The National Guardsman who was shot in the head in late November in Washington, D.C., is making "extraordinary progress," as he "is now breathing on his own and can stand with assistance," a neurosurgeon revealed.

MedStar Washington Hospital Center’s Jeffrey Mai provided the update on U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe, 24, as U.S. Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom, who was killed in the Nov. 26 attack, was laid to rest this week in West Virginia. Gov. Patrick Morrisey described Tuesday’s ceremony for her as "incredibly moving."

"Sixteen days ago, Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe was airlifted to MedStar Washington Hospital Center with a critical gunshot wound to the head. Thanks to the immediate response of emergency personnel and the exceptional care provided by our trauma and neurosurgery teams, he received lifesaving treatment, including emergency surgery to control bleeding and relieve pressure on his brain," Mai said in a statement released Friday.

"Today, we are proud to share that Staff Sgt. Wolfe has made extraordinary progress. He is now breathing on his own and can stand with assistance— important milestones that reflect his strength and determination. Based on these improvements, he is now ready to transition from acute care to inpatient rehabilitation as the next step in his recovery journey," he added.

May God bless him and keep him. May he return to the loving circle of his family and may he know much of health, happiness & joy.

Really hope that he gets back to where he was before and that he’s showered with honors that will never make up for his suffering but will let him know how people care about him. There has to be a lot of support given to his family, as well as to him. We need to remember that we don’t welcome terrorist connections in this country. We only welcome true friends.

Thank you Lord for answering our prayers. Now, about making it a little tough for Bennie the “Yakety Sax” Thompson to breathe. It can be an “unfortunate accident.”

When he recovers enough it will be interesting to get his first person testimony about the attack.

Or as the Communist Party calls it an unfortunate accident.

At first reports, I didn’t believe he had a snowball’s chance.

Amazing.

I would be pleasantly surprised if he remembers anything at all about what happened.

Praise God. Please, Lord, continue healing this brave man, who was injured leaping attempting to defend his slain colleague.
