I'm just really confused about how they could say he had no hope for survival nearly 3 weeks ago, and he's still alive....

Again I am hoping for the best, I really just dont know how this works.

Thanks.

I don't really know what they mean by 'no chance of survival' either. I have heard that doctors have said best-case condition probably is a "vegetable" state.
This week certainly has to be extremely hard for the family considering its Thanksgiving and Ron Springs used to play ever Thanksgiving as a Cowboy and now Shawn can't even communicate with him. I can't imagine how difficult it is and has been for their family.
