Clare sent me this story last night. She says she won't be writing much at this point, but just had to share this story because she was the only one there.
"During my nightly before-bedtime visit I was in with Nephi and got to talking about him with his night nurse, Dave. I was enjoying letting someone so responsible for his care get to know him better, and enjoying remembering lots of little aspects of his personality. While speaking I looked over and saw (what was in all actuality probably just from his eye drops that they give him) what looked like a tear right at the corner of his bruised left eye. I was in a sentimental mood, so I reached up my finger to wipe it off his eye--in what I imagined was a romantic, loving way--but somehow just poked him a little. Yes, I poked him in his eye. His bruised eye. And he flinched. A real flinch, just like he would under any other circumstance in which I would have poked him in the eye. Dave politely told me that in the future he would take care of keeping him clean. I will try and obey."

While Brandon and I were visiting him around 2:00, when we got to the hospital we also noticed a tear fall from his left eye. :D I love that boy Darrin!
Clare, and family:
We were so saddened to hear of Nephi's accident. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Take care of yourself so you can take care of him. He's such a fighter. And thanks for the blog & it's updates
