No change. Working on the diagnostics this morning. TEE, cat and I don’t know what else. Since we’re at 40 hours and he’s still not awake we don’t know if he’s in there or not. ---

We’re waiting on the rest of the family to get to the hospital so we can all talk, but it’s basically over. He’s not awake and is showing no neurological reaction. We may go ahead with the EEG but we’re at the end and it’s time to let him go. ---
