"All of a sudden we're at Monday evening and he's still holding steady, still holding strong, and honestly there were times when the doctors were just baffled by how long he held on."

"We're hoping there could be some niches we can carve out in this area. There's a great thirst for knowledge," said Eugene R. Tempel, executive director of the center based at IUPUI.
