Doctors have to wait & see how he responds before they can continue with MRI & other tests as the Ventilator is inhibiting bu nessecary… And until the Phnemonia is cleared up it is preventing Docs from seeing what the underlying problems are. Docs can only speculate on how long he will be in this state. #GetBetterJake You can leave Jake Get-well messages on Twitter @JakeSnakeDDT”
