Eyes open!

Nathaniel looks great this morning (other than being tied down and having tubes all around and in him). He's blinking and moving around and looking somewhat unhappy -- which is exactly how I imagine anybody getting better after unexpected surgery would look. He's even blinking and moving around a little more when he hears voices.

But the best thing is that he's looking around. His eyes are open and he seems to try to look towards voices around him. It was really exciting to see.

Nonetheless, the nurse said not to expect any tubes to be removed today. She said it might happen, and that all his signs are where they should be, but that they're probably taking things slow and steady. That's fine with us.
