But nothing compares to what the Jaramillo family is going through all of the hurt, all of the pain, all of the anger, Shields said.
And David, he s going to wake up to this and realize I don t have my brother anymore, Shields said.
The brothers were underwater for 10 minutes before they were rescued by first responders Saturday, Shields said.
David has opened his eyes on occasion, asking what happened, Shields said, adding that David was briefly taken out of his coma and was able to answer questions by wiggling his fingers and toes.
