I spoke with Virginia this afternoon. It does not look like there will be a miracle here, in all probability David is brain dead. The neurologist was supposed to meet with her & her son this afternoon to give them the results of the latest tests, but they have been told to prepare themselves. She said that she and her son, David Jr., spent the morning at his bedside and were able to tell him the things they needed to such as how much they love him and how if he needs to go on, they will be ok. She said that after they talked to him, his seizures stopped. Virginia said that if the doctor tells them what they expect, they will stop the life-support measures and let David go. She knows it will not be easy, but she also feels like it's the only thing she can do and would be the right decision. I have to say that I agree with her, if he is brain dead then he is gone and no amount of machinery will ever be able to bring him back. The family is still in need of prayers, I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is on them.
