Today Buddy is doing much better in terms of awareness. He recognizes people and acknowledges them by name. He is smiling some as well. Trish was in his room today and Buddy started trying to communicate something to her. Most of it just sounded like mumbling except for two words, "Southern Baptist". She leaned over and asked him if he was a Southern Baptist and he verbally acknowledged that he was. As Buddy's recovery carries on, please remember to pray for the family as they take turns being at the hospital with Buddy, as well as taking care of life outside of the hospital. One of the most encouraging things for the family to see is the physical therapists that have begun to visit Buddy in preparation for his life outside the hospital. How far God has taken Buddy in the last 72 hours!Please continue to pray for Buddy as he continues his recovery.
