The Best Day Yet!

Vitals are still holding steady, and temp is down to 37.3 Celsius (99.1 Fahrenheit). He is still breathing on his own, and all vital organs are still functioning normally. They re-cultured his blood and urine for infection...both came back negative, and results from his lung cultures are still pending. The infectious disease doctor said she has no reason to believe that his infections are not under control. But most importantly...Mark has been opening his eyes today!!! The nurse was with him this afternoon and she said he opened his eyes, blinked a couple of times and closed them again. She was so excited she shed a tear. Then at the 8:00 visit this evening, he opened his eyes several times for Mom and Kim. He also raised his right arm up off of the bed. The nurse said he is doing "amazing," and his doctor came by and said he is doing "remarkable." What an awesome day!!!! Keep up the good fight Mark...you are doing incredible!!! You keep showing 'em what 3% looks like!
