My partner had a car accident 4 weeks ago and suffered a severe TBI. He had an op to the frontal lobe and to the left side also. He is on Life support and has a trach due to the Doctor saying the ventilator needed to come out to reduce infection.His shunt was removed from his head 7 days after the op as they were no longer concerned with ICP. He has been battling a temperature for weeks and today I have been informed he is not responding to simulus even though he is no longer sedated. He crashed at a speed of 100mph and the passenger died so was a really bad accident. I have no idea what not responding to simulus means and as I cannot get to the hospital due to the distance i rely on emails from them. The reason I write here is I am hoping someone can give me their realistic opinion of what this means or any experiance of own TBI. Any information would be gratefully received.
