Are you saying that once the brain is injured, that the person is never going to really heal? Or are you saying that once you reach a certain healing point, that nothing the DR has in mind is going to work? If the later question, a what healing point would that occur? My son has made pretty good progress over a year and a half after emerging from a vegetative state (48 days coma, 58 additional days vegetative state). He has a long ways to go, and I was wondering in YOUR opinion what I should expect or not expect. He is set to have some testing for abilities/lacking abilities that is suppose to give us a better picture. Are you saying that those test are a waste of time? I am not trying to pick apart your post or point out errors...I am just wondering just what I am suppose to do with my son.
