[quote=Anonymous]My friend's DD suffered a severe brain injury in an accident a month ago and is still in a coma. Her doctors told the parents there's little hope their daughter will ever recover because both sides of her brain are damaged. The parents are devastated to say the least. The hospital seems to want them to give up on their DD. I am wondering if anyone has experience with severe TBI who can offer any hope. Their DD is an athletic high school senior. My research says that if the patient is in a coma more than two months, there's little chance they will recover. So a month is too soon to give up, no? I know the brain is elastic, so I'm wondering if there are alternative therapies that can help? I can't believe there's nothing further to be done -- accupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen therapy? Anything? They are a wonderful family, and this has broken them. Any help or hope most appreciated. [/quote]
