Kloots said that this news could be “a huge, big, huge deal” in regards to Cordero potentially waking up from his coma.
“He is very, very, weak still, so it is very slow progress, when they ask him to do things. But they can see he is trying,” Kloots said. “Which is awesome. Obviously it is registering, and he’s trying to do the things that they ask him to do.” “This is such a blessing, I can’t even tell you,” she added. “It’s just so exciting.”
Kloots said that there are still a number of concerns, especially regarding infection, but she said looking forward into the future there are a number of “big, big goals” she’s keeping in mind.
