He does recognize his mom.
Those are all good signs.
He had been retaining fluids so they hooked tubes out of each side of his body and one from his stomach. He had been draining a lot, that has slowed tremendously.
80 percent of people with the sliced aorta don't live, of the 20 percent left, only about half survive the surgery. He has survived both and appears to be doing well considering all he has been through.
The doctors say they can't understand how he is doing as well as he is.
Thank you all for your prayers and please keep them coming. I know Steve well and know that he appreciates it.
The doctors have sedated him and he won't be able to have any visitors. I will keep you posted, as soon as he can have visitors, I'll let you know.

He is still sedated.
He is very, very badly injured.
It will be a long time before he sees any simplance of normality again... it ever.
Please keep praying for Steve and his family.
Semper Fidelis!

I wish him a safe and speedy recovery.
God that must have been scary...at least he doesn't remember it. That would be one of the worst parts for me.

That's terrible. Godspeed brother.
I hope they end up catching the driver and charging him with vehicular manslaughter.
