Thank you, everyone...I truly appreciate it.
I learned more today. They began the warming process after having had him in an induced hypothermia state. From what I have been told, they induced hypothermia to try and preserve brain function.
At current, one of his pupils isn't responding at all to light, while the other is slow to react. His kidney functions aren't at normal levels, his PH level is at 7 (which I learned is bad, it should be 7.5 or 7.6), his blood pressure is higher than it was yesterday, but is not where it should be.
Yesterday he was very slightly trying to override the ventilation (which I'm assuming means he was starting to try and breath on his own?) but today he wasn't.
From what I've been told, the outcome looks grim at this point, but everyone is still trying to hold onto hope, because there's always the chance it could suddenly turn around. My aunt has said that she feels at peace - she's a Christian, and she can feel everyone's prayers for her. So I thank you all so much again, it really means a lot to me, and to her as well I'm sure.
Tomorrow they will be deciding what they are going to do, depending on the results of how he reacts to being out of the hypothermia state. I'll try and post another update once I find out more.

Thus far, there haven't been any major decisions made as far as I know. He still isn't stable so they can't move him anywhere and he's still in ICU and in a coma.
They think he has pneumonia. As far as the cause to him collapsing, they found that his left ventricle artery was operating at 20%, and they think that caused it. He has some lower brain function but no higher brain function. The doctor said he could regain the brain function, but he didn't seem optimistic. They did a cat scan, and couldn't see any signs of anything that would keep him from recovering brain function, so that at least is hopeful news. He also was trying to override the ventilator they had him on, which is also good.
Overall the doctors aren't optimistic, but they do still keep saying there's hope. Our family is still standing in faith and praying for a miracle. I thank you again for your prayers, they've meant a lot.
