Today at 5:05pm, Torrey very briefly opened his eyes.
This was witnessed by my Dad who had been coincidentally reading his bible at the time.
He briefly looked up and saw Torrey's eyes open. Within 30 seconds they were closed again.
He was in the middle of his dialysis treatment when this happened. The doctors indicate that dialysis is very taxing on a patient; we didn't see any other expressions on his face for the rest of the evening, but I assume he is getting some much needed rest.
Let's hope for more tomorrow.

Monica, this is WONDERFUL news!!! I can't begin to tell you how excited I am for you all, and anxiously awaiting for positive signs from Torrey.
Also, I wanted to share with you that Jeff was in a coma for 9 days, and when he finally opened his eyes for the first time it was thrilling! After that he would periodically do it again, with the occurances getting closer and closer together until at one point he just stayed awake.
So, hang onto your hope with a rock hard grip and just keep doing what you're doing...it's working! And know that I'm always here if you need someone to talk to, day or night. {{hugs}}

I was watching Curb Appeal last night on HGTV and the family decided to add three large gnomes to their front yard as part of their new landscaping. So of course I thought of Torrey. Will you tell him that if he wakes up and gets better that I promise to buy him a gnome of his own? I just want him to get better!!!
