He's been getting steadily better. Last night we got a report that he was talking, sometimes they could understand him, other times they said it was gibberish.

We started talking about it, and were thinking he might have been speaking Russian, since he was a Russian specialist in the NSA for over 30 years. To someone who didn't know or wasn't expecting to hear Russian, it would sound like gibberish.

Got a further update a little bit ago that he's now awake and does respond to his name, which is great news. The doctors told us he would have died within a few hours if we hadn't been there to find him when we did.

Very good news. And the insight about Russian will likely be useful for the doctors.

Did they ever reach a conclusion about what put him in such dire straits? Was it simply untreated pneumonia or was there more to it?
