Monday June 6th

Much more alert this morning.  He's opening up his eyes more and keeping them open for about 5 minutes at a time. He made another attempt to kiss mom's hand and kissed Katrina's hand and puckered his lips for my aunt Stella. For a second there, I think I saw his eyebrows go up and down trying to suggest to her, "hey good looking".
They placed a trach mask on him for an hour to determine how well he does without the ventilation machine and to also see his blood gas levels. We'll get the results here shortly. He's been recovering slowly each day with dramatic positive changes. I can't wait to post a picture of him smiling with a thumbs up for all of you to see.
