Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's medical team began discussions early Sunday morning to determine when to begin bringing the prime minister out of a medically induced coma.
Bringing him out of the coma is key to assessing how much brain damage he has suffered since a massive stroke last week. Hospital officials said that an official announcement about Sharon's condition would be made on Sunday afternoon.
