BRYAN STOW’S CONDITION HAS BEEN UPGRADED FROM CRITICAL TO SERIOUS. THAT’S BECAUSE THE SCOTTS VALLEY MAN (WHO WAS SEVERELY BEATEN OUTSIDE DODGER STADIUM AFTER THE SEASON OPENER MARCH 31ST) IS NOW BREATHING WITHOUT A VENTILATOR, OPENING HIS EYES, AND FOLLOWING SOME BASIC COMMANDS. HE IS ALSO SUCCESSFULLY OFF SOME OF HIS ANTI-SEIZURE MEDICATIONS. ALTHOUGH THE MEDICAL STAFF AT SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL HOSPITAL REMAINS OPTIMISTIC, IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MUCH STOW WILL RECOVER.
