The Light in Your Eyes

This was the perfect ending to a perfect day! 

We were told they would be lowering the dosage of paralytic drugs today and to possibly expect some twitching. When he first began to move, you can imagine our excitement. It was absolutely incredible to see any form of independent movements. 

He continued to do well through the rest of the day. So after sitting bed side almost all day we decided to take a break and get some dinner. 

When we got back to the hospital THIS is Brad was welcomed back. Even in the ride back to the hospital we were discussing his time line. Both of us anticipated to not see eyes for another week or so. WRONG!!! Later that night we got it again. We could see the jake we love so much coming back to life!!! 

"Life can take your dreams and turn them upside down
Friends will talk about you when you're not around
Reality can really cut you down to size
But don't ever lose that light in your eyes
Don't ever lose that light in your eyes

People make you promises they'll never keep
Soon you'll know why people say, talk is cheap
Life resembles one big compromise
But don't ever lose that light in your eyes
Don't ever lose that light in your eyes

Keep on shining, keep on smiling
Don't lose faith and don't lose heart
When you're crying, just keep trying
To remind yourself you're a shining star, yes you are

Somewhere down the line, you'll face the judgment day
When the angels look at you, what will you say?
They've got a way of knowing who qualifies
Just let 'em see that light in your eyes
Don't ever lose that light in your eyes

Keep on shining, keep on smiling
Don't lose faith and don't lose heart
When you're crying, just keep trying
To remind yourself you're a shining star, yes you are

Don't ever lose that light in your eyes
Don't ever lose that light in your eyes
Don't ever lose that light in your eyes"
