New update: about 9:20 pm Dale opened his eyes and was responding to his dad. He looked like he was trying to pull out his breathing tubes (very normal reaction). Bro. Hanson, Bro Jon, and Bro Tim were talking to him and he looked at all of them. The doctor came in and said he was shocked and amazed that this had happened and that his primitive functions were returning. He said he doesn't want to give false hopes, but this was more than he was expecting. Praise the Lord and thank you so much for your prayers!
