Youth always has its advantages.

He couldn’t talk because he has a breathing tube. He was squeezing hands. [And making] facial expressions when talking to his wife.

I’m hopeful that he can make a recovery.

Still critically ill. He’s in our intensive care unit. He suffered some collapse of one of his lungs.

Was he deprived of oxygen for a sufficiently long period of time? We don’t know that. That is something that time will tell.

He responds to stimuli and that’s good. He’s still critically ill, in intensive care, he suffered a collapsed lung.

Having been laying still for so many hours and being poorly hydrated for that period of time has resulted in some kidney dysfunction. We assume that will be a temporary phenomenon while the kidneys recover.

We are now recognizing that it involves his heart, his liver, the kidneys. And so multiple organs are involved, and so he is in critical shape.

In most respects, we think he’s making progress.

He was able to interact a little bit with us. I think that all of that is very, very positive.

I do expect, if the trend continues, that he will improve.

He suffered some collapse of one of his lungs. And we’re trying to reopen that and there’s good progress there.

He is moving and responding to stimuli and the things that we’re doing. It means that he has brain function, central nervous system function if he responds to stimuli. That’s good.

I think youth always helps you. Youth always has its advantages.

He responds to stimuli and that’s good.

Basically, every bodily function was not functioning when he arrived, and I think it’s dramatic that all systems are go, that he’s recovered to such an extent. He’s made a remarkable recovery and far exceeded...

Randy has come through an unprecedented ordeal and continues to improve.

We don’t expect to put him in the chamber and have him open his eyes and start talking to us.

What we’re most worried about is brain recovery. Anybody who suffers anoxic brain injury — inadequate oxygen to the brain — can develop a longtime disability.

I think Randy is a fantastic success story. He exceeded my personal expectations for recovery.

Perhaps Randy — and I am completely speculating — but perhaps he had more oxygen available to him than those who succumbed. I can’t explain why or how, but that would be a logical explanation...

He is more awake, and is able to chew and swallow soft foods. But he is still not able to speak with us.

I think time will tell to what extent he recovers from this.

In the past few hours, I’m happy to report there’s been some improvements.
