They took him off sedation this morning so we can see if he responds to us or follows our directions - whether he can move his hands, look at us directly, etc. This is just to see how his brain is functioning right now... they believe it is fine, but we just want to see some sort of reflexes right now.

I've been trying to talk to him for the past several hours and i've been playing music for him. I made a playlist for him last night of all his favorite songs and songs we used to listen to together so hopefully he can hear 'em. So far he's blinked a couple times, but he is still slowly getting off the sedation meds so it might take awhile for him to have any type of response.
