Taylor responds to verbal requests

Today Taylor squeezed the Nurses hand when directed to, as well as opened and closed his eyes as directed. The staff and Dr. were very happy. We were REALLY happy.

He continues to shed tears when talking to him, telling him that he's safe and will be OK and taken home one day soon. It's clear now that those were tears of emotions - he understands what's being said.

We are continuously warned not to expect the rest of his progress to go as fast, and that this will take a very long time. But, we are encouraged by what everyone in the Intensive Care Unit has described as a fast recovery from a major surgery.
