This is VG daughter again. VG is doing a lot better! He can move his left foot and his left arm okay. He is awake more and can open his eyes. He is still on life support but we are having him breath on his own a little but the machine is still helping with the air. he doesnt have a very good cough or a gag reflex which means if we were to take him off the machine he couldnt protect his air way. He has untill Wednesday to get better at that or they are going to make a cut and put the tube in his throat so his airway will still be protected. If they do that he will be able to talk or if he gets better and can come off the machine by himself he will as well. For him to be able to talk to me he is writing on paper. The first thing he said is, "I want to Smoke." He also gave the nurse the full finger. He was comfortable and she had to move him from his right side to his back and he didnt want to. He wants to be able to talk to all of you because he asked me to give him the computer that is in the room for the nurses. I told him that its for the nurses and that I was keeping everybody up to date as much as I could. His left lunge is no longer colapsed but it still has the blood clot in it and some of the fluid from the namonia. He is doing better each day and I have let him know that all of you are thinking about him. If you would like to call the hospital and talk to me, call the Southern Hills Hospital (ICU) and ask to speak to Alisha in room 11. if I'm not there and someone else is then you can speak to them or just leave me a message and I will call you write a way. My grandma might give you a long run about everything or even miss some things so I'm your best one. I want to thank everybody for your support you have givin my dad for the last 3 weeks, for my mom and now him it means a lot to him. He even had someone come to the hospital that he has never seen before but he knows him from the computer. That all helps him a lot. Anyone can come see him at any time.
Thankyou very much for all of your support,
Alisha

As one who only knows Dave through this website,, I have enjoyed reading his posts and his personal website.
I want you to know my prayers are with you, Dave, and the rest of your family in these hard times.
