Mr. McCloy remains in critical but stable condition. He had an uneventful night.

I am thrilled to report we have had terrific success overnight.

He remains critically ill. We're still in the process of trying to stabilize his system.

I think that Working Hearts is a wonderful example, with the providers in the health-care community coming together and committing to the important cause of recognizing and treating women with heart disease.

I think there's a lot of personal interest in Mr. McCloy getting back to West Virginia.

That does constitute a serious issue. .Ê.Ê. We are working very diligently with keeping those airways open.

The fact that he is not opening his eyes tonight, or not squeezing our hands tonight, is not an indication of his neurological status.

We are working very diligently with keeping those airways open. Right now, that's my biggest concern.

We think that he is clinically stable. No, he is not out of the woods yet. There are still issues. This is going to be a long recovery.

We think that he is clinically stable. He is not out of the woods yet. There are still issues. This is going to be a long recovery.

We'll keep him medically sedated as long as possible.

There's no question that I think his age, his vitality, his general health are his greatest allies. Given the extraordinary circumstances we witnessed over the last several days, this is the miracle.

There's no panic. There is certainly a sense of concern. He's in critical condition.

These are two very, very important milestones as we progress.

His condition remains critical but he has been stable overnight. There have been no adverse events.

The coma at the moment is medically induced. When the medications are weaned or reduced, Mr. McCloy does move; Mr. McCloy does bite down on his tube; Mr. McCloy does appear to flicker his eyelids. All those things are true. I don't want to let anyone think that is some clear indication whatsoever of the nature of the extent of his recovery or injury.
