Shay's vitals are still very good. Tonight was a great night. In order to help the rehab process later they are bringing Shay out of sedation from time to time. Tonight Mom, Dad, Kelly, and myself were able to talk to Shay and he was trying to talk, nodding his head, and squeezing our hands. I am trying to stay humble about this but at the same time we are about ready to jump through the roof. I feel that I should also include that he asked for his Uncle Chris! Hopefully this is the first of many more successes.
Kelly and I are headed home back to the great community of Fair Grove where I can return to lanyard enforcement (FGHS students will get this one). Its tough to leave but at least we are leaving on a positive note. Even when I walk into Shay's room and look at him with all of the machines and wires on him he makes me smile. Its going to be a tough few days without being here but I know he is great hands here with these nurse and doctors. They are awesome.
Mom will continue giving me updates and I will post them as they come in. Thanks for all of the prayers and support. It means so much to the family. Reading the comments are therapeutic for the family while sitting here at the hospital. Now that Shay is on a type of sedation that will make him more alert mom will begin reading all of the posts to him. God bless each and every one of you who have prayed and commented. We are nowhere close to being out of the woods so please don't cease in your prayers. We just scored our first touchdown of a big game.

Shay, as you know our first playoff game is tomorrow night (wed). Even though you can't be here on the press box for this one, you will be with us on the field in spirit. Several members of the team will be meeting tomorrow morning before the team breakfast to pray for you. Keep battling; YOU ARE AN EAGLE!

Hi Shay,
