I am so happy today I could just cry!! I feel like I am watching a miracle unfold... and I just can't wait to see what God is going to do next!!!
Blair is definitely more awake than previously. He follows you with his eyes and lifts his eyebrows when you say something a bit surprising or awkward to him. He was able to say "yes" and "no" to simple questions by using his arm. (Up for yes - down for no). When we left this evening Alex said "deuces" and held up a 'peace sign' with his fingers and Blair tried to make a peace sign back at Alex!! He even appeared to watch Alex do card tricks.
He was able to tell the nurses what hurt by putting his hand to his throat (where the tracheotomy and vent tube is) and they explained to him that he shouldn't try to talk because he isn't able to due to the respirator.

His respirator is down to 30% assistance, his heart rate is 110 (average) which is still high but stable. His respiratory rate is still high but lower than yesterday.
I am just so thankful tonight as I go to bed... thank you for your prayers and know that God is answering every day!
