The Eyes Have It!—Tuesday, 8:15 pm

There hasn't been much activity this afternoon, but Robert has briefly opened his eyes several times, including once when his daughter, Brooke, was watching. It's not a major step, but an encouraging sign.

Tomorrow will be a big day, with several procedures planned, as noted earlier. The tracheostomy may not be done yet, but a feeding tube probably will be inserted in Robert's stomach to ensure nutritional intake. Pray that the activity will not cause any major setbacks.

Robert has already received over 50 units of blood, straining a blood supply system that has been struggling to stay ahead of demand. Please give blood regularly if you can! We aren't sure if Robert's insurance will pay for all of the blood products, but if you are in the area and donate to the Keystone Blood Bank, you can donate in his name; it will be credited to his account if his insurance doesn't cover everything.
