There are a lot of factors involved in brain injury. Your question is pretty general-for instance, I'm wondering how long she was anoxic, how serious was the brain injury, what is her condition now, how old is she, etc. Generally speaking, the brain is a pretty wonderous thing and after an injury there is usually some recovery, although again, it depends on how severe the injury is. It can take a long time to see results, and sometimes the recovery is hard to predict.
I have seen patients with terrible brain injuries recover function that no one expected, but it took a lot of time and physical and occupational therapy. In order to talk about your sister's situation, I would need to hear more about it. Are you comfortable sharing more details?
I'm sorry you and your sister are going through this. Brain injury is really difficult to deal with emotionally. Please let me know if you can share more information so we can talk about it further.
