[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 749817, member: 18958"] Gosh. I am not getting alerts of new posts on this thread and did not realize you were continuing to post updates. I am sick at heart for these twists and turns and don't have the knowledge to understand why this would happen. His being able to summon presence and then falling back. This is heart-breaking. I will continue to pray. What else can we do? People stay in comas for a long time and then return with full faculties and capacities, like Apple describes. So, he shall too, praying to g-d. Please tell this mother if you can that people all over are praying for her and her child. ____ [LEFT][COLOR=rgb(20, 20, 20)]I just read this on a site for nurses.
