My sister just sent me this wonderful update:

The RN tested her responsiveness this evening, and when she inflicted a little pain on her left hand, she raised her thumb. And when she inflicted pain on her right hand, she turned her head towards the right. She has remained off sedation since the surgery this afternoon. Her blood pressure and ICP levels look good. They will not start sedatives unless these numbers become alarming. She is opening her eyes about ¾ of the way now spontaneously. She looks so much more comfortable without all the tubes on her face.

This is definitely more praises to God!!! Thank you for your prayers.
