About a week ago, Ed started opening his right eye just a bit, then on Sunday he had his right eye open about halfway and his left eye open just a bit.
On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings when I visited him, he was back to not opening his eyes,but tonight he had both eyes open about halfway and really seemed to be aware of his surroundings. Actually, it kind of frightened him when he couldn't get his breath because he needed to cough some of the fluids out through his trach. He seemed to feel better when I assured him that he had been doing this for quite some time,and he is always better within just a short time.
He still shows no real response like grasping your hand, or even straightening out his arms, since recovery from a coma starts with the eyes first and then progresses (God willing!).
So, feel free to visit Ed and explain who you are. As always, if you have any concerns that you might be ill, please delay your visit until you are feeling better.
Many, many thanks for all of your caring and prayers.
We feel incredibly blessed.
