Sis-In-Law reports:
"Recovery from surgery was fine last night, he is stable. Lungs and heart sound fine, if he was aware enough he could come off the ventilator but not the case so far. Neuro just took a look at him and are going to do some more scans of his head and neck. They reviewed the MRI in front of me from the other day seeing possible areas of stroke and showing me the areas of bleeding. Basically concluding that this will be difficult to wake up from and there are strong possibilities of disabilities for a long time, maybe forever. To what extent is unknown, he says some never wake up, some recover and can live a virtually normal life. Still have to go day by day to see if he can regain consciousness."
Dammit, that's not near so positive as the previous prognosis.
Many expletives expressed.
