Yes, he started showing signs like he was trying to get control of his eyes. The 1st day out of ICU he started smiling and tracking more. He continued to improve, but started what the call sympathetic storming his 6th wek in the hospital. It has been rough since then because all rehab stopped other than doing range of motion excercuses. He is making his way through the storming and is now in the last stage, but we don’t know how long it will last. Even though the storming is a sign that the brain is active it has to be managed with a lot of medication and it has caused a lot of stress in his body. Once he gets past this he can start the rehab process again.
I will pray for you & your son healing. Do you know how long he was without oxygen? We didn’t know exactly. We think he may have gone with low oxygen for a period of time before he went in to cardiac arrest. We just don’t know.
Don’t lose faith. I feel the doctors really try to push you to give up hope. God is in control. I have heard of others waking up even a month later. Don’t make any pressured decisions. I knew my son would want a chance to live a recover if possible. Even with all the ups and downs during these 4 months post injury I would still make the same decisions.
Praying for you and your familythat God will heal your son and give you peace in your decision making every step of the way. He loves you & he loves your son!
