The heart of the matter
Jim Ross posted a heartfelt blog on the condition of his wife in which he seemed optimistic about her well-being. He said that he hopes the swelling in her brain reduces soon, which is a necessary sign of her recovery.

To see one's life partner and love of one's life being kept alive via life support equipment is tragically heartbreaking."
