This morning, Suzie and I wen to visit Taylor and learned from his nurse that he had opened his eyes!! After 10 days he opened his eyes!
I stood on his right side and Suzie on his left. We each held his hands and told him we were there. He opened his eyes and we instantly knew we had our son back. The rush of excitement was overwhelming. It's just impossible to describe how badly we wished for that day.
We told him he was safe, and told him not to be scared. We told him he had been in an accident and that he was feeling funny because of the medication. We assured him we would not leave until we took him home.
While we talked to him, his eyes filled with tears that ran down his cheek. We were never as happy to see tears on his face than at that moment. We knew then he knew we were there.
Seconds after he opened his eyes, my cell phone rang. I quickly sent it to voice mail, but later checked the time of the call. It was 10:39am. We have marked this date and that time as his second Birthday. This date will always be a day of celebration for us. It was the beginning of a second chance of life with Taylor.
