Not good(from: http://owstarr.com/marc-orchant-updates-and-information/):

Saturday December 8th, 8:20AM Pacific Time

Well… This isn’t easy. I just got off the phone with Sue Orchant and she has given me another update on Marc’s condition. What Sue tells me is that Marc has essentially failed to improve significantly over the past several days. He has not ever regained consciousness since the event and at this point it is not looking very good.

I hate writing these words. I hate that this has happened. This guy is one of the best, most amazing people. My heart goes out to Sue and the Orchant Family. I wish to god there was something more I could do, some miracle I could conjure. I want to fight this thing but there’s just nothing to fight. We’re still waiting and praying and that is so, so hard….

Wishing Marc a full and speedy recovery!

He’s in my thoughts and prayers….

All the best to his family at this most difficult time….

I’ve been following this website and the MOTR-podcast for quite some time and this way I heard about this tragic situation. Didn’t know or know about Marc before but the same thing happened to my father (who survived and recovered perfectly) and I just wanted to write something.

All my best wishes for your friend to get well soon!

While I was not familiar with his work, the praise that I have seen for him as a person and a friend of mobile technology will have me watching Marcs new work. Hurry up and get Better, Im ready to start!
And to his family, this ia tough time to be going through this, not that anytime would be, but from what I am reading, it has been all positive every day, let us hope we get a good xmas present from Marc, we are waiting!
James, hang tough buddy. You’ve been there and no the kind of people and technology that are behind him!

Take Care all!

thank you for posting another update. i really admire Marc and his work. I am keeping he and his family in my prayers.

Hi JK

Thanks for the updates on Marc. He’s a great guy, and his heart attack has shocked me.

Hang in there, and keep hanging in there for him. He needs it, and I am sure his family appreicates it.

Cheers

I continue to keep Marc and his family in my thoughts.

I have been a big fan of Marc’s for a little over two years now, and it pains me to see him and his family enduring such a tragedy this holiday season.

Get well Marc, we all miss you.

I too have been deeply affected by this. I’ve been a fan of his podcasts, tweets, and blogs for some time.

Hang in there Marc.

I just wanted to post a few words. I have been following the news about Marc. I am deeply moved and troubled by Marc’s accident. I have been through a similar accident recently but I pulled through. I was lucky. I wish Marc the same fate with all my being. Please Marc, come back healthy and whole from this. You can do it buddy. We are all waiting for you.
