my hubby had a aneurysm ruptured 7months ago. He had been in a deep coma state for 4 months, and the neurosurgeon said he would never wake up. With god's mercy he opened his eyes about 3 months ago, but doctor said he is still in the semi comatose state. There is no eye movement, and his eyes are not reactive to light. He can't talk, and is only responsive to pain or movement (eg: turning him, changing him, doing passive bedside therapy and making him sit up will make him open his eyes). I am eagar to know what other things can I do to stimulate his brain so that the good but sleeping ones can replace the functions of the damaged ones? Doctor said his brain has strunken alot during these months and to make the damaged brain cells replaced by good ones are the only chance for him to get better...

My husband had surgery 2 years ago and The doctors said he had a stroke
The Doctors were wrong. He did come back and it was long and hard I did everything I could think of to stimulate his brain I even had people come and talk to him in Spanish (he is Mexican I don't speak Spanish) Do anything you can think of and as often as you can. It may not work but at least you tried. What your going through is so scary my heart goes out to you along with a hug God Bless and hang in there Your friend Deci Quote:

My heart goes out to you too. When my husband slipped into a semi-coma it was one of the scariest times of my life. He went through kidney failure and sepsis and I was asked what his last wishes were. He eventually came out of it thank God. The difference between him and your hubby was my husband talked through his. Even though the conversations were strange we talked with him. Music was also therapeutic for him. Do you have any cd's or a mp3 player you could put on him? You could try anything that is familiar to him. If he liked to read, get books on cd or read to him even if it's just the newspaper.
No matter what happens, you have us here to support you.

cd player is on almost 24hrs. I also had 'special' cd and headphone for him, meant for music therapy. yes, I read bible to him, I talk to him, I recorded my children's voices, their screams and reading etc, I also read papers to him whenever i can find one... more than 6 months, I have not given up hope and I am not giving up hope, but is tiring... very very tiring...

tuttut15, what you are doing for your husband is so wonderful, and absolutely you sound as though you are doing everything possible. I will keep both of you in my thoughts and pray that your husband comes out of his coma soon. I can well imagine how tired you are, physically, but also emotionally - what you are going through is very draining. I hope you are looking after yourself as well - give yourself time out - get outside and just breathe. Please keep us posted, and know that you can vent on here any time.
Hugs, Nat xx |

Hello there. The story of your husbands recovery gives me a big hope. I just want to know how long did your husband get back from being semi-coma. Thank you and hoping to hear more of your husband's recovery.

Try reading to him. Following the story requires him to use a bit of his brain.

Thank you so much for the advice. My husband suffered from brain aneurism and had his coiling. It was successful because he has been responsive after the procedure. But after a week, he had multiple infarcts and has been comatose for 6 days. When he woke up from coma, it was the most difficult times of our life. He cannot recognize us nor response to any commands. It's been 7 months now and he is only 49 yrs old. But my family never loses hope that one day, he will be back. God will provide and we will keep on praying for his recovery.

Its been a year now since the coiling of my husband's aneurysm, yet there's still no response from him. Still, we cannot communicate with him. But i'm still hoping that one day, he'll come back to us.
