Thanks, BB. On a sadder note, we find Matthew Bollinger's fight is over. Oddly, there have been no news releases from any media other than the initial reports from the local tv stations that the parents were trying to keep doctors from pulling the plug soon. Although we still do not know what happened, he is now dead. In earlier posts, we suspected he may have been prematurely declared brain dead so that parts could be harvested and the parents were frantically trying to get doctors to give the poor kid a fair chance. Then we awaited updates and media coverage which went silent. Here is all we can find on the incident.
