I just wanted to thank everyone again for the responses and good wishes and prayers for my son.  In this forum and on the General forum.
  I printed the responses and took them to the hospital and read most of them to him when he was awake today and it did get a smile out of him.
  He can't talk with the trach and I'm not a good lip reader but he did say to send a thank you to all of you.
I thank you again.....Dave

Dave,

That's great to know your son is alive, conscious, and in good spirits!
May he have a speedy recovery!

God bless
