Of the two Wesleyan University students in critical condition after an MDMA overdose earlier this week, one remains at Hartford Hospital.

According to the Hartford Courant, the patient's family is not disclosing details of the person's current condition. All that is known is the student had to be taken to the hospital by airlift with another student early Sunday morning.

Less than a week after the overdoses involving 10 Wesleyan students and two visitors, four other students were arrested for the alleged distribution of the drug better known as Molly or ecstasy.

Eric Lonergan, 22, Rama Agha al-Nakib, 20, and Zachary Kramer, 21, were arraigned in court Wednesday and charged with distribution of the drug that caused the 12 people to be hospitalized. The fourth person arrested, Andrew Olson, 20, is scheduled to appear in court March 3, the Courant reported.

Of the 12 students hospitalized after overdosing on what police believed to be a "bad batch" of Molly, four admitted themselves on their own, the rest had to be transported. Only one remains in the hospital.

"It is difficult to put into words how deeply grateful we are for the generous outpouring of love and support that we have received over the last few days. We are profoundly grateful to the teams at Hartford Hospital that went above and beyond to save our child's life. Thankfully, against all odds, our child will survive this terrible ordeal," Hartford Hospital said in a statement on the patient's family's behalf. "We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to the Wesleyan community - the administrators, faculty, and students - for their concern and support. And we are thankful as well for the expert work of the Middletown Police Department."

The Associated Press noted that court documents indicated the distribution of Molly on the Middletown, Conn. campus was "an open secret." Moreover, the overdosing incident came at a time when Wesleyan was attempting to get tougher on drug dealing on campus.

"This is an issue where there is no disagreement on the board. You want a policy which keeps students safe. You don't want them to experiment with all this sort of stuff," Tucker Andersen, a Wesleyan trustee, told the AP. "You want to get the message out loud and clear that nobody in a position of authority is in favor of addictive and dangerous substances, but that doesn't mean you have to close your eyes to that it's going to occur anyway."
