I read in the paper yesterday that he said to his mother that he wanted to go home
Glad to see things are looking up for the man.
Oh and also see he is a member of the Middleboro Cobras semi-pro football team  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

He is now off the ventilator, talking, no memory loss but will have to learn to walk all over again ( possibly no more football!) but hey, his poarents will take that anyday.
It was a miracle Gentlemen, plain and simple!
And most of all, for his parents may I  all!!! |

Great news. I didn't want to jump the gun while he was still touch and go, but it now seems like he's out of the woods.
Derek's a fighter. I wouldn't take odds against him playing football again.

Just over a week ago, Scott Ashworth was picking out a cemetery plot for his only son, wondering how many weeks or years he’d be on life support as the death grip of EEE locked his body in a coma.
Turns out Derek Ashworth, a 23-year-old semi-pro football player, is as strong off the field as he is on.
In a stunning turn of events, Derek, who contracted Eastern equine encephalitis from a mosquito bite, has awakened from a six-day coma.
“As bad as he had it, typically they don’t do well. But doctors also said ‘Don’t ever give up hope. There’s always a chance for a miracle.’ If I didn’t believe in him before, we do now,” said Scott Ashworth, the Rochester fire chief.
His son walked 10 steps on Wednesday, ate pureed chicken and mashed potatoes and started talking and asking questions about the past 14 days of his hospitalization.
Yesterday, in his fifth-floor Boston Medical Center room, the wide receiver wore his Middleboro Cobras jersey and clutched a football. He sat in his wheelchair and talked on a cell phone as his girlfriend and parents looked on.

Keep going Derek! |
