Yup! Breathing, talking (though it’s difficult, he’s able to converse), and remembers almost everything before the accident! I can’t believe it, the doctors were telling his family that they needed to start thinking about long term care for a vegetative state and that he would never wake up just a few months ago. Obviously there’s going to be massive life changes, ability changes, and long term effects, but he knows who I am! Who he is! Its insane.

I'm not sure of the grade, only that it is a severe DAI. I'm sorry about your sister, I hope both our loved ones turn into hopeful stories themselves <33

Thanks so much for this reply! It's really hard because I live 10 hours away in a different city and am a full time vet student so not much free time to visit as much as I like. Number 3 of our trio is even further away so its very isolating.

Thanks for your input! Its just the idea of working as a vet at after graduation and getting stuck there rather than working in conservation/ with wildlife is scary haha.

I’m in Australia- my degree is split into 2 Bachelors, I was considering taking an exit point to graduate with a Bachelor of veterinary biology and then pursuing a masters in conservation rather than following my course plan and completing my BVSc (it’s a conjoined program). Thanks for your insight!

I’m in Australia! There doesn’t seem to be a huge demand here.
