visiting and he becomes very agitated and excited when we speak to him so we have elected to keep him calm while easing him out of the sedation.

Jason, Jennifer and I very much appreciate the love, support, prayers and everyone being so extremely gracious. We realize how very lucky and blessed we are to have such a wonderful family and amazing friends.

Please continue to pray, we are make gradual slow progress, but not yet "out of the woods". I can't wait for the day to write ~ WE'RE GOING HOME!

Love to all, Darla

Good morning.

Oh my goodness, what a blessing that Donny has opened his eyes and is respectively responding accordingly! Gosh, it's so exciting and, YES very convincing that he will in fact not only pull through this BUT pull through this 100% Don Farmer as we all know him.

God is GREAT, and prayer is phenomenal; hence the answers to our prayers.

With love and continued support,

Susie & Kids

Darla, my sister Lin and I think of you,Donny and your children every day. My mother had a major heart attack at age 55 and recovered. So, we can empathize to a degree. We wish him the very best and pray that each day is an improvement over the day before.
