Today has been a very good day. I spent quite a bit of time last night praying for a miracle and we know that many prayer groups are doing so as well. We thank you for that. Brody's oxygen saturations are up and the ventilator support has been turned down a little. The doctor is pleased with his progress today and we hope that he can keep it up. Due to his good oxygen saturations, they have been able to wean down the muscle relaxers a little and he is now grasping our hands and opening his eyes a little. Even though he only opens his eyes to little slits, we know he is in there hearing us. I raised my eyebrows at him and he raised his back. I can tell it is a lot of work for him, so I'm trying not to do it too much. But even a slight interaction today is a huge deal for us. He's been so heavily sedated that we haven't "seen" him for a long time. So we hope and pray that they can continue to wean the vent settings over the weekend and show all these doctors that Brody Bear can do it!
