Previously, Travis' wife Mary Davis opened up to TODAY about the immediate aftermath of the singer's stroke and his recover.

"Even in his state, his semi-coma state, he squeezed my hand,'' she said. "And he laid there, and I just, I saw this tear just fell. And it was, you know, one, two at a time. And I just went back to the doctors and I said, 'We're fighting this.'"

She said that she turned to fan letters for a source of strength.

"When we were still in the hospital, my sister-in-law would say, 'I need to bring you mail,' " Mary said. "Well, she would bring these big blue storage crates, and they would be full. Then, two or three days later, she'd bring another one and it was full. I read every one of those letters to Randy when we were in the hospital, even though he was in his coma state a lot of times. They gave us strength and encouragement."
