They also said his blood pressure went up, so they had to take him to the ICU. Right now, he&#8217;s on the ventilator machine. He&#8217;s unresponsive and they&#8217;re telling us that some part of his brain is damaged, so there&#8217;s a 40 per cent chance of him waking up,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I believe that with God in the vessel, anything is possible. So, I am not going to give up. The doctors are telling us that they are only going to give him two weeks on the machine.&#8221; Thompson says her brother had no pre-existing conditions, and she was able to speak with him before his condition worsened.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Tuesday we talk and him did all right.
