update from Kris

At the risk of duplication, I'll send this out from Kris' CaringBridge post (which I've tried to hook up to paulkris@googlegroups.com):

A number of things have changed since the last update. Paul had been wearing a neck brace due to a small fracture in his 5th vertebra. The doctors have determined that there is not danger to the spinal cord, so they have allowed the nurses to take the neck brace off. This allowed them to raise and turn Paul which seems to help both with the swelling, and mobility. Paul is moving all of his limbs voluntarily and seems to be responding to specific commands.
Another bit of good news is that he is starting to respond to light shone in his left eye. This was not happening yesterday and this morning. We are hopeful that as the swelling continues to go down, he will continue to show progress in his left eye.
Thanks to everyone who has called or emailed. I cannot answer/respond to everyone, but please know that your thoughts/offers/well-wishes are greatly appreciated by myself and all of Paul's family.
