just got another update from greg's family. he continues to remain stable. the doctors have reduced the sedatives enough that he opens his eyes when his name is called. hopefully they will be able to bring him back steadily and without incident. his family is staying at the hospital in shifts - returning home to get clean clothes and rest, then going back to the hospital to relieve the others. it is taking a lot of energy, but that comes from the love and support from all of us.

another note, i will be joining emily in the woods, so we won't be receiving the updates and posting them until monday night or tuesday. so it's extra important that those who love greg continue to send him healing energy during this time of transition back to the world of sunshine and life!
