We believe, as of 12/1/2005, that the funds deposited with COTA in Canon's medical account are sufficient to cover the non-remimursed costs of the transplant operation, plus to cover "normal" medical expenses for a period of two years. Any further funds deposited to his credit with COTA will be available to him over the course of his life to deal with the life-long medical care required to properly care for his transplanted liver.
