Tuesday PM

What a day this has been. It has been quite a roller coaster ride for everyone. Barbara said they were not able to waken him all night and then again this AM. The Dr. ordered another CT scan and found more swelling in the brain . There were several very grim hours. Late monring, they gave him the "silver bullet" shot they can only use 100% effectively one time. They called in the Dr. to help with family deal with their loss. About 5:30 Don woke up - bright eyed looking around at people with that new smile gripping hands following people moving around. Everyone was amazed. He rested for a while and then again woke up alert family telling him they would see him tomorrow and that smile and firm hand grasp. About 8:30 it happened again. Barbara's mother was holding his hand and telling him goodnight when a friend remarked hey what about shaking my hand - he let go of Barbara's mothers hand and shook the friends hand!! Thanks be to God for these moments of rejoicing today. God is still working and we still need a miracle. Keep praying and believing.
