(29,257 posts)Thank you everyone for you replies.
The update I have is ...well, maybe at least gives some hope, but it is faint indeed.
I was told that he got some color back in his face and his hand maybe is moving a little.
I don't know if it is much hope, but it is some. I will visit him this weekend.
I have another friend who had an uncle in an accident and he had a twitching finger...stayed as a vegetable for 7 years before he finally died....
All I can do is hope.
But I have come to understand, through reading, that this is truly a sickness and it has no bearing on what kind of a person he is. He is the great guy I knew -but he has an illness. I'm gonna go with that.
He fell. That's all. Maybe he was "up" and slowed or stopped his meds. I don't think he had this planned. I think it was a quick decision.
