Just a few hours ago I was standing by Britney's side holding her hand and asked her to open her eyes. She has been very sleepy with a lot of sedation and pain medicine. She opened her eyes half way and moved her eyes to look at my face. They nurse asked her to close her eyes as tight as she could if she could hear us and she did. We asked her to do it again if she could hear us and she did. About 20 minutes later I was on the other side of her holding her other hand and asked her to open her eyes and look at me. She opened her eyes and looked where I had been 20 minutes before. I said I'm over here and she looked at me for about 30 seconds. They have been giving her more sedation and pain medicine because she has been more aware this evening. She had a very relaxing 2 days. Tomorrow will be a big day for her. Have a good night everyone.

    Dear John, Britney and family;
    Just a quick note to let you know that the Oldson family (Carlie Oldson's inlaws) have Britney and your family continually in our thoughts and prayers. We are no strangers to trials and we know that your family will get through this with the help of our Heavenly Father and many friends and family who care so deeply about your family. We appreciate the blog you have created so we don't have to keep bugging Carlie for updates. May our Heavenly Father's choicest blessings be with Britney and your family at this time of healing! Love, Ron and Debbie Oldson in Draper, UT.
