Thanks for the advice. He had a dream last night where someone was electrocuting him.

IN PT therapy, they give these electric jolts to his leg muscle to help activate leg movement. It is working because he can actually move his right leg now. But the therapy is pretty intense.

I asked him if it was his PT guy in his dreams and he said no it looked like the grim reaper. I told him what you said and he said good because he doesn't like scary dreams.

September 16, 2011 my son collapsed on the football field due to a subdural hematoma. He was life flighted to the hospital where they did emergency surgery. At first the DR said that he thought everything would be fine. Then his brain started swelling three days later, he had midline shift to the right side cavity and then the brain herniated onto the brain stem. They did not think he would make it. They stabilized until family could come. After family got there, he began to stabilize. We were counseled to "let him go" because the brain damage would be extensive. We chose life. He was in a coma for 48 days and then a vegetative state for another 58 days. He was considered semi-conscious Jan. 5, 2012. It is now July 2013. He has no short term memory, still is now walking with a walker, and has issues with expressive language, and is incontinent.
