UPDATE JULY 18 2009
Things are starting to look a little better. My aunt is mostly off the ventilator. She's initiating breaths on her own and just has assistance from the ventilator which is a good sign. She's also opening her eyes and looking at you when you talk to her, though we think that sometimes she has trouble focusing. Last night she followed a hand up and down in front of her face. We think her right side might be paralyzed as she won't look to the right and that eye is a little bit crossed but slowly she's making some progress.
