VICTORY

Tom is awake and extubated!!!! He looks awesome (minus his mustache from where his tube was taped ;-) He is smiling and interactive although still a little confused but whispering answers appropriately. He still has a long road but this was the greatest accomplishment so far!!!! Thanks for all the prayers and positive thinking! I know he would have continued to fight to get to this point on his own but all of you pulling for him definitely helped. No words can express our thanks!!!!

  7. Relief, happiness, thankfulness! I read this during my 9th period class and started crying! My kids asked what was wrong so I gave them the abridged version. They clapped and cheered! It was very cute to see 17 year old tough-guys with tears in their eyes for someone they don't even know!:) So many people are pulling and praying for him. Will talk before we leave...Love you both!
