Update: Day 11

This post is from Neal's brother Lee:

Hello All,

Neal is doing much better this afternoon.  His eyes are clear and are tracking well.  He's forming words and communicating his wishes.  Today he is asking for a magnetic whiteboard with letters and pens.  And his glasses so he can see the pictures and messages across the room.  He asked Belinda to "hold my hand" and squeezed using several fingers.  His nurse can read his lips, she can convey more complicated sentences.  When it was time to leave for today and we'll be back tomorrow he wiggled his eyebrows.  His current wishes for visitation is immediate family only, while he's still hooked up in this manner.  

-Lee
