Doctors initially feared that Nick Tullier had less than 24 hours to live after the shooting. James Tullier said his 41-year-old son is in a coma but began responding to relatives' words less than a week ago — by blinking an eye, moving toes and squeezing his mother's hand. While tens of thousands of residents have returned to salvage waterlogged belongings and muck out their homes, James Tullier hasn't even set foot inside his. Nick Tullier underwent roughly a dozen surgeries, all to his abdomen, in the first week after the shootings. James Tullier said the president introduced him to his personal physician, who called him Monday to discuss options for transferring his son to a rehabilitation facility.
