Hello Susan , my father condition has not improved much. He is not conscious . He is on sleep and wake cycles. He cough and yawn . He is on tube feeding. He can feel the touch. He is responsive to pain.he cannot talk or communicate.i am really worried. I don't know if he will be able to recognize me . I have to make a decision ,what should I do.
