[Anwer Pasha]

I am located at Pakistan.Jawad Pasha my son is now 27 years old.He was injured on 13th Septembre 2004 in perhaps a road accident. He is perhaps now world's best manitained and much recovered Persistent Vegetative State or minimally conscious state patient. Details and discussion about his codition can be read after searching about him.We still could not find a way to regain motor function but he is with good health and takes notice of any move. Smiles and laughs but no way to communicate.He has a long history of epilopsy/seizure but we have successfully controled the seizure/fits by using the simple technic of diverting the attention of the patient to somewhere else.

Hello Anwer, and welcome to NeuroTalk!

I am so very sorry about what happened to Jawad. I hope that eventually he has at least some return of function.

Below, I have posted some links to forums where you can get support.

Thank you.Actually I am not good in english and don't know much about computer so often i have to get aid of cut-paste to write.This is a great history about brain injury.We have very less facilities about brain injury so we have often to think and solve our problems ourselves. I am new here so not allowed to post links yet so unable to go in details but our experince regarding dealing with a very severe brain injury could help others. I am trying to help others here and thanks god there is some benifet to them.

Hi Anwer Pasha

I'm glad you found NT

It's a wonderful place, with caring and helping people. There's so much here to research you can get lost so easy. Just ask us if you need to know how to find something, or have specific questions or concerns you want addressed, we will try.

I'm going to start a new thread about an embromic stem cell recipiant I met. She was remarkable. Here is a link I want to share with you and NT

You certainly have a lot of will for your son. He's so lucky to have his family to care for him.

I so sorry about your son. How lucky he is that he has you to advocate for him and search for solutions. Best wishes to you both.

Welcome to the NeuroTalk Forum. Although I am sorry for what has happened to your son, I am glad you found us. I have taken care of many clients in the condition of your son~and have also helped a cousin stabilize after a coma-like state. It is usually such slow, slow progress to watch. I also think your son is very lucky to have you to watch over him.

Thanks to you all. It is a story like a movy.If someone of you can search and read about us.We are hopefull and Jawad Pasha is improving. Due to lack of knoweldge and facilities we are yet little slow but the doctors who have checked him in begining are surprised. It is perhaps less than two years to my first visit to a web site so I could not get any help and sorry to say that there is very less for PVS or MCS on web sites to how to deal.
I need to know more and want to tell more

It is now 6th year.Jawad Pasha is still slowly recovering.He is without motor function even no contol on eyeballs but we tried our best to keep him heathy , fit and hopefull.Thanks God that he is healthy and no medicines since last many years exept a tablet of Apival at sleeping time in night.The other great success is to get rid of Seizures / Fits. In my view in the case of head trauma the patients who become PVS or MCS are basically effected with loss of motor function and consciousness is not much effected. I am also connected with a 17 year old young boy Muhammad Hussain of Pishin Quetta Pakistan who is a PVS since last one year and found him now recovering after using simple ways adopted by us. I have an advise for all caregivers of PVS and MCS patients that turning them after 2-3 hours for avoiding bedsores is not sufficient.A slight movement of arms,legs and body after each 20-30 minutes is necessary to keep blood moving. I found this point after four and a half year but adopting it is giving benifets.
Sorry for my poor English.

May healing continue for your family,,God is good
