I guess the good news first always makes more sense before the bad news, because then you would say, he is an in coma, so the good news is kinda obvious that he survived
This actually happened to my uncle but not the bite instead he had a heart attack and he isn't his usual self now but he did get a lot better he still is bed rest and can't talk but he can make some sounds and he started doing sign language!
