Stopped by to visit Dave this evening. No change really to speak of with the exception of one thing. As I was getting ready to leave, I grabbed his hand to tell him I'd see him later and his mom said again as she did earlier "Dave, John's here". I said " ah heck, he liked to call me by my last name a lot", so I said my last name to him about twice and he slowly began to open his eyes and then kept them open! He kept them open for a few minutes, blinking occasionally. I'd like to think he heard me and was trying to let me know he heard me, and until someone can prove otherwise that is what I believe in my heart. Keep praying folks!

Glad to hear he's still fighting!!! C'mon BF!!!

he heard me and was trying to let me know he heard me

 

THIS! This is what he was trying to tell you RTS, and no one on Earth can prove otherwise!

 

With Dave bearing this cross, and with his faith, it reminds me of this verse:

Matthew 10:38 And whoever does not take up his cross, and follow me is not worthy of me.

That is awesome, RTS!

Continuing to pray for Dave and his family.

Wow I rarely check threads in the break room and just now saw this. So sad to hear about this, prayers are with you!

Run To State, thanks for the updates on BF. If only everyone had a Run To State as a friend, you are truly a blessing. :ylsuper:

 

Continued prayers for BF.

Everyone I'm sorry I have not posted today. Left out of here around midnight last evening and finally got some sleep after 24+.

 

Today I got back to the hospital around 2:00pm. Nothing really going on till about 2o minutes ago. David opened his eyes and let out two great big yawns sticking his tongue out following the second. Even more important, during the second yawn he tilted his right wrist up. Huge encouragement.

 

I cannot stress enough how in debt we are to everyone for praying and posting nice thoughts here. As I mentioned earlier, they lift my parents spirits in ways you all will never know. You sit here hour after hour and try and remain optimistic. But honestly you cannot avoid the emotional up's and downs. You all know what I'm talking about. Last evening I opened the house and literally fell to pieces.

 

Please keep your prayers coming for David and my parents. Thank all of you.

Wasn't that just a wonderful bit of news, lawildcat?! It's signs like this that keep me optimistic!

Run To State, thanks for the updates on BF. If only everyone had a Run To State as a friend, you are truly a blessing. :ylsuper:

 

Continued prayers for BF.

So very kind of you but I'd change it a little. If only everyone had a Birdsfan as a friend, he is truly a blessing.

Dearest Mother, We ask that you comfort our friend Dave and his loving family during this difficult time, we come to you with all their pains and troubles, all their hopes and aspirations, look upon them and console them, wrap your gentle hands upon them, now with Jesus intercede, pray for them Queen of Peace, Amen...

I wanted to share this beautiful message with all of you from Dave's friend Perry, a professional voice over talent.

Hello everyone and Happy St. Patrick's Day to all.

 

Dave is going to have a second EEG today and should provide a clearer view of his future. Apprehension is high.

 

You all have been absolutely wonderful. I hate to ask over and over but please say a quick prayer for Dave soon. Whether while at work, in your car, doesnt matter. God hears us and thank you.

Test is underway.

Prayers still going out for Birdsfan.
