Rhonda, Tom and Nana spent the day with Cole along with family and friends including Grandpa Dick.

Cole's condition seems to be improving. When he's not kicking off his bed sheets, trying to get out of bed or trying to pull every single tube and line off of his body, he's resting comfortably. He opened his eyes at least 3-4 times today on command. He's off his antibiotics and blood pressure meds and is only given his pain medication as needed instead of a constant flow. His ICP is stabile and although the bolt is still in place it really hasn't been needed. He's still intubated and on the ventilator but they hope to remove them tomorrow.

Tom and Rhonda continue to be overwhelmed by the prayers and support and would find it very difficult to continue without them.

Tonight Rhonda told Cole that Ryan Abbatoye (a professional motorcycle rider) signed a jersey for him and Cole very purposely squeezed her hand very tight and didn't let go!

You can also post comments for Tom and Rhonda-I will ensure they read them!

  6. Cole, at every race I open the RV door to your smilling face saying "I've been waiting for Tyson to get here all day, can he play" and then you two are off... Well Tyson is waiting for you. Get stronger, faster, and better each day.

    We are thinking of you often every day.
