Update.
We had somewhat of a step backwards today, but I’m going to consider it an overall positive. I was sitting in his room with him, when he suddenly started choking and he flat-lined. Apparently he’d suddenly started to try and breathe by himself, but the stress of fighting against the breathing machine caused him to basically shut down. But they revived him, and now he’s doing a pretty good job of breathing, though he’s hooked up to an oxygen machine just in case. Still hasn’t woken up though. The doctors say we shouldn’t get our hopes up just yet, because breathing is a function of the brain stem, but they still haven’t mapped any significant cerebral activity. Fuck some doctors. He has to get better.
