Congratulations.
I freepmailed someone wondering how long before a Terri Schiavo mention was made and you're it.
FWIW, Cooper can swallow and is cognizant. This is relevant when drawing equivalencies. I would have liked to have seen guardianship turned over to the parents but so far it doesn't look like that will happen, but it is not the same as locking a healthy person away and withholding food and water.
