This afternoon, for the first time since last Wednesday, Marty opened his eyes. He looked to where voices were coming from for several minutes. This happened again several times as the day progressed. Erica saw him in the evening and he had his eyes open for about 5 minutes. She also asked Marty that if he could hear her to blink once and he did. While this was exciting for us to witness and though we want to be hopeful we are not sure what Marty sensed from his perspective. Regardless, it was nice to see his eyes again and to witness him responding by squeezing our hands when asked to do so!
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." -- I Peter 5:6,7
