He is starting to wake up more and stay awake for longer periods. He nodded at me when I asked him questions and even returned the smile I gave him when I came in. I turned some baseball on and he actually seemed to focus on the screen for a couple minutes before looking away. I asked him if he wanted his glasses and he nodded so his nurse put his glasses on for a bit and they didn't seem to bother him.
From what I heard, today (Sunday) was more of the same. He was awake for a bit and he seems to be engaging a little more in his surroundings than he has been. He has also been breathing on his own during the day with oxygen support so that is a very good sign.
As always, visitors are welcome and much appreciated. We are hoping that he will continue to wake up during the day so that he is more entertaining for everyone :)

Monday, good news!-- I saw Walt, Pat and Brian about 3:30 this afternoon. Walt is more alert than at any time that I have seen him since the accident. He was mouthing words but didn't have the attachment on his trache tube so we could not hear. He is in the 3400 area on the 8th floor. He is definitely on the up-swing.
Hooray Walt!!! Keep up the good work!!! Praying for your fast recovery!
