I called the hospital for an update, and spoke with Ed, Marc’s brotherfrom the East Coast. He said that it is still very touch and go. Therehas been some physiological improvement, some organs have stabilized,but Marc has still not yet regained consciousness. As such, they stillhave no update on brain functioning, or how long he was without oxygen.He has opened his eyes a few times today and tracked light. Ed and allthe family who are there are hopeful that every hour bringsimprovement. Someone is with him all the time, and they are lookingforward to him opening his eyes and saying, "so what’s happening?".

Marc’s iPhone is in his pocket, playing the music that he loves constantly.

The family is grateful for the worldwide support network.

We’re all pulling for you buddy and our hearts go out to Marc’s family in this trying time.
