Back To Life, Back To Reality

He's awake. But it's been a rollercoaster. My brother is currently being weaned out of his coma and we are all tremendously relieved. "Relieved" doesn't quite cover it actually. His doctors thought he would only be under for a day, maybe two at most, but he had two more seizures after they knocked him out so they chose to wait a little longer to wake him up. So far, he seems okay. He's still waking up and it'll be a few days before he's fully conscious and, we hope, lucid. Once that happens the doctors will run more tests and figure out what the next step is. In all likelihood, he will have to have the brain tumor removed soon. But that's a problem for another day. Right now we're just happy he's awake.
