If you've noticed that we've been decreasing the pace of our medical updates, you've probably also noticed that there's unfortunately not much changing on a day to day basis. The Prime Minister underwent a tracheotomy on Sunday - although he is breathing on his own, he is still being aided by a respirator and the tube was damaging his throat. The tube was then connected directly to the trache, but it malfunctioned overnight and had to be replaced.
Reports from his family to the effect that he had opened his eyes have been declared by doctors to be of "no medical significance". The Prime Minister remains comatose, and the longer he remains comatose the worse the situation becomes. He now has very little chance of ever awakening, and almost no chance of regaining even functionality.
