(CelebNMusic247-News) Randy Travis Awakes
Great news for Country music fans as Randy Travis was awake and interacting with his family and friends Monday!
Country music star Randy Travis is recovering from surgery following a stroke, according to his doctors reports.
In a news release and video from the Texas hospital where the 54-year-old singer is recovering, doctors said Travis remains in critical condition and on a ventilator, but is off a heart pump and is breathing spontaneously.
His breathing support is gradually being reduced and he has begun the early stages of physical therapy.
Mary Davis, Travis’ fiancee, thanked the singer’s friends and fans for their prayers and support.
Davis said in the video:
“I know that Randy feels each and every one of those.”
“He feels the hands of the doctors and the care of the nurses and the love of his fans. His friends and family have all been touched by that. He is responding well to voices and he sees and he understands. He’s miles beyond where any of us thought he would be a few days ago.”
Travis will stay at The Heart Hospital Baylor Plano for two to three more weeks before being transferred somewhere else to undergo aggressive physical therapy. Doctors say it will take months to recover from the stroke, but scans shows the swelling in his brain is subsiding following surgery and he is making good progress in his recovery.
