Latest updates on Jerry Lawler
From Kat (Jerry's ex wife) 6 hours ago:
I have an update on Jerry. The docs are removing his ventilation & taking him out of sedation. He is responsive, which is great!!! It took a while to revive him last night so there's the concern of brain damage. He had some tests done which will show how much if any damage there is due to the lack of oxygen to his brain. Unfortunately, the results won't be in until in the morning. I appreciate all the calls, texts, tweets, & Facebook messages of support & I know Jerry will too. Thanks everybody!!
From Brian Cristopher (Jerry's son) 1 hour ago:
Ok, here's the latest real update.
Lauren and I are here at the hospital in Montreal.
He does not look good at all.
He is responsive to questions that he is asked which is very good. His sedation and breathing support are being lowered slowly right now. He was shocked a total of 7 times at the arena and underwent a balloon stint to open up a clogged artery when he arrived at hospital. Everyone out there needs to say a special prayer for his brain at this point, please.
Tests on his brain will not be available until the morning.
One of us two will keep all you guys informed as we know more.
--------------------
So it sounds like he is alive and responsive, but not out of the woods yet. Nobody knows if he has brain damage or not, since he can't talk yet.
It sounds like he was dead for at least 10-15 minutes (under 20 mins) so that means his brain was not getting oxygen for a long time.
