Colby Cave's condition remained dire Wednesday, according to his wife.
"Please wake up. Please wake up," Emily Cave wrote on Instagram. "It’s all I can keep asking, 'he’s going to wake up right?'"
Doctors at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto placed the 25-year-old Edmonton Oilers center in a medically induced coma Tuesday to stop a brain bleed.
The team posted on Twitter that doctors removed a colloid cyst that was causing pressure on Cave’s brain Tuesday.
Hospital precautions due to the coronavirus pandemic mean the family cannot be in the same room as Cave.
"We need a miracle," Emily Cave added. "Colby’s parents and myself, got to see him through a window and talk to him with a walkie talkie last night. We are no longer allowed to be in the hospital because Covid-19 rules. We have no idea when we will be allowed to see him again."

Please wake up. Please wake up. It’s all I can keep asking, “he’s going to wake up right?” We need a miracle. Colby’s parents and myself, got to see him through a window and talk to him with a walkie talkie last night. We are no longer allowed to be in the hospital because Covid-19 rules. We have no idea when we will be allowed to see him again. The nurse has tied his wedding band to his ankle. I am dreaming of being able to touch you, hear your voice, squeeze your hand (3 times), and kiss you again. I love you so much, and my heart is shattered into a million pieces without my best friend 💛✨ Out of difficulties grows miracles- 1 Peter 5:10
