Update #19

Nick opened his eyes today! He couldn’t follow commands, though, but he was blinking and attempting to move them himself. Stay tuned.

They have not taken him fully off the ventilator. When they try, his breathing stresses too much. They’ll continue to monitor that.

His white blood count is low again and they’re not sure why. They’re working to bring it back up. (When it’s low, the prospect of infection is very high.)
