Update Central

It has been a whirlwind of a week since Marc's accident, and the prayers and support have been flooding in! On behalf of our whole family I'd like to thank all of our friends and family who have called, stopped by, baked, sent notes of encouragement...you have lifted our spirits and reminded us how much we are loved. :)

Now for the update...today was a good day! Marc had 3 great neuro exams this morning. He squeezed hands, wiggled his toes, and even opened his eyes when asked (just for a moment, but enough for us)! After the 3rd neuro he had a session of PT (trying to ward off muscle atrophy) so he was tired this afternoon and they resedated him to give him time to rest. There has been talk of taking out the breathing tube to see how he does all on his own, but when doctors say they will do something there is usually a 1-3 day delay in actually DOING anything. So we are back to the waiting game, but with spirits higher than they have been in a few days. Everyone needs a good day now and then!
