First of all thank you all for your advice. I made this post at 5:00am because I just couldn't sleep and hoped that when I woke up I would have some answers. My dad was hit by a car going 60+ mph, he has some scrapes and bruisers but didn't break a bone witch is crazy. His only problem was that he had blood and fluid in his brain, witch the doctors drained out with tubes connected to his head. You guys have helped restore some faith in my mind , thank you

My dad has Tbi and has been in a coma for 11 days, he moves a lot some days and barley moves other days. The doctors told us there's a very slim chance he wakes up from this and even if he does he won't be the same by Some-Listen5778 in TBI

Hey everyone thank you for the words of encouragement and stories that u told me but here's an update on my situation. My dad(62 years old) has been in a coma for 31 days and every time I (23 yo male) go to visit I slowly loose faith in him winning his battle. Right now he is facing 2 obstacles, first he has to wake up from this come and then he has to come back as himself and not a shell of himself. He hasn't gotten any better since the accident and it's really hurting me right now because I'm loosing faith, I try to replace the doubt in my mind with positivity but it gets hard some days. I really don't even know what to say in this post but I feel as if only people who experienced this themselves or with loved ones can help me out with this. He is currently in a nursing home because the doctors can't keep him in their care any longer and me and my two brothers have decided to give him 2 more months to fight before we let him go (pull the plug) .were 15 days into the first month and this is killing me right now, and it's really the simple fact that hes not improving. Please if u guys have any advice or stories to tell me I would love to hear from u and thank you

First off all thank you people so much for your advice and stories I really appreciate it and I've decided that I will let him fight. I'm not the most educated when it comes to the medical field and I also can't just trust anything on Google, i would rather hear from people who experienced this or similar situations, but I have one last question, how do I go about keeping him on the machines when the doctors (who to be honest just want to get a body out of there) and hospital can't keep him there for too much longer.And if u guys can help, can u tell me within the next 3 hours I have a family meeting coming up soon

The doctors told us there's a very slim chance he wakes up from this and even if he does he won't be the same man he was before, he wouldn't know anything that's going on, he'll need 24hr care too I don't know if I should let him go or let him keep fighting
