Open Eyes - Once, Twice, Thrice

Today when I went to see Aron, he had his both eyes open. I was able to talk him through a few commands and he responded. He was able to flatten his hand out a few times and when I asked him to blink 3 times, he also responded. Then asked him to blink 5 times and he got to 4. After all that activity, you could tell he was taxed so we gave him a break.

Later on that evening, he opened his eyes again, I was looking into both eyes and asked "Aron, its Jordan. If you can see me, blink three times hard." Almost immediately, he blinked three times! It was a determined and decisive action. Needless to say, it was hard to contain our excitement after his response.

Things like this are truly answers to prayer. We need to remember that Aron continues to show marked improvement and not to despair. Keep on praying and have faith, it helps more than we can know.

Love you Aron, and I can't wait to talk to you.
