Here is today's update on my nephew Andy. They are putting in a breathing 
tube in his throat and more permanent feeding tube as well to prevent 
infection. They tried to pull him out of his induced coma  to test his 
responses but had to put him back in because his blood pressure shot up. 
They had a family meeting and indicated that he will be in for a long haul 
to recovery and they were not real encouraging I guess as to his responses 
at this point, and that amount of brain damage. He does reflex but that of 
a baby when touched and not so much congiscent movements. We are all being 
hopeful and praying, it is hitting me for the first time today that he 
could indeed be a life support case or badly brain damaged and incapable 
of quality  life. I suppose I knew that before, but he was making bits of 
progress which sparked hope but we just have to be patient and let his 
body and God do their work.
