She Openned Her Eyes
They put Lydia back on the normal respirator today. After they did this they took her off of the paralytic medicine. She started to move and open her eyes. It was so nice to see life in her again. After she started moving she had some quick spikes in her blood pressure. They decided to be precocious and sent her down for a CAT scan on her brain and they hooked her up to 23 more wires to do a brain wave test. Basically they think that she was dreaming or something like that that was causing the quick spikes in blood pressure. These happened after they changed her pain medicine to morphine and took her off of the paralytic. They wanted to be precocious and make sure that it was not a seizure. The unofficial doctors reading of the test were that she is all right, and it was just the medicine change. Other than that she is doing good. Here are some pictures below.

Spenc and Lydia enjoying some brocolli (at least the taste of it for Lydia since she just sucks out the flavor and spits it out)
Wow, it is as though she is breathing with new life...with her eyes open like that. Oh, that was wonderful to see! She has so many thing attached to her. I am sure you're anxiously awaiting the day when you can hold her free of those many wires and things. Thanks for a second update, Brian. :) I like the flower.
