Mom is opening her eyes when stimulated, including when she hears voices.  I was able to get her to raise her left arm by asking her to, although there is little else that she can actually move very demonstrably.  I wish I could tell whether she knows who or what she is looking at when she opens her eyes.  We’ll just have to wait a while to find that out, I guess.

Most of her vital signs are normal now.  They have slightly lowered the flow of oxygen, and she still maintains high blood oxygen levels.  They continue to use medicine to induce diuresis, so that she loses the over-abundence of fluid she has built up; she is down about four liters since Saturday night, which is almost ten pounds.
