Go Sonny
I'm relatively new to this forum. I do not know Sonny or Lisa but they are in my prayers. I'd just like to say that after reading all the posts in this thread, I'm totally convinced--we not only own the greatest cars made, the owners of these cars are also some of the greatest people in the world! Bless you all, Ron

Hey guys! Well The rehab doctor visited with Sonny yesterday and he says that he is DEFINITELY ready to start that portion of his recovery. They want to move him to the rehab floor as soon as possible but it may take a few days for them to work out the kinks since Sonny doesn't have health insurance 
He's been doing really well recognizing a lot of people. I wrote down "corvette" on a dry erase board that we got for him and showed him and he got a HUGE smile of his face and gave a thumbs up. So, I know he's in there it is just going to take awhile for him to come out! Hopefully he'll be in rehad by early next week and they say he'll be there about 2-3 weeks and then home after that! Unless he needs extended care after that then he'll have to go to a nursing home type facility I REALLY don't want that to happen! Keep your fingers crossed and prayers going for him to do well in rehab! Thanks again everyone, and I'll keep you guys updated! You're the best!

Here's the lastest on Sonny...last night he had his first real dinner in 2 weeks! Porkchops and sweet potatoes! He love it too...they are supposed to take his trach out tomorrow, which will be good since he's already pulled it out once on his own!! He's been a bad patient! He's been doing really good the past couple of days...really talkative when he's not sleeping! Getting a little better everyday! Thank you all for staying interested in his progress! Happy New Year!

"O Lord my God, I cried out to you and you healed me."
Gary, my daughter and I will continue to pray for a very quick and complete healing for Sonny. God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
God Bless
