Folks your prayers are working.
Roger is back in NorCal and I visited him today. His eyes were open and he was smiling when he saw me. His sister says he has regained a low level of consciousness, enough to recognize people and voices. I do believe he knew who I was, and understood what I was saying. He grinned when I called him TrapperDog, and myself Ironhorse.
I squeezed his hands and he squeezed back. I asked him to "squeeze the clutch", and although he squeezed the "brake" I am sure he understood what I meant. He leaned closer into me when I spoke, which I thought was excellent since he had a neck immobilizer on.
I asked him to blink as I read off a list of popular book titles. He blinked at "Of Mice and Men". I told him I would read him a little bit every time I visited. His sister said keeping him engaged with reading was helpful as it stimulated brain activity.
That's all I have for now folks.
