    I think God saw a great opportunity to "show off" here and He took it!! A whole generation of young people now know the power of prayer. Hallelujah!

    Actually, CBS Atlanta, Fox News AND 11 Alive all sent crews tonight – at the same time. We were all interviewed. Thomas was quiet and halting in his speech but he did very well. Check out the 11:00 news tonight on any of those stations. I'm not sure if or when it will be on. Thomas' doctor, Sanjay Dhall was also interviewed.

    I'm just speechless. We are so happy for you. Thomas' story is an inspiration, and I hope his story gets out there.

    It's too bad it took something so horrifying to bring us all together. Hopefully we can keep this spirit moving forward.

    what an amazing journey for Thomas and his family and friends - as a friend of a friend, it is gratifying to see the support shared with this family, in various forms of prayer and encouragment and laments and tears (and yes, I see these posts as prayers!)

    Go Thomas Go Thomas!!! He should continue to make awesome strides toward recovery. We'll all keep shooting up prayers for him, your entire family and his medical staff. Each day when I read another tidbit about Thomas' progress, I am filled with tears of joy.
