Sean Taylor Responsive: CONFIRMED by Vinny Cerrato

From JLC's Blog:

A REALLY REALLY POSITVIVE SIGN
Les Carpenter, who is working the story for us in Miami, heard rumblings that Sean may have opened his eyes.

I have not been able to get that confirmed but just heard from a team offical that Sean is now responsive, which is obviously a turn for the best. I will continue working away to get more details, but this is obviously a turn for the better after Sean spent much of the day in a "non-responsive and unconscious" state.

As the person put it: "Finally, the first good news all day." Let's hopes it's the first of more to come.

UPDATE: Vinny Cerrato just called us with confirmation.

"He was responsive to the doctor's requests to squeeze his hands and showed facial expressions. The doctors were very happy about that," Cerrato said " ... Two doctors came and told us they were excited about that."

Cerrato also confirmed my earlier reports about Sean being "non-responsive and unconscious."
Cerrato said: "We'd heard all that and what they told us was to hope foir a miracle."

I know this is being discussed in another thread, but given the turn of events I think it is definately thread-worthy. I personally feel like this is an early Christmas present. Thank you God.

God I hope this is ture.

sounds good to me. this is great news. i haven't been able to concentrate on anything all day.

God I hope this is ture.

Vinny spoke with the press. It's true. I can't imagine Vinny making such a statement prematurely. I'm sure he's not out of the woods, but this is HUGE.

i could care less if he plays again. i just hope he fully recovers from this.

This is fantastic news. And if the docs asked him to squeeze their hands and he did, that also means his brain may not be damaged. Oh please Sean. Come on buddy. Keep on coming back. Power of prayers.

Comcast is live with it now...

I'm wearing my Taylor jersey right now.

ALRIGHT!!.....I had very little hope until now, this is awesome news...ST truely is superman!!

Praise God! Sean must have angels watching over him.

Very, very good news. Continue to pray for his recovery.
