Day 6: A.M.

Mom said she got an encouraging report from the attending neurosurgeon this morning ... another doctor in the same practice as Dr. Semenoff. Dad remains stable. The nurse indicated that he seems to keep his eyes open a little longer each time. He's not fully conscious, but he's peeping out every now and then to see what's going on, I suppose.

They tried to cut back on the ventilator either late yesterday or last night, but said that it seemed to tire him out too much, so they have increased it back this morning. All in all, he's holding his own.

Thanks for all the information and updates on George. We are thinking about him and and our prayers go out to George and the family. Helen, if there is anything I can do please let me know. I have informed all the luncheon group and keep them updated each day. Love, Bill and Jo Nabers

Skeeter and Family,
You absolutely have the best doctor in Athens,Georgia working on your Dad. He recently did a back surgery for me and his attentiveness to his patients in one of a kind. I am so proud to hear of his progress and please remember we are praying for his continued recovery.
Love,
Kim Wortham
