4. He's Alive

He's alive, though he almost died.

He's lucky. Most aren't sure how survived; they only know he did. Some aren't sure about the "has" yet, because head injuries are fickle and there's no such thing as being out of the danger zone with them.

He's closer to the edge than he was ten minutes ago: eyes brimming with tears is a definite improvement to eyes looking like they were painted with watercolours. And an ECG that regularly spits out a short beep is better than an ECG droning a long monotone.

He's alive, and they can all go from there.
