Oh Crap!!!!

I know by the sounds of the title it doesn't sound good. On the other hand, it is very good. This morning was an uneventful day. We went up to see him and tell him good morning. In the process, David swallowed as if he was chewing on something. After he swallowed, he had drool running down his face ( on I know this may sound like to much information but it leads to this evening before dinner). The nurse was going to suction some of his salvia out and in the process, Dave proceeded to bite down on the tube. To us these are great signs as we know David and his personality.
Now for the evening and the meaning for the title. This evening before we left for something to eat, we met with the neurosurgeon who is working with David. Yesterday he told us that we would meet with him everyday just to say hi. Well after he was finished talking, dad asked him a few questions that dad noticed from the morning. The surgeon had no explanation for why David was turning his head or biting down. The doctor told us that he should not be doing anything to that extent. The doctor looked at the nurse and us as if we were nuts. The oh crap look the doctor had came after the nurse had confirmed that David has been doing those actions ( mainly because he kept telling us that they are just reflexes, well these weren't reflexes). So its always a great day to hang the hat when the neurosurgeon has no clue why he's doing those things. So for us today was a fantastic day and just another small step in the right direction. Please keep sending your prayers and thoughts.

  1. That is great to hear. Wiz has a lot of people pulling for him from all over the place. I know for sure that there are plenty of Tucson people with the big guy in their prayers. Please, let him know that we are thinking of him...

  4. Great news!! Just another example of doctors are smart but even they can't explain God's healing power (and a strong-willed, determined patient!). Keep up the positive thoughts & make sure to keep passing them on to, David! And as always, lots of thoughts & prayers from me to all of you.

  8. To Dave and the entire Wizniewski Family,

    Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during these trying times. I had the honor of working with Wiz (to include 2x deployments) while we were both assigned with to the 33 RQS.

    The "Big Guy" is a fighter and, based on the updates, he is showing us all that there is still a lot of fight in him.

    My family and I will continue to keep you all in our thoughts!

    Sincerely yours,

    Abe Salomon and Family
