Says if no damage he will basically just be fine when he wakes up as far as brain activity goes. But says even then would need some heart tests, procedure maybe, pacemaker, etc. Also says worst case scenarios are still a possibility for when he wakes up such as paralyses, severe stroke effects, etc. but that if he was being given good CPR acted on quickly these things are greatly reduced as possibilities.

Thank you so much for all of your updates and info. It’s been invaluable to many of us.
