Dear My czn is toom accident that date 9 almost done 5 days and his scale is 7 and he is 26 years old can anyone tell me its possible to recovers thanks. Hi Jan. I was placed in an induced coma for 2 days and has d. Reading through these comments bring back so much pain, I just lost my dad to a horrible car accident.

He lost control of his vehicle and suffered many injuries, his whole left side of his brain had a stroke, he literally started swelling within 24hrs of his car accident. His GCS score was 3 and writhing the days of him being in the trauma center he was not on any sedation and his score remained a 3. I hate thinking that drs did not do everything in their power to save him. He was so young and it hurts so bad, I guess I just hate knowing that a lot of my family members who I have lost have died in that hospital.

Please do everything you can for him! Remember to you he is just a check, you will have another case today tomm the next but to me that is my dad a brother a grandpa a husband. I guess it was just so hard because through the entire process because of covid we were not allowed to be by his side. We only got one hr one hr before he passed.

I am so very sorry to hear of your dad's accident and his death. May he rest in peace and may you and your family find peace also. My brother-in-law has a GSC of 5 and has been between a for 8 days.

He was found unconscious for unknown amount of time with fever of He is in acute renal failure, on a ventilator, no sedation, and still unresponsive. They said his crit level is a 7 and climbing and want to start dialysis. Not sure he will pull thru with a constant GSC of 5 of 8 days. Any feedback? He is a drug addict and did have meth laced with fentanyl in his system. I was in a bad car wreck going 65mph in a head on collision in Alaska.

I lost consciousness and woke up when the first responders got there. I lost consciousness at 5 times. They ended up intubating me and putting me on a ventilator. I have migraines on a daily basis and the migraines vary in severity. I have dizziness. When I woke up, I could only see 6 inches in front of my face. I now wear glasses with prescription, prisms due to convergence difficulty, and tint due to light sensitivity.

I used to be intelligent. I graduated at 16 from high school and went to college for pre med. I have difficulty remembering details and recent things that happened when before I had a photographic memory and could remember everything that I was told once. If the PA over my case is not the subject matter expert then why is she working at a physician in the TBI clinic?

I live in San Antonio, TX. You seem pretty intelligent now based off your response. I hope you were able to find someone who could actually help you. My daughter was recently in a major car crash. After a while, it just seems like they write their patients off. Like nothing more can be done. Despite all the newest and latest research out there! I feel you. Highly intelligent; technical job. My concussion was also classified as mild because concussions are measured on the Glasgow Coma Scale. The test result should be NT not testable and the total score doesn't include eyes assessment.

My husband was in a motorcycle accident, he was thrown from his bike he was not helmeted, he had gave his helmet to a passenger. Well he was GCS 3.

The severity of his injury was so bad that he had 3 hemorrhages which was non-operable The neurologist advised us that his prognosis was very poor. He had 5CT Scans with no change. He was swelling on day 2, the family decided without me to take him off the ventilator.. I just got his medical records and read through them I believe if he lasted 9hrs before he passed, if they only left him on for a week to really see if there would be any changes, but because the swelling was so severe and they could not relieve the swelling the family decided to take him off.

He had an hemorrhagic stroke as well and some brain bleed. Keep us in your prayers if you can. I am sorry for your loss. My year-old cousin is in a deep coma, GCS 3. She is also on a ventilator and has no response to light, pain or anything. Her brain has swollen due to homerrhage and had 2 cardiac arrests in the same day. Doctors said her condition is inoperable and that she may die any minute. We are very devastated and hope that she will wake up one day.

I am a motorcycle rider as well. It makes me so sad to read this. So sorry for your loss! Stay strong! Greetings from Austria, Wick. So sorry that happened to you Rebecca. My son was hit by a car Dec. Drs said I need to put him in a care home where he can age safely and securely We could not accept that. As a family we did every possible thing to help him recover I stayed in that province for almost a year. Every time he made a bit of progress the dr would say that was coincidence or that's all he will be able to do.

I took over his complete care so he wouldn't be a burden on the nurses as I was scared they were going to xfer him to a care home. Almost one year later Corey walked out of that hospital with the exact same personality he had before.. He will always have to live with us as the accident left him with short term memory loss and some cognitive impairments so he's on disability but his sight came back after about a year!

We also weaned him off all the antipsychotic medications they had him on Everyone out there.. Thank you, I needed to hear this. I have faith, but it's hard to keep that up all the time. I scream, I cry, I have a breakdown every day on my way home from the hospital. So thank you, I really needed these words. Thank you for sharing. I almost died 4 years ago. Slipped and fractured skull, I remember hearing the sound of ocean waves and knew I was dying. I lived alone and remained unconscious for 4 days.

I felt as just what you said - the doctors arent god and I was alive by a miracle. It was incredibly difficult to do but foods and herbs helped. But after I woke I had vomiting, dizziness, hearing problems, eyesight issues. My hair sheds out a lot today and I still have a soft spot where my skull fractured. I have a touch of dyslexia and have a hard time concentrating on reading but I knew I survived by a miracle and am back to myself but actually more improved.

I believe something saved me so I could fulfill a purpose. I hope you will believe me when I say it's best not to dwell on the "what ifs. I worked in an ICU and saw some people recover from horrible injuries, but most did not.

If they weren't able to relieve the pressure on his brain, he would have herniated and the results would be the same. I have seen that there are worse things than death, from work and in my own life. My grandfather lived in a miserable state for 20 years after he survived being taken off the ventilator.

He had a stroke after a brain aneurysm repair at 58 years old, so he lived with the damage from the stroke for all of that time. He was confined to a wheelchair, then bedridden for the last 3 years of his life. He only knew my grandmother, my mom, and his 3 other children. I felt like I lost my grandfather the day he went into the hospital for the aneurysm repair.

My sister was flown by helicopter after being found unresponsive in her recliner at home. She had been there for 3 days. We still don't know what happened, I have suspicions about her odd neighbors since she had some trauma to her head on both sides, not something that would happen if she had fallen before sitting in her recliner.

Her MRI was terrible. She had suffered a stroke or lack of oxygen to her brain, or both, they weren't sure, she was only 46 years old. Her brain was swelling, and she didn't respond to anything. I noticed she began to posture, which indicates severe brain damage.

I knew that even if she survived and could breathe on her own, she would be in a vegetative state. A scoring system to determine a person's level of consciousness. A score of 15 is determined by eye movement, verbal skills and the person's motor skills and reaction to pain.
