Manny update

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

There is news. They did a CT scan of his brain on Tuesday and determined that there is no change from the EEG that was done. Which means there is no discernible brain activity. So while the brain stem and involuntary actions are working, he is in a vegetative state and will likely remain that way, with little to no chance of recovery.

This is all very sad, but the family is handling it, and we are supporting each other. I spoke to some parents at James' school, who apparently read this blog, and they expressed their condolences and support, for which I was thankful. There really has been a tremendous amount of support on the web through all of this, and I hope to take the time at some point to gather it all up in a document and pass it along to Connie. In the mean time thank you on the family's behalf for all of the expressions of support in this terrible time.
