From Brad Boyer ...

No real change in Marty from the last couple of days.

He tries to talk, but is still having difficulty. You can understand him if he's answering yes or no, but if he tries to talk in sentences, it's difficult to understand. Still don't know if this is stroke related, or respirator removal related.

Still on a feeding tube. They tried to see if he could eat on his own, but he was unable to swallow on his own, so the feeding tube is still in. No timeframe on how long.

If there are any changes, I'll let you know.

Due to the fact that Marty's condition is fairly steady and there could be no big changes in his daily condition, Brad will be sending updates only when they are warranted. That means we could go a few days with no updates.
