The fact that he is not opening his eyes tonight, or not squeezing our hands tonight, is not an indication of his neurological status.

His chest X-ray looks dramatically better.

The coma at the moment is medically induced. When the medications are weaned or reduced, Mr. McCloy does move; Mr. McCloy does bite down on his tube; Mr. McCloy does appear to flicker his eyelids. All those things are true. I don't want to let anyone think that is some clear indication whatsoever of the nature of the extent of his recovery or injury.

We'll keep him medically sedated as long as possible.

There's no question that I think his age, his vitality, his general health are his greatest allies. Given the extraordinary circumstances we witnessed over the last several days, this is the miracle.

We are working very diligently with keeping those airways open. Right now, that's my biggest concern.
