We are down to 50% on the oxygen. This is quite remarkable. Pretty fast progression. This is a good thing.
Also, when you lightly touch Lars' forehead he responds by moving his arms and legs and opens his eyes. The first time this happened in front of his sisters, they were startled. I assured them that this was a good thing.
Once after touching Lars forehead, he opened his eyes and I asked him to give me a 'thumbs up'. He looked at me and recognized that it was his Dad, and gave me a thumbs up. This is quite remarkable also, because he is still on a significant amount of drugs to keep him calm.
Lars had several visitors today. Only family and clergy are allowed to see him in the ICU, but they came to visit us in the ICU waiting room. Thanks to all the church members, family, friends, and swim team members. We know that you all have learned to love Lars as much as we do.

Thank you so so much for the updates on Lars. We have been so worried about him. My son Thomas swims with him and we have grown to love Lars. He is a great kid and we are thinking about him and praying for him.
ReplyDeleteSo encouraged by Lars and his progress. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sending our love your way. Lauren Harmon and family
