Although Henry has been occasionally opening his eyes for the past day or so when we talk to him, today he opened his eyes and looked around for us, much more aware and with some level of alertness. He remains on strong pain medications, including morphine, but will start to wake up more and more.
A final few pictures for today to show the difference of a few hours... In the morning (photo on the left), Henry was quite swollen. In the afternoon (photo on the right) after significant amounts of Lasix, Henry looked much more like himself (...and his brothers).
He really DOES look better, fantastic. He's so sweet when he opens his eyes. When he's a teen-ager he's going to give you that same sleepy glance when you try getting him out of bed :)
