ed's back to opening his eyes

So, after two days of keeping his eyes shut, Ed started peeking out of his right eye, then opened his right eye wider and started peeking out of his left eye, and how he's back to opening both eyes - yeah!

Some days it is, however, a little difficult to "wake him up" - yesterday he did not initially respond much to me, but after putting the head of his bed up a little more, and rubbing his arms, he began to be much more responsive.

He also "startles" and gets goosebumps when I rub his arms or legs, whereas a few weeks ago he really didn't show much response. Little things, but we treasure them!

By the way, we have been told by someone who recovered from a coma that sometimes it was difficult to comprehend fast enough to keep up with normal speech, so we've tried to at least occasionally speak a little slower. Nothing ventured...
