Update 4, My Brother
Well, his condition is now moved up from critical to severe. He's doing much better, and he's awake talking away in his bed. They took out one of his draining tubes today, so he's more comfortable now. They also had the physical therapy team in there going through his first exercise. Sitting up without help. Yah! His wife is going to call back later today when he wakes up, so I can talk to him a bit. I can't wait.
