Terry Pluto leaves comment on Brian Windhorst


Terry Pluto left this comment on the post about Brain Windhorst being in intensive care:

I went to see Brian this morning, July 8.

By far, this is the best he has been since going into the hospital 2 1/2 weeks ago. He is still in critical care, still hook up to a lot of machines, still has very weak lungs, etc.

But he is now responding with his eyes, nodding his head, squeezing your hand, etc.

That began on Saturday.

He is strong inside, I could see it in his eyes in the 20 minutes that I spent with him. I was with his mom and a few other family members, just as I was the first time that I saw him almost 2 weeks ago. We prayed for him, and it was great to talk to him and see his facial expressions and his so wanting to engage in conversation, even though he can't talk just yet.

The best news has been no major setbacks in the last 2 weeks....progress is slow...and the road is long...it will be months for Brian to come back from the double-pneumonia, vascular problems, etc. But I feel very good about his spirit, his determination and how all of this will work out in the end.

Keep up the prayers!

Feel free to pass this on to anyone who may want a Brian update.
