My mum had a diabetic hypo and fell downstairs and had to have an operation on her brain to release the pressure. She was in intensive care for 3 weeks and they have said that she will be in a vegetative state. They have since moved her onto an ordinary ward, to let nature take its course, but she really seems to be fighting this and now seems to be awake some of the time and seems to be taking things in. Altho is asleep a lot. Please can you tell me if there is ANY hope of her regaining conciousness, I miss my mum so much.

Mine is not a comment but a question:
What is the emergency treatment for a diabetic who has fainted? We didn't know her. We only knew she was diabetic. We had not sugar, juice, fruit or water with us, but she couln't have swallowed anything anyway, as she had passed out.
We didn't know whether she needed sugar or whether she's had too little or too much insuline. We called the ambulance, but is there something we could have done, if we had been unable to call an ambulance? Is there a basic protocol for such case? Eg: alone in a forest or in similar remote circumstances?

I have more of a question than a comment. My cousin was involved in a car accident approximately 3 weeks ago. He is currently in a coma. He opens his eyes but does not respond to anything else. What is his prognosis? Will he wake up? And if so, will he be himself again?

My sister has been in coma since 21 Nov '08. She had a stroke and went into coma in the ambulance, there is no surgery done on her except the insertion of a tybe than later the VT. I would like to know what type of physiotherapy is good for her if we could try to regain her consciousness and any healer advice?
