More Good News

Cowboy here. Bull is awake about 50% of the time. Don't know what caused the turn around but will impart a few events. I was on my cell checking up on matters back home. Sar was sitting next to Bull, talking quietly to him. David was here, reading. Suddenly, an alarm sounded in the room, making us all jump. Sar immediately jumped on top of the comatose Bull, on his chest, punched his chest using both fists, the alarm went silent. Medics came running, Bull began to flat line they said. Don't know if my wife brought him back by her actions or the good Lord answered a prayer or 2. We are all grateful regardless.

Sar said she didn't see the flat line beginning; she simply reacted to the sound. Medics said her actions were similar to what they would have done. Probably would have done it with more finesse. Doesn't matter. It worked. Would like to add the birbintella also screamed as loud as she could that he better not die on her… A few things added to his IV lines and Bull's vitals were back to normal.

Later the tomcat – DomTom - crawled under Bull's hospital shirt, its head sticking out at the neck. Bull woke briefly, whispered "Tommy," that's what he calls the cat. In all honesty, have no idea what to make of that.

David and I continue to talk to the man, our words meant to encourage his well being, his future. Sar continues to yell at him, sometimes whispers words we cannot hear. The imp's expression varies – fierce, demanding, other times a tenderness that recalls days of regret/grief we have shared in the past. Bull drifts away now and again, happy to say more awake than not, says a few words, smiles at my imp.

Sar is more tired these days, eats when I put food in front of her. She rallies a bit after a brief rest, insists on staying close to Bull. From previous experiences, it is of no use to try forcing her away to rest. I hold her until she nods off; for now it is enough.

I humbly ask for your continued prayers for all our military, veterans, wounded, those on active duty. Sar joins me in thanking you for those prayers and good wishes for our own as well as those across the world fighting to give others freedom.
