Our prayers are being answered. This evening Donny nodded in response to a question. His brother Jimmy ask him if he could hear us to nod his head, although faint, he nodded yes. I was overwhelmed to say the least. We waited a bit and he opened his eyes for about 3 minutes. During this time he responded with a nod to 3 direct questions. The nurse, his Mother, brother and myself were in the room.
Donny was then taken for his Cat Scan of the brain and hand. He became so agitated that they phoned his doctor for approval to sedate him. His doctor stated "that if he was responding to direct questions with a nod, that he did not want him to have anymore sedation", so they were unable to perform the Cat Scan this evening and will try again tomorrow.
I can't possibly find the right words to describe this. The first thought that comes to mind is simply "Thank You" - to all OUR friends, God above, my amazing family, the doctors, nurses but most of all to Donny for fighting, being brave and "hanging in there". We're not yet to the home stretch, but I'd say we certainly reached first base.
Tears of joy continue to flow and I can't wait for tomorrow. I knew today would be a "Terrific Tuesday" and I am 100% positive tomorrow will be a "Wonderful Wednesday".
Please, please, please continue to pray. We have a long way to go, but I can't imagine anything being more difficult than these last two weeks and I know now I can handle anything put before me. You mark my words, we're gonna hit a "Home Run" before it's all said and done.
Time for wine -
Love to all, Darla

Good morning and God Bless +
Oh my gosh, what a terrific Tuesday it was indeed! I am so elated no doubt today will be very much the same!
Darla I whole-heartedly believe that Donny's will to fight is measured by the amazing love and admiration he feels for his immediate family. A heart felt thank you to you, Jason, and Jennifer for holding him up and keeping him strong.
Sending lots of love, hugs, and kisses your way.
With love and continued support,
Susie & Kids
