Update

I know all of you readers are just clamoring for an update to this story, where the young man's mother refused to wear her seatbelt.  Fortunately after a few days, we were able to remove his breathing tube and he woke up.  He was eventually able to eat and walk, and I discharged him to a rehabilitation hospital late last week.  His brain is mostly functioning normally, though he does have violent outbursts frequently.  He should make a full recovery.

Update #2: His mother is still an idiot.
