August 14, 2010 - Open Eyes and Smiles

After the whirlwind of yesterday, today was a more sedate affair.
Graeme was taken off the ventilator early this morning and was taken off all sedation by noon - what a joy and blessing.

Bryn got to spend two hours holding him this morning and at various times, his eyes were wide open taking in all around him.

This afternoon I got to sit with him and hold him for three hours and again he had big wide eyes during our visit. He also appeared to smile on occasion.... but this may just have been gas!!

Mariana is also very pleased with his progress. With her limited understanding, she looks at a photo of Graeme and says that he is in the hospital to get some sleep and some medicine. Speaking of Mariana, her rash is much better today - Praise God.

Please comtinue to hold Graeme in your prayers. Pray that he will continue to tolerate being off the ventilator, and that he will not require much additional meds for pain (they have said he will probably need some).
