Sunday night: Still mostly asleep although they have reduced the sedative now and he is partially breathing by himself, although still on the ventilator as he forgets to breathe quite often. He opens his eyes sporadically and knows I am there but isn't fully aware of what's going on.

Monday night: managing to breathe by himself and has managed without the breathing tube for a couple of hours - its possible that they may put it back in overnight if he needs it. L is still very groggy, restless and drifting in and out a bit but he managed a tiny smile or two (mostly for the nurses - none were aimed at me!) and was able to raise his hand when the doctor asked him to.
