Does the latest update make them more optimistic

 

I would say so, nuerologically intact means there is no damage to the nerves or vervous system that would otherwise cause a person not to be able to function in a neurological sense, like impaired movement or impaired thought process. It's a medical term, I believe.

Amazing. Absolutely thrilled to hear he is awake and responsive. Have to imagine this will be a huge motivation for the team

F**king great news!  My impression is lung damage/pulmonary edema is the driving factor now, which should be recoverable.  🙏 🙏 🙏

Amazing news with this update.  Thank you to the entire medical team that treated and is treating Damar.  They truly saved the life of a young man who will do great things.

This is great news. Neurologically intact can mean many things, but in general it means he is awake even while on the ventilator, he follows commands such as squeezing hands, and that he is moving all four extremities.  Way way too soon to talk about any cognitive long term issues but this is a major positive sign.
