Tonya, glad to hear that he is up and about! As to the "time" they have given him, there is NO one on this earth that can answer that question. He very well could survive this and out live his children. Do a search here on statistics and you will find many good discussions about the subject. Every day is a blessing for any of us. No one knows how many minutes we get. Don't dwell on that at all.

Take care
