5/31 9pm Update - Awake and Responsive - Smiling, Nodding, Squeezing Hands...

They allowed mom to wake up and visit with us for a short while tonight. Her eyes were bright, she was smiling, nodding (even laughing at bad jokes), and squeezing our hands. It gave us all much hope for a happy outcome. When she is awake, her BP drops, so they will continue to sedate her so she can rest and recover comfortably. Watch for more updates. Nights are scary. Becky and I are staying tonight. Keep your fingers crossed with us.
