The stepfather of Sago survivor Randall McCloy is speaking out. Tim Flint sat down with 12 News Friday and thanked supporters for all their prayers. Flint says McCloy continues to improve and even the little things bring a smile to his face. It's been a long month.

"From the point where doctors on the first night didn't think he was gonna make it until now," says Flint. "I still think he's going to make a full recovery."

"We have gotten cards as far away as New Zealand."

He says Randy still wears a feeding tube, but "each day he's eating more. Starting out with pudding. He's worked his way up to some chicken nuggets. Some Taco Bell."

He can't help but chuckle as he remembers better times with his stepson.

"He loves to be in the woods, whether it's hunting fishing, camping."

Flint says NASCAR is his favorite pastime with Randy. Despite the good memories his thoughts often wander to that night, at the Sago Baptist Church, where he heard the life-changing news.

"When I heard 'Randy McCloy,' I just grabbed his mother and Anna, and just headed for the hospital."

Stil, he says often thinks about the twelve other families he left behind.

"All you can do is give them a hug and say your thoughts and your prayers are with them."

As he goes back to work, Flint has new bounce in his step. The prayers seem to be working.

"I'm just thinking about the fact that he's improving every day. That just keeps me in an upbeat mood."

Flint isn't the official spokesman for the family, but he has taken on a role of keeping friends and family updated on McCloy's progress.
