Otto is in good hands now and I hope and pray he will recover.  So sad.

Can someone fill me in? I was on the phone on and off during the press conference.   Did the doctors find out why Otto has the extensive loss of brain tissue and why is he experiencing 'unresponsive wakefulness"? Thanks

oh dear.  his brain has died in many areas -"severe loss of tissue" - due to some event, possiblycardiac or respiratory arrest when blood stops flowing to the brain.  no evidence of botulism, fractures.he is in a state of unresponsive wakefulness.  no purposeful interaction. the family wants no discussion of what the future holds for him.  sounds bad as to hope for a real recovery.   looks like a very big tragedy.

Sounds as if he is brain dead, and they are just keeping his body "alive" by machines.

 

Maybe some good will come from it, and that the family will donate his organs, so that another may live.

 

Sounds as if his soul has already left and is in Heaven.

 

 

 

Realistically, he is already gone.

 

 

 

Prayers for the family as they deal with this most difficult time.

Otto will soon be transferred to a skilled nursing facility I'm sure.  How awful for his family, but at least he is home.

His condition is not good.  My prayers to him and his family and to the doctors who will be treating him.
