This is wonderful news! Especially when on Sunday and Monday, the news coming out on Everett was not good. We tuned into this game after the helmet to helmet tackle and I still haven’t seen the hit — don’t really care to. I’m just so happy for the hopeful reports coming out.

I found this article at Sports Illustrated:

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Patricia Dugas reached out, touched Kevin Everett’s arm and asked her son if he could feel her hand. Everett — lying in a hospital bed, barely awake and hooked to life support systems — nodded yes.

“I can’t even explain it to you, he’s like a miracle,” Dugas said, her voice breaking in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

She went on to say:

“That’s right. They’re surprised themselves,” Dugas said. “They don’t know Kevin Everett. Oh, man, I always told him when he was a little boy, ‘You show them better than you can tell them.’ He’s going to be fine. I really believe it.”

She said Everett can shake his head, even throw it back in laughter. He has trouble speaking because of a breathing tube, so instead she said Everett is using a device to spell out words on a screen by hitting letters with a pen in his mouth.

Keep getting better kid.
