I just read there is no time table on when they are gonna bring him out of the coma, you get the feeling it's not getting any better at all.
They initially said Monday of this week they would slowly bring him out of it :-\
Poor guy could have never really made any real money being at a British title limit and the money people are raising will only last so long so let's just hope he comes out well enough to function normally and get a decently paid job somewhere.

Nick Blackwell: Injured boxer says he will not fight again.
Nick Blackwell says he will not fight again after sustaining serious head injuries in his British middleweight title loss to Chris Eubank Jr.
Blackwell, 25, was placed in a coma with bleeding in his skull after his 10th-round defeat at London's Wembley Arena on 26 March.
"No that's me done," the Briton tweeted after being asked on the social media site if he would be making a comeback.
"I can't put my friends and family and self through that again."
Blackwell wants to stay in the sport in some capacity and said he holds "no hard feelings" towards Eubank Jr as he continues his recovery.

Charles Martin held a world title, nobody can tell me he is world level.
Is somebody suggesting someone like him shouldn't be able to go back to small hall obscurity?
Nick Blackwell: Brother Dan retires from boxing over fears for sibling's life.

Dan Blackwell - the younger brother of former British middleweight champion Nick - has retired from boxing after fearing for his sibling's life.
Nick Blackwell suffered a bleed on the skull in a loss to Chris Eubank Jr in March and was put in an induced coma.
Dan, 23, a journeyman who won only seven of his 61 fights but was stopped just once, decided to quit before learning his brother would recover.
"I thought my brother was dead - just that thought..," he said.
The father-of-two said he did not want to put his family through what he experienced when waiting for Nick to wake in hospital.
"What I went through with Nick was horrible," he added.
"I sent a message to my girlfriend [Chantelle]. I was a mess on the night, saying 'I'm sorry for what I put you through, if you felt 1% of what I'm feeling now. I'm never going to box again'."
Nick Blackwell woke from his coma on 2 April, calling it the "toughest fight of his life" but saying he held "no hard feelings" towards Eubank Jr.
The injuries the 25-year-old suffered mean he will never again fight as a professional, and Dan admits he is "upset" at the thought neither will box in the future.
"Not being able to do it again is horrible," added the full-time bricklayer, whose only stoppage defeat came against Welshman Liam Williams.
"My mum [Cindy] has never liked me and Nick boxing. But I've always done what Nick's done.
"I don't want to be still in boxing, fighting and all the rest of it, knowing he can't fight. With him, I don't think it's sunk in yet that he's not fighting anymore."
