Dink is still in ICU. He was more alert today; saying some words; and appears to get frustrated when he can't get us to understand what he wants. They are doing therapy on him - speech therapist said his speech was better today! He is saying yes, no, okay, don't want, and a few other words. He wears out easily - his body did suffer two big shocks within 40 hours - a stroke and heart attack! Physical therapy just absolutely drains him! Doctors are encouraging with his prognosis which is what we are holding on to!
They are talking about moving him to Health South which is a facility where he will be given extensive therapy. He could and very well may be there for at least 100 days.
These small signs of improvement is lifting our hopes higher for a full recovery, but we know he has a long road ahead of him! We ask for continued prayer for Dink and the rest of the family!

Sue, Praying for your brother, and all of you as you weather this trial. I don't know if we'll see you this weekend or not... if not, we'll miss you, but we'll be praying for you and thinking of you!
