Ron got an IPOD for father's day and his good friend, Neil W., sent him CD's that were downloaded. When Cindy put the earphones in Ron's ears and asked him if he liked it, he nodded YES!! He seemed more alert this morning and opened his eyes for longer periods. Thanks Neil for your thoughtfulness

I know this may sound redundant at times; however, there is no change in Ron's progress. He is still opening his eyes and raising his eyebrows. He is also still grimacing with pain when moved. Please continue your prayers during this time of healing.

Ron remains the same today. Still experiencing pain and receiving medications to help "ease" the feeling of his nerves growing back.

Ron is communicating more by facial movement. He seems to be more alert and is experiencing pain (which is a clear indication of his nerves growing back). They are continually giving him medication to relieve his pain.

Plasmapherisis will be continued today and tomorrow. He is opening his eyes and nodding his head. So much improvement over the past few days! Words cannot express how grateful we are to have so many loving friends and family members that continue to pray and lift Ron up.
Due to infection control, only limited family members will be allowed to visit Ron. Once his condition improves, Ron will love visits from his special friends. We will let you know once we feel the time is right.Thanks again for your support and understanding during this time.

Our visit with Ron tonight was encouraging. Although he still remains sedated, he is still opening his eyes and trying to focus. He seemed to be comfortable and nodded his head to a few questions. We hope his progress continues. They will be doing the plasmapherisis again tomorrow.

Today is a great day! Tiff went in to see Ron after work and he opened his eyes really wide and HELD them open for the first time. He was able to focus and look straight at her with those BIG BLUE EYES! He also nodded to her that he could see her. The nurses let us know that he is continually nodding his head when asked questions. He is making progress - slowly but surely! They also repeated the plasma transfer today, which went great!

Ron's progress remains the same. He is still trying to open his eyes - the power of prayer is truly working! Keep up the faith!

Ron showed some improvement today. His vitals were good throughout the day and moved his facial muscles. Thanks for the many prayers! We could not get through this time without the love and support of EVERYONE!

Ron's vitals remained good throughout the day. They are trying a new medication to relieve pain and keep him sedated.

Ron does not have fever today.They are continuing to give him antibotics. They replaced his central line and are still postponing the plasmapherisis until the infection is cleared. Thank you for your prayers and support.

The plasmapherisis has been postponed today. Ron has developed a fever and his heart rate is elevated. Antibotics were started and they are trying to find the source of infection. They are going to try to do the plasmapherisis tomorrow. Pray for a good night.

Ron has continued to show facial movement. When Cindy opened his eyes this morning, he was able to keep them half way open for a short period.
Thank you so much to the people who are generously given their time to be a part of the blood drive today. Also, thank you to First Baptist Church for getting this set up. This means so much to our family.

The blood drive is over and we want to say a BIG thank you to everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to help Ron. We were surprised at the turnout and appreciate each of you. They should be starting the plasmapherisis again tomorrow. We will keep you updated on the progress.
