He is still extremely drowsy and not yet able to squeeze hands on command however he will just about open his eyes. He still remains on the ventilator and dialysis machine however the support provided by the balloon pump is slowly reducing as are some of the medicines supporting his blood pressure. I am hopeful that he will be fully able to open his eyes and with luck start to begin taking some of his own breaths in addition to those provided by the ventilator.
