Very Good News...Brian Stow opens eyes, able to give thumbs up...

[joeybee12]

Bryan Stow, the San Francisco Giants fan who was brutally beaten at Dodger Stadium on Opening Day, opened his eyes, tried to give a thumb's up with his right hand and even mouthed his last name, according to a message posted on the family's website.

Family members were told by hospital staff that Stow had an eventful Friday morning. He opened and closed his eyes on command and the milestones were witnessed by his nurse and a neurosurgeon. By the time family members arrived, Stow had been sedated and was resting.

"As always with these steps forward, we are aware that it's intermittent, and there will still be some steps back," the family said on the website. "Even before the surgery, when he was at his best, his response to commands were not consistent. We remain cautiously optimistic."

4. Last year, I went LA for the first time.

The tour bus (yeah, I know. But I don't have a car.) took us by the stadium and I thought it looked like a rough neighborhood.
