I haven't been to the hospital this morning but did speak to his nurse. Dad opened his eyes for my mom this morning when she arrived. It was probably her voice recognition that prompted him to do so. When his nurse tried to get him to open up his eyes, he didn't. However, dad did follow the nurse's commands by squeezing his hand and raising 1 and 2 fingers. He just didn't open his eyes when told to do so.  Yesterday, dad opened his eyes 5 times through out the day. He opens them up for about 1 minute then goes right back to sleep. This is huge progress for him. It's amazing to think his brain cells are rebuilding as he sleeps. God's creation is truly amazing when you stop to think about it.  They still have not moved him from ICU. As of now, we're not sure when this will take place. We're in no hurry to move him. He's getting the care and attention he needs.
