We went to see Chris at 8:00 pm figuring we would get an general update from the nurse and just "visit." What a wonderful suprise we had when Chris opened his eyes and realized that we were in the room with him. The nurse said he has been able to respond to commands-to move arms and legs. He got a bit agitated when I said we were going to leave-I asked him if he wanted us to stay a little longer and he nodded yes! He is still on the ventilator and will probably continue to be on it most if not all of tomorrow, but he is holding steady with everything at this point. Carolyn and I are going to call it a night-4:30 am is way too early to be up and about. I am sure we will sleep much better tonight knowing that Chris is being taken care by such a wonderful team of professionals. Thank you again for all of your thoughts, prayers, and comments. Mary Jo
