October 9, 2008

Levi is doing well today. Kelly says he attempted to say "hi" in a whispered voice, and wave goodbye by slightly lifting his right hand to wave. He opened his eyes very briefly, fluttered and closed them. He said "no" to one of the nurses when she asked him a question and he pulls his pillows out from under him each time the nurses try to make him more comfortable! All of this is wonderful news for us and we will gratefully take it. He is still considered unconscious. They still are not addressing his broken back until his brain is more stable. We did find out yesterday that his left eye socket has lots of tears in it so we don't know if he will have vision in that eye yet. Jenny overheard a nurse say he is "very responsive" which is wonderful!

Kelly - Bro. Jeff Sorensen emailed me about Levi's accident on Tues. We are praying for him and hoping for a full recovery. I just called and heard the message about this blog. Thanks for posting the information - it really helps us all to hear how things are going. Levi is a great guy and we love you all.
Love, Doug White

Thank you so much for the blog. I have been calling to get updates from whoever I thought would know something.

I heard about it several days ago, and have felt like I couldn't do anything but pray.

Please keep us informed, and let us know when Levi can see anyone. In the mean time, please let him know we care.
