Can someone in COMA with 99% of their brain dead still move their head and try to lift it? Does anyone know about this?

Hi. I am not a doctor so I do not have their experience with patients. But I want to tell you this: what they really mean when they said 99% of their brain is dead? Even the brain of elderly people can always generate new cells -a peer-review-paper showed recently (neurogenesis). I do not want give you a false hope, but ask them if they have took MRI, DWI, TAC, EEG, SPECT on their brain and how they have arrived to that conclusion.

Hi I was told that if the coma patient has Apallachi (not sure of the correct spelling) the family can use Sensory stimulation and its a great chance that it may work. My mother is half coma/vegetative state. Does anyone on here knows how to deal with this? Its so hard. I pray but I need more. My mom is only 56.

My boyfriend just came out of a coma and he doesn't remember me, his sister, his twin or anyone. He claims both his parents are still alive and standing in front of him when both are dead, one for many years and the other for almost four weeks now. After the latter mentioned parents death, he was hit by a moving vehicular and has had injuries to the brain. But, his doctor says that their is no damage in the part of the brain that causes hallucinations. Is their any way he could somehow be hallucinating these people in front of him that he claims to see, or could he really be seeing something other worldly? And is their anything that we his friends and family can do to help him recover ???

I am 17 years old, and I am going on my fifth month without my boyfriend, he fell into a coma after attempting suicide and hanging himself. luckily the paramedics found him in time and revived him as much as they could. The first two days the doctors and nurses said he had no hope because he had not responded in any way. The past month he has begun to respond to questions by shaking his head yes or no, this is a big improvement compared to how they said he would not make it, he also has response in his eyes now and moves them around. Trust god, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I am currently waiting for him to wake up to this day. I am not allowed to see him for a very hard reason. But everyday I pray and I write him to let him know I am still waiting. Don't lose hope, and let god be your best friend throughout these hard times
