>"Not particularly," she says. "I've not been able to spend too much time with him. I have observed, though, that he's not completely gone, though. Once in awhile, he will blink, and I've seen him shift just a little. That makes his condition all the worse, really. He's still there, in some regard, but just not reacting outside of small and probably involuntary things."
