Hi

I am sorry that you and your family are going though this - it is a very scary and uncertain time for everyone.

Bear in mind that this is a massive insult for his brain, and it sounds like he is doing well despite the odds. None of us are doctors, but I do know that the brain takes a long time to heal and each person's response is different. To me, it sounds encouraging that he is awake and alert and has recovered some movement when he is not sedated.

This will probably be a long road for him, and it may seem like two steps forward and three steps back for quite a while, so don't get discouraged if it takes longer than expected.

Good luck and I hope your uncle continues to improve steadily and has a successful recovery.

Please pop in here from time to time and let us know how he is going - or just come here to ask questions, vent, scream cry or celebrate.

Thinking of you and your family

Lyn
