When we arrived at the hospital this morning the nurse told us Bev opened her left eye.  The nurse said she called to Bev to open her eyes while she was shaking Bev's shoulder.  We couldn't believe it so the nurse repeated everything and sure enough Bev opened her left eye.  After doctors rounds today the nurse updated us with the latest plans for Bev.  Bev has 4 tubes in her chest, at this time only one is still set on suction. The other 3 are left to drain on their own. The plan is to remove 2 tubes and leave only 1 of the 2 remaining tubes on suction. Apparently this is the normal step towards removing all the tubes. Bev is scheduled for more x-rays at 5 PM today.  If all is well they intend to repair all of her bone fractures tomorrow.  They will insert the breathing tube at the same time.  The nurse turned off Bev's blood pressure medicine for 2 hours this morning but Bev was unable to maintain the proper levels on her own so it was turned back on. They can't feed Bev through the tube in her stomach until she is off the blood pressure medicine so they will start intravenous feeding once the breathing tube is inserted and the breathing and feeding tubes are removed from her mouth. A collar has been around Bev's neck since the paramedics arrived at the accident. The collar was removed this morning. Bev is looking more like herself each day.
