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.

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'll keep him medically sedated as long as possible.
