- Dianne continues to show progress with little increments of improvement. She's more consistent in opening her eyes and has nodded her head for 'yes' several times this evening. She does not move her hands or fingers. She seems to recognize family members.
- Dianne started to open her eyes and has been more responsive. She seems to blink when asked certain questions. She has not been able to squeeze anyone's hand. Her hands are still tied down so that she doesn't pull out the tubes as she awakes.
- Dialysis from 7:30 - 11:00
- Dianne is responding to voices, but still coming out of the sleep medicine.
- They have replaced the tube that goes into her stomach (through her nose) with a smaller one. They will start to put liquid foods into this later today. This one will go directly into her intestines, to get her intestines to start digestion.
- She has also recieved a medication in her IV to help her calm down a bit. The process of waking up out of the sleeping medication can be tramatic for her, so they want her to calm down a bit, lower her heart rate, while this is all happening.
