6:30pm We visited Rob at 5:30 and he seemed so sleepy--Marla spoke to him but no response. So when Melissa and I (Denise) were in visiting we asked the nurse if it was from the extra medication they gave him in the morning when they removed the tube. She said, "Oh no, he's responded to me." She went over and LOUDLY in his face said, "Rob, your family is here, open your eyes so you can see them!" At first we were upset with this gruff-sounding lady but it was nice to had Rob open his eyes. In fact, he motioned a little with his fingers, and good thing Melissa could interpret that he wanted his feet rubbed--he nodded when she asked. Mom and Melissa each had a foot to rub. Jen and Landon then visited and he opened his eyes 4 times. Marla went back in and then he was able to see his sweetie. we were happy that he knew we were there. I guess we have to be louder when we visit so he knows we're there. Landon made it here safely--it's so nice to have him here to explain some medical things that we don't understand.
Melissa, Marin and Brian are staying until Thursday afternoon now instead of Monday. That way when Rob gets in a regular room (maybe Monday or so) they can visit with him. Jen and Landon will be here 'til Wednesday because hurricane Katrina is headed right for New Orleans. That will be nice for Rob, too.
Today the thermometer in the car said the outside temp was 109 degrees!
